My first track, ever :D

I wouldn't mind some feedback on this track, although I've
listened to it enough to know where the weaknesses are
already (at least how I see them, but maybe you'll think of
something new to tell me.) This track was done with all
audio, no midi, as I'm experimenting with which I like
better. Anyway, hope ya like it! :)

ease up on the stereo panning.

1,000x better than my first track.

wow, thanks man! Yeah, the panning gets quite annoying in
headphones, but I'm not against it on regular speakers ;)

Very good for a first track. The stilted, typewriter style
percussion is good. Like Pomme says, you could ease up on
the panning a bit. The bassline is pretty good, almost
MHTRTC era BoC.

thanks for the feedback mate :) Another friend of mine said
it reminded him of BoC, but I didn't see it. ;) Not that I
don't appreciate the comment all the same though, hehe..

Amazing for a firsttrack, i love the rhythm (especially the
way Ceri described it) It reminds me of Sonic the Hedgehog
music (thats a good thing by the way). Synth lines are
gorgeous

Keep at it mate, you've got some nice ideas :)

haha, yeah the way ceri puts it makes it sound cooler than
it really is... =D

Actually though, the drum track sounds coolest by itself, in
the mix you can't hear some of the lo-fi-ness of it as
well..

i like it. i didn't even have a problem with the panning.
the thing to work on would be making the sample cuts not so
obvious. make it blend together more.

other than that, excellent. murray was right, it reminds me
alot of sonic music, but the sonic games have always had
excellent music.

keep at it, chum.

Yeah I know what you mean about the blending thing.. that's
definately something I'll be working on.

with the panning, my objective was to make it a pan that
kind of went back and forth with the beat, but listening in
headphones I did kind of get a dizzying effect from it... I
like it in regular speakers though :)

Thanks for listening everyone.

it has some nice synths and good melodies. i think it's a
little weak in the beats department. the stereo leslie
effect gets a bit worn out but i think its a good start to
what could be a great track. good first effort.

thanks man, beats is definately the area I'll have to work
hardest at.. I can do melodies okay, but beats I'm pretty
sucky at! :D

I like the panning myself. But every time it panned left it
tickled my ear in a nails on chalkboard kind of way. Perhaps
it was just vibrating some earwax. Hopefully so because that
means I'll have something to eat later today. The right ear
was fine though. It was a pretty fast good melody, kinda
repetitive but not really in an annoying way.

hahahaha, the thought of you eating better because of my
track makes me feel like a million bucks. :)

hey man, this isn't at all bad for a first track

I guess it's easy for me to say since the only art I produce
nowadays goes down the toilet (literally).

a proposition for the man who did the sleeping.

I'm utterly surprised by my own level of incomprehension for
that previous post of yours.

A very enjoyable track, the first 10 seconds sounded very
familiar but I can't quite remember where from (maybe one of
the AE remixes?) but anyway, great song title and I love
those xylophone sounds in the middle.

Great work, can't wait to hear more from you.

hehe, the bridge/breakdown with the xylophone is my favorite
part too :)

Thanks for the words of encouragement man, I'll make sure my
next efforts are redoubled so I don't let you down ;)

hey you should put this song on my "first song" thread.
that would be a lofty bump.

I actually really liked the panning. The tapping type snare
worked really well. I'm impressed man. I don't think I've
reached this standard yet and I've been doing it for ages.
DAMN!

BAM!

Not bad for a first song. I'd saying it was lacking
something though.
