Scott Gray - Youth

hey peeps, been up since early doing this, just thought id post it at this point n see what peeps think, more of a deep, but tough track

http://www.iterativemusic.com/~scott...Gray_Youth.mp3

might change some of the synths later i think but any comments welcome

cheers

Nice Tech House.
No bass here?
I think the main pads could do with more movement, and perhaps a more musical (customised) chord progression, rather than moving the same chord around the scales.
Sounging nice so far.

changed it a little now, just adding a few more elements

thanks tho dude

updated ;)

quite old skool sounding scott, :lol: :lol: v nice

cheers dude! ;)

good solid techno groove!
Maybe a little lead synth on top to give it some more variation.
Or just take out the big synth pad (after the second short break) and build some other structure in the middle and come back with the big pad synth after that.

Otherwise it goes around in circles.
But hey, besides that, I like it!!!

grtz

another clean piece of top work from mr gray..

Top Work Fella :clap:

do you ever get remixes done by pals for the craic ?

nice one scott, another deep detroit style tune, im diggin the groove in this, very tech housey/funky shit

Very groovy :) I really like it and appreciate what you do with that vocal. Nice track :clap: About synths - there are ok, but of course you can always work to make them better :)

I really love the pads man. Very nice. I love the overall feel of the tune too, but I'd like to hear you spice up the drums a bit. You always just seem to use very oridinary dry noises Scott. If you spiced them up just a bit, I think it bring them together even that much more. Just my 2 cents

cheers peeps

ive thought this bought your drums at times as well scott, but its not so noticeable as your synths & strings usually take the lead.

yeah perhaps sometimes my drums are not the most prominent or well done element in the track but they are solid enough and yeah synths are definately were im at, i need my drums to compliment them rather than overpower them

but thanks anyway kids

this has been taken anyway for a label, more details when its sorted!

Ahh no shit which one?

This still sounds like an autochord has been used and just moved around the scales, rather than a proper chord progression.
That kind of chord work is very typical of old skool, because they used sampled chords, and so couldn`t make a proper chord progression.
Sounds very very dated now.
Go download a chord chart and and take a look, seeing as you love your synths, you would benefit.

other than that this is groovy tech house, but a tad non descript.

This is cool man, but I'd personally drop the synth entirely and take the drums and other samples and go somewhere else with it.
The synth just sounds out of place... you could make a nice clubby bomb with the backbone you have here. ;)

definately doesnt sound out of place, not too everyones favour but out of place, nah...

thanks anyway tho peeps

Feeling this - Like the old skool synth and the drums i thought were good for the style of track. Hit me up when its done Scott!

Chris

the paddy synth isn't to my taste either. but the rest of it is wicked, really liking the groovy rhythm & top production :cool:

thats gorgeous. not to my taste, but very nicely done all the same. i can't stand the vocal though.

thanks guys, much appreciated!
