powerful percussion all through..
i like the chill mood of the melody as well

i like the reverby ending on the drums too

if you add some more synths it may sound a bit like boc

I loved your last track you posted, Route
something-or-other, and God knows, I'd love to listen to
this one, but as luck would have it, my sound is not
working. :[

me likes this too .its rarther beautiful and full on too

id love to expand on the ambientyness it finishes to quick
that ambient synth sound is real nice at the end, extend
that ,then come back in with the same drum patterns with
more mellow kits sounds then the hardcore ones at the end.

im just back seat forum mixing whilst eating a sandwich :P

yeah, need that mellow synth sound to continue.at the end
.

thanks for checkin' it, homegirl!

basically I agree it should be longer. It's just tricky to
keep it fresh without the track overstaying it's welcome. In
the end most of my tracks end up around 2:00-2:30, which is
something I really need to work on.

Good advice all around :)

It's good!

record the organ at a lower volume, then over-compress it
and boost volume to get that airy sound on top of it.

The end should degrade into a state with more and more
reverb so that you couldn't separate sound from sound until
suddenly, like a butterfly emerging from it's pupae,
bursting out into full-fledged melodic awesomeness!

just for the interest of music productiones investigationess
.....did you smoke during the making of this piece? i ask
because i gave up a while ago and i am just wondering ...im
not saying it is trippy.or anything i just wonder did you
focus clean or intoxicated?

it's not so good imho
reverb is shitty sounds all muddy
percussion sounds are whimpy and don't sound nice at all,
and even sound wrong in that it has some kind of glitch?
and you need to mix the whole thing way better and use way
more eq and compression and not use the reverb like that and
the composition isn't good either and i assume it's
unfinished?
lol i didn't mean to sound harsh but it's just my opinion.
if you really like it maybe you should get better
monitoring.
not saying all this to piss you off but jus tby chance
listened to it and figured you would rather have my honest
opinion than none at all as in any feedback is feedback i
hope.

thanks everyone for the comments :)

freqy: when i get a little more time i'll try and make an
ambient loop of the ending there, maybe throw in some light
shifty pads. I was indeed a little stoned when I made
this, as with most of my tunes... I usually take a single
nice rip and leave it at that- any more tenses me up too
much.

mdv: any feedback is good feedback! and I thank you for
taking the time to listen. Of course, I don't necessarily
agree with all of your points- specifically I don't agree
that the drums are "wimpy" ;p. Generally speaking, I suck at
mastering- as do a lot of the spammers here, so I tend to
let that aspect go a bit and just focus on getting the most
out of the sequence. On this track I was going for more of a
"mesh" of drums... I was sort of picturing a netting of
drums, if that makes sense. Some people like it, some
don't... can't win em all. I'm very pleased with the track
though in the end.
