listener to come up with their own interpretations) I spent
a lot of time on this one so please any constructive
critisiscm is welcome...

X04

also help yourself to X02 and the X02 remix if you haven't
heard them yet. Any comments on those songs are welcome
also.

Re: X04

It's pretty good. Nice ambient track.
I like the percussion. It's subdued but it works really
well with the whole feel of the track.

Heard X04. Very nice, would prefer if it would have stayed
beatless.

I think that it is very very good indeed, but if it was me,
I would work more on the percussion beat... it would lift
your song up...

In my point of vieuw that is !

Rollers, panning, roomchange, en let the background noise
make a pattern with the flow, I mean did you place it
carefully or did you just put the file on a track... try
the beginning of the noise sequence at different hitpoints
regarding your ohter tracks ...
I think this is minimal, jet imortant

I like the background noise. although you could try giving
more and less emphasis to it now and then. its just there
now (although later on there are some fluctuations..)..

watch out with the reverb on the bell-like sounds. reverb is
always a dangerous thing to use.. :P

you must know I'm no big fan of synths - I kind of hate
them. they always sound kind of flat to me. the melody
doesn't do that much for me - but thats completely down to
taste.

I agree with Xammax - it doesn't need the beats. you should
try to make the beats from home-made sounds. they sound kind
of "pre-set" now, like a drummachine.

I agree with GreenT on the panning - overall sounds a bit
two-dimensional. also miss some more bassy sounds, for
contrast.

finally - this really reminds me of Plaid's "trainer"
compilation for some reason..

But I do realise that you have put a lot of work in this (I
think)

By the way, I had the same feeling with your other song, I
think your percussion should talk more, from left to right,
bang roll hop, and then smoothly go to harp (or something
else)

Go to www.ensemble-home.com and listen very carefully to the
percussion beat... that is what I mean.

If you don't like it, don't mind the voices, but do listen
to the percs...

but then again, who am I, you know tastes !!!!

Thanks for your replies. You guys are right about that
background noise that I have. I could have just done some
more with it. I wanted to keep it fairly simple and create a
ambient rain sound that just kinda stays in the background.


I also looked at that site, those are some spiffy beats.
I'll eventually produce skillfull beats in the future, but
for now, I have to keep it simple, while still making it as
interesting as possible.

u r good.
my ideas about your track druqk:
look at your music like you look at a picture.
every track is layer from that picture.
i.e: "rain" is the thinest layer:::you can hardly "see" it
mix the layers in such way that you will create a new
perception on viewer's ears. ha!___i meant: the guys who see
the music
u know::::
anyway, i think you are talented
