this sounds really nice!! your bass sounds are wicked here.thanks man, i've actually been making my basses with fruity's crappy little synth "3 osc" ... its god-awful simple interface is actually kind of an interesting challenge for me, i'm finding it really good for basses (with plenty of other effects layering going on of course).
:) ... actually this is the first time i've put a significant amount of energy into my "tighten up" cut-ups... that break is so much fun to use.drums sound nice and clean. i can't want to hear it with the drum turnarounds and whatnot although even without them it sounds good.
My critique of this tune:you know, honestly , i have no fricken clue why its that fast, i dont remember setting the tempo to 183 ;) ... i'll probably slow it down to 175'ish in the final mix
- it sounds really fast (but then, i write tunes at 170 so that speed is stuck in my head so i couldn't technically consider this a legitimate gripe)
- the drop didn't particularly grab me (not much dramatic effect)i can see that, it doesnt really have a strongley defined drop, it kinda rolls on and gets bigger and smaller... i'm not sure i'm going ot give it a huge trancey drop, though i might make it a little more dramatic.
definitely, i noticed this too... i was hoping by changing around the drums and using some dubby kung-fu samples i could rectifiy this, but i think i also need to make the progression a little more... well, progressive :)- gets repetitive around 4 minutes because there aren't many different parts to the song
the overall energy level remains the same, i think it would sound better if
there was more of a build up to the bass stuff.
so you are talking about a long intro before the first bass come in? i thought about doing that at first but then i didnt really have enough material to stretch out the intro/build...
good idea, i'll definitely look into this...IMO you could get away with the repetition if you used a more varied palate of timbres and changed the melody of your pads. other melodic elements would hlep as well.
but anyway. take that all with a grain of salt. ultimately I liked it. :)
thanks man, i really appriciate this kind of feedback, it really helps me confirm those little naggin feelings ("this is too repetative") in the back of my head and lay out what i need to do to fix them...
cheers,
josh
