This one is a bit harsher than the last one because I am
not in such a good mood now :D

This one is called woozy and again it is available
here.

Those of you who didn't listen to meandmyrat before could
listen know as well :D

Thank you, I really do appreciate it :P

Aww come on it will only take 1:52 of your time...and I
think these two tracks are the best I have ever made (I know
that is not saying much...but hey...I try :D )

Will listen and reply to both as soon as my studying is
done.... I think people are burned out by the number of
tracks on here lately

lol, you are probably right, but I think I have listened to
each and every one of them and commented. Hopefully those
people will return the favour :D

heheh, sounds like the soundtrack to a tom&jerry cartoon, if
tom&jerry were robots....

not something I'd listen to a lot, but i like the background
noises, and that bit at the end where it sounds like
hitting-glasses :D

sounds like the bass drum is a bit too loud. I can tell you
we're kinda going for this subdued melody/autechre kinda
thing, but I think its too loud. Nice ending. I kinda agree
with my little sister on the cartoon thing.

Yeah, very subdued melody on the track... can barely hear
what's going on with the ambient parts, melting into each
other quite a bit.

A lot of the effects are well implemented, the chromatic
snare in the background, etc.

I think, and take it how you will, the brilliance behind
aphex twin and squarepusher is their ability to take an idea
and play off it not longer than keeps it interesting, then
moves on. Like a jazz musician.

That in mind, I'd like to hear some of the ideas worked on
in the piece. You have some little percussive melodies that
are quite interesting, but don't come out, dropping the
energy of the track. Maybe try thinking of the song from
idea to idea... phrasing, the classical term for it if
you're familiar. I like the phrase at the very end, would
like to see that developed some

The drum sounds get repetitive for me, partially because of
the mastering, the metallic sounds are in the front of the
soundscape and the higher hats, once in a while the snares.

These are the kind of reviews I'd like to see on my tracks,
but what can ya do... I'll check out the other track
tomorrow and give my feedback

checking woozy

yeah this is a bit different. i can see the idea behind the
rhythms, but i think it might need a few more out-of-time
elements to sustain a groove

i find the overall feeling a bit flat at present

samples are nice. yeah just a bit more 'accidental' stuff
would offer more to me as a listener

mendmyrat

im liking this more :) the harmonies quite amuse me..
combined with the restricted samples in the percussion..
which itself gets thrown around nicely in places.

yeah the harmony and the quality of the synth have made this
song for me :D what a laff!

Its cool! I like it!

What are you using for a programs and machines ?

Your main melody sounds like a molested TX81z : ) (Or really
any Yam DX/TX line synth). I like it!

Hi thanks for listening everyone. Yup I agree about the
bass drum...what happened was, I started working on this
track in Reason and I produced a wave file of an early
version (which I normally do because for some reason the
volume levels I hear in Reason aren't what ends up on the
track.)

Anyway I do the file and Reason crashes so I loose all the
work. So the one file I have is all there will ever be of
this track :( Ah well.

Mastering in Reason is really, really, really, really
difficult to do well. You get the same sort of sound no
matter what you do, and it's always way below the levels you
expected, even if you play it off good speakers

Have cubase or logic or protools or cool edit... etc, etc?
Might be a good track to do some wave splicing/pasting with
while you remaster

Yep I am just getting into using logic. I have about 5
minutes worth of additional drum programming after the track
on the original wav file minus the bass drum, kind of like
the stuff at the very end of the track. I think I will use
that. :P

Cool, looking forward to hearing it when you're done
