i found the riff very catchy indeed, this would get me moving in a club.

This version is a little quiet at the moment though, coulddo with being compressed and hats being made a little more prominent.

im not too sure about the kick drum rolls when they become very fine but the bass line is pretty rich :)

im curious as to what synth was used for the riff, it sounds quite nice 8)

[Dan.T.]

Both the Bassline and the Riff are made on the Novation V-station ;)

cheers for ya comments :)

i thought it wasa novation synth, but i was thinking of the supernova, i have the k-station , great synths.

i aint had a chance to have a go at the v station yet.

Ive only started to delve into the whole world of synthesis recently, i have ownedmy k station for over a year now but for a large part of that time didnt have a clue how to use it, i just pissed about with the presets until a month or 2 ago.

most of the time im using vst synths which are good but im neglecting my hardware :cry:

im gonna get hold of a virus c in a month or 2 then use both of em for most things.

can u use v station patches on the k-station and vise versa?

i wouldnt mind that patch on my synth :P

[Dan.T.]

I dont even have any hardware at all :| apart from me pc and midi keyboard.

i want a jp8000 :| :| :|

as for the patches mate i got no idea?...

[Dan.T.]

Anyone else?

Man o Man !

This tune in my opinion can only be desribed in a few words !

****in wicked man !

The beat is offset , mint

The hats are perfick , mint

The breaks , mint

The melody synth , mint

I think the only work that need sto be done is Atmosphere ,

Lack a bit of body in the FX range , or maybe a few wierd vocals !

But so far 8 out of 10 , Wanna hear the finished version ASAP man

That beginning tune is haunting me in the humming and tapping of feet area !

Keep it up dude !

I dont lie !

hey dan, i feel you give too much of the riff away at the early stages of the tune mate, its a bit too predictable after the break, a bit monotonous as we say, not to sure about the kick rolls mate, need a bit of sussing, bassline is pretty fat mate, nice synth aswell..as someone said, you need to layer your percussion a bit more give it a different feel at points, also another thing i disliked was that the bassline changes, theres a fee to many, although they follow the riff nicely, it sounds a bit offputting, beef up ya kick aswell mate, give it a bit of reverb maybe.

also try and filter down your riff at points to give it a bit more of an edge when it comes back in, play with your resonance a bit, albino all the way!
