more or less finished - just looking for alternative ears on the mixdown.

Think the mixdown sounds fine, cant really hear any issues......sounds good imo
Like the tune.....good ,funky techno.

nice work B

[BloodStar]

proper track. very funky, and also lot of energy in the bottom end. nice edits andlittle breaks here and there. Would love to hear this on big rig,.

Production sounds great. Good work on the reverbs and arrangement! I can imagine adding saturated groove bass in there, but it could destroy the vibe.

good work!

Doesn't seem to want to open for me Bazmond.

[loopdon]

I'd love to listen to this but frankly - i can't open the file. has it gone amiss?

[rhythmtech]

ive taken it down to touch it up a little. i'll put it back up soon.

[DannyBlack]

Nice one, will wait with baited breath

[BRADLEE]

I'd like to hear it Baz, sorry I didn't get enough time for the competition.

[rhythmtech]

link back up

added a saturated bassline (thanks for the idea bloodstar, sounds much fuller) and re-did the mix and mastering.

Sounds interesting, funky but I can't help feeling that there's something missing...
You got some wicked sounds going on in there. Love it.

there is.. a backbone. its a little tame for my tastes.. :lol:

[DannyBlack]

:lol: you need to accentuate the balls in this track.

Production sounds clean, nice space....Maybe like Danny said could possibly use one more element since it's nearly a 7 minute tune. But yeah man, I recon should go well in a club.

[loopdon]

Clean production. Didn't expect anything else :wink:
You truely are a master of synths. I mean it!
Arrangement-wise i can learn loads of you you.
No arse-licking here - it's a stunning track and i really enjoy it. You are
a great great producer in my book.

Technical: I reckon the bassline could be more heavy (in terms of subby bass power). Or the the kick. At the moment i reckon none of each is really ''deep''.
The bass sounds a little ''maxxbassy'' (i am sure you know what i mean)
Which is fine but i think a stronger counterpart in the kick is needed.
I think if you beefed up the kick in the sub region it would provide an even nicer interplay between the components. Or adding some more real physical sub to the bassline instead. Or perhaps try andy marry the kick more to the kick by terms of tuning them note-wise, + adding a little more real meat to ''married'' pair together.

Also i think this could be improved slightly by providing an even deeper soundstage. Means: Pushing some sounds more to the back to create an even more 3D experience. Seems like there's room to push some sounds more back in the mix (lessened highs etc.; you know the score)

I did some searching on two articles regarding space i had read and finally found them:

Cooly

First thing is the kick maybe sounds a little over compressed, or at least compressed in a way that leaves it a little too flappy. I`d pull the attack back just a touch to allow a little more woomph in.
Just a touch.

The bass I think could be a touch fuller also, as at the moment it sounds very much like a radio mix. Bringing it up a touch would sound fuller.

The hats sound a little over processed maybe, a little too thin. Too much EQ?
They sound a little flat and could do with a touch more sparkle.
I`d maybe look at applying compression to them to widen them out, or use less EQ.

Overall the mix feels a little too processed, and a touch too unnatural and sharp.
I think the problem is over EQ. None of the sounds really stand out and make you pay attention, they all seem far too equally weighted and processed, making the overall dynamic very flat.

I`d pick one or 2 main elements and give them more room to breath, pull back some of the EQ on them and maybe compress them a touch for a little size.

Really nice stuff man
The kick sounds too loud and sharp to me, and there's not quite the "depth" there. But for a mixdown sounds spot on, and both the kick and the depth would come out nice in the mastering

good work dude
