Guest combeferre Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 ok I'm listening now... cool psychedelic percussion and other sounds echoing around there in the first couple of minutes. but they are maybe a little too prominent compared to the kick and bassline, with maybe just a touch too much reverb and delay. at least on my pc speakers, which admittedly aren't great. That distorted sound at 1:30 is nice. as are the harsh sounds at 2:00, would've liked to have heard more of them =) it's pretty cool hypnotic trance. but it's a little on the short side, there is more room to develop it into something longer IMHO. but overall a good track. hope you've found this helpful.

Guest coriolis Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 amit_t: - your track's overall sound is coherent, you're choice of sounds and timing is good, you have good instincts there. continue to develop them. this is a very good piece of work, especially for a first attempt in fruity. - your kick and bass are mixed too low, i agree with combeferre on that, but they otherwise sound good. btw, the best thing you can do for yourself in mixing and production is buying a pair of studio monitors. - compositionally speaking, you're track, in the first 2 minutes, didn't do enough that you weren't already doing at the beginning. i found myself waiting for it to build up to something and change/take a new direction but it didn't for a while. but then, around 2minutes, it does and that is refreshing. overall, though, you need to work on using your elements together to make tightly knit, exciting weavings of your track, make it more exciting, more energy-building and overall take your movements and transitions up a notch on the energy-scale. you're track, while it has a good sound, doesn't take me on as wild a trip as i'd like, in fact it was at the low end of interest that would keep me listening/dancing. one issue at stake here is that the basic loop of the track didn't have enough energy in its own right enough to be classified as a good minimal style track, and the builds and movements didn't have enough energy to be a good full-on track, so you're caught between not being powerful enough in terms of either full-on style or minimal style, so the track just sounds overall 'low energy' and ambiguous in style (not that you have to conform to an established style - not at all - but know where your stuff falls - understand its style, be it traditional or totally new) - on the use of your samples - this track would be better without them as they are now. make them more interesting. do something weird with them, something outside the boundaries of reality, you know? right now they're just head-nods to the convention of dropping in a sample at important points in the song. and the thing about hitler being dead just doesn't seem like it fits the track. - overall, good work! don't think that I am trying to attack your track, not at all, quite the contrary. i am impressed with it so i decided to say more about specifically what i liked and didn't like. keep going man and lets hear more. coriolis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Amit_t Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 thank u guys very informative reviews i have saved this page and will read it every time I start out on another trak. also i was wondering if anyone knows where i can find good stuff on production quality.. as much as I love my first trak I am fully aware that on a scale of 10 it stands at 1.1 for production, thats where I want to improve.
