I began writing this in Rome, and I worked on it, on the plane back to Boston, and then some more in Boston... so it kind of is like the theme song to my leaving rome. Anyways, I hope you enjoy. (Beats and Melodies galore). |

no suggestions? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
that wasn't supposed to be a reply to you. Just in general, anyone? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you don't need suggestions... just make the music you want to make... |
||||||||

i agree with the funkmaster here. but if you want to split hairs, the bass is a little too low in the mix for my taste. i would have made it more prominent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Im just looking for ways to improve. you lose objectivity after awhile, and need someone to say, dude, your ears fucked, the bass is too low. :-D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Excellent track. Love the floating chilled mood and the arrangement. Great contrasting textures - sometimes your stuff sounds too "clean" to me. What did you use for drums? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ha ha, you're right, i was just being lazy. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bah, everyone tells me my stuff is too clean :( I like clean :'( but thanks for listening, glad ya liked it! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, and the drums were put together from random drum hit samples ive collected. some electronic, some acoustic. Lots of processing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, that seems to be the way to get interesting percussion - work with processed samples. I dunno, every time I use typical drum plugin software it bores me to tears. It's like writing "lines" as punishment. Clean can be nice, but this track stands out because the drums are a little dirty. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats a good song but its a little too produced for my tastes. but really, very groovey |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"I like clean :'( " hey, so do Plaid... keep up the good work man... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
listening now :) extremely nice. i like all the sounds and everything. yay |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well. Great production. But. The beat is kind of ungroovy, yes, and the melodies do nothing for me. Which is sad. I still think your best track is that one you did for Nigel. Yes. All right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks for listening guys :-D |
||||||||
|
|

I really enjoyed this one. Possibly your best yet, because this is one I plan on keeping. Everything sounds great, but its a bit too quiet. Try raising the mids some more, you can definately make that snare louder. And the bassline just need to be raised by a hair, dont overdo it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
glad ya liked it man :) Good suggestions... thanks |

ONCE AGAIN I HAVE DEFEATED YOU MATT "THE ZEUS" USNICK |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn, and I lost my arm too :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually i think the snare sounds kind of out of place with the piece |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
really? Thats one of the things I like the most. Punch and in yo face. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*punchy |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
this is a really good song though you should maybe have a remix competition |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah, no remix compition. Thats something you do when you actually have fans :-P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well at least let me give it a hummer |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
alrighty |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just listened, I thought this was produced well, but the melodies didn't really do anything for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

straight away it made me think of metamatics or goon or something... i like the scale your using, slightly oriental in parts... i can tell by listening that its a very good song, but unfortunaly it doesnt spark any kind of emotion within me, but thats a personal thing. my only other criticism would be that its beats are a little straightforward, but judging by the topic title im sure your aware of that :) props in production and composition tho, its very good. |

||||||||
|

Needs more bass, drums need to be snappier. Pads are nice, flows well, blows the drum sound out of the water... need to mesh the drums with the pads a lot more, mastering problem, up the level of the drums a bit maybe. The bass also gets overwhelmed, but comes in with a nice smooth groove, would like to hear it more pronounced. There isn't much progression in the drums which gives it a kind of repetitive feel, some of the ambient changes are really good though, 2:03 for example, the sudden ones carry the piece nicely. Layered pads work, nice mesh there, what plugin are you using for the pads? Atmosphere? That break at the end would have been really cool if you aluded to it earlier in the piece, the delayed pad noise is really nice, maybe just the bass line and that for just a bar or two? Nice stuff, master it up a bit and throw it up here again, bet you'll get more comments |

thanks guys, Im glad you liked it, and thanks for the production tips, Im going to remaster it at a later date, and will keep your suggestions in mind! |

Pretty good track Zeus... I can't think of anything unique to say... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Sure, hope that helped some, I just call em how I see em |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
zeus, it's great. my only suggestion is that the volume is too fucking low. and i think you gotta get a layer of some ambient fem vox in there. i guess i always suggest adding vocals to your stuff though..but its fucking great. so in conclusion. louder, and find some honey to lay a touch of sweet female vox. |
