Hi, Check out this track that I av done innit: Enjoy, Future Image |

This is great and your tracks are higher quality than most, especially now when the spirit of older lp5/etc stuff is mostly dead. I like function call better. this track is a good foundation & could maybe use another layer of faster click/pop/beat on top in a faster time scale to make it all more complex. |

Thanks mate! Constructive criticism is always good! btw Function Call's the track I sent out to labels in my demo sending spree a few months back. Future Music mag are going to feature it very very soon (maybe next issue) and FatCat records are also putting that and another track up on their Demo Database on their site. |

This is great. I've played it once, and I'm playing it again very loud. Lovely sound design, sweet off-kilter rhythms, and great momentum. I've also had a listen to your other tracks again; I had forgot how good they are - I still perhaps prefer them to this new one, good as it is. Have you sent off a demo yet? |

Sorry, didn't see that post, I just listened and wrote that reply. So you have sent stuff off. :-D |

another great track! feels like something louder should come over it. |

Yep sent about 5 or 6 demos out: FatCat like it, BUT they have "too many artists currently signed to the roster". However, they're going to host two of my tracks, Function Call and Frnak on their demo database on their site (which apparently gets 90,000 hits a day!) Future Music magazine will publish Function Call very soon, maybe next issue, I'll probably start a new topic about that once it happens. Being in the same issue as A Guy Called Gerald will be very nice indeed. I sent one to Wichita for a laugh (they may be looking to widen their range) and even though they said it sounded professional, it's "not their kind of stuff". haha. Still waiting for something or nothing from Mute, Modern Love and Skam... Thanks for all the comments guys! I might go back and do a rework of this, I've done that quite a few times now. |

Made a few changes, hopefully the sound is a little "bigger" and thicker in places. It's also a bit longer. Which version is better, the first or the second? |

I think this one has a fuller and a better overall sound, but the original felt more jittery and surprising (because there weren't those regular clap/snare sounds.) Maybe they could be a bit more irregular in places too? It's up to you - and maybe you wanted a more regular and dancey vibe - but perhaps you might want to try mutating those clap-ish sounds during the first half at a few points? I really like the stuff you added towards the end, though. I wouldn't have minded it going on a little longer, even. |

ok, i really can't be bothered to do any more work on it though cos ableton live's fucking up with it, and the only way of "rendering" is recording in real time with sound forge with the cpu fucking up again with latency. funnnnnnnnn. Anyways, thanks a lot for your comments! I'm looking for a bit more of an accessible sound on this one, so probably the second version? |
||||||||

Ah, you've made the program very transparent! You must be good at Ableton Live; I couldn't tell you'd done the track on it. I need to spend more time with that program; the new NiN album was created on it and some of the production in that is stunning...(I've only used it for live shows.) The track is fine as it is anyway - those were just suggestions. I'd go for the second version if you're after a more accessible sound. Look forward to hearing whatever you come up with next! |

Ok, thanks. Live's a great problem, I don't know why it's suddenly acting a bit weird on me (huge massive spikes in the sound levels whenever I render at random points, even if I cut the volume -20dB, I think it might be Synthedit plugins but I've had no trouble with them in the past on Live projects). Maybe it's cos I'm using a shit computer, I don't know. I need to get into NiN. What do you use then? I was and still am very impressed by Cognessence. Thanks a lot for the comments again. |

Sounds like a parody of what IDM's "supposed" to be - therefore utterly soulless. |

For Cognessence I used Cakewalk Sonar 3 (producer edition) with the odd bit here and there done on other programs and with lots of extra plugins...but most of the sound design actually stemmed from treated acoustic and hardware sources, with plenty of good old-fashioned anal cutting and clicking to boot. You can do wonders with a Nord Lead 3, an Eventide, and an MPC1000. ;-) For newer stuff (like Grinder) I still use Sonar, but also quite a bit of Pro Tools (just because it's faster and I can get even more obsessed with the anal micro editing without the bastard machine crashing on me because it can't cope with the number of tracks and the ridiculous automation.) |

Be honest, comparing Cognessence to that is like comparing sugar and shit. |

we aren't. Sonar makes sense. Programs have their own sound, Sonar's is massive and spacious (like Cognessence), Live's is quite small, clicky, empty if you see what I mean? |
