More deep n melodic here, I actually pulled this off the HD after makin it 2 years ago, and thought it deserved a finishing touch. Still deciding on the atmospheres and stuff, although the main arrangement is there. It's got a funny kik that I made with Attack that I quite like, it has a softness that defo does it for me, but I need to know what the masses think.. I want dreamy floaty as opposed to bangin so bear that in mind tho..

lovely electroish style goin on here.. very old school melodic feel to it.
bass needs lifting a touch and the kick could do with a little more definition.
the panned strings work very well for this kinda thing and the short little key changes keep the interest.
theres a section that starts at 2 mins thats really sweet to listen to..
reminds me of playing LSG - Hearts at a party in the mountains here while the sun came up about 12 years ago.. good times :)
thankz for bringing that memory back my man!!
Yeah reminds me of the good old days too...agree that it could use a little bit more variation on the synths sometimes, but overall very beautifiul song I would say.
Yeah man, I know the bit you mean, that happened a bit by accident and I just made the best of it, reminds me also of outdoor parties and sunrises, I just don't get much of that these days.. good times indeed.Quote:

Like this the moment it played Will...production sounds pretty nice too.
Reminds me of a sorta oldscool detroit feel....love that little rolling key change..nice little change.
Think the drop needs fillin up a bit or just add something new thats introduced there...some subtle background atmosphere to open it up a bit maybe?
Again,on the headphones so cant comment accuratley on production,but sounds pretty good this end.
Your tunes are getting better and better mate...think this pips ur last one,and i thought that was good...seem to be getting a nice melodic sound for urself.
Good work!
Thanks Brad, glad it takes you back to the old times a bit, it only got resurrected last night, so it does need a bit o' work yet to make it what it deserves to be, I think I'll just selectivly modulate the f*** outta all the pads and add a bit more cutoff work to it, that should keep me busy for a bit.Quote:

You are right, the break needs a real sense of depth, I think rolling the bass off gradually doesn't help as it makes the volume drop more obvious. I'll work on it tomorrow and post results.Quote:

Definitely the perfect setting being an outdoor chill out section with the sun rising just before 6am n your pallet's just ready for a beer n a bifta just to ease any rough edges... aaaaaaahhh :hmm:
Give the break a bit more identity, as has been mentioned, with sounds that are a bit more 21st century.. i.e. just as soothing but with something you've just gotten hold of n hav'nt used yet...
Nice....:cool:
nice melodic spacey track with chilled atmo, i like. all the synths sounds sweet, arrangement sounds well structured aswel. as for the productrion, it sounds good, maybe more definition on kick would be nice and also there is one hihat which sounds pretty sharp and also owerpowers rest of the hats, i would back it off a bit.
other than that, another lovely track from you.. thumps up,.
Cheers man, I'm just workin on the break now, have added another BIG abstract synth riff that works well plus some more low pads to beef things up. I'll repost later on.Quote:

I've recently got new monitors and that has kinda thrown the production thing back a bit for me, as I've now got to get used to a totally different bottom-end and top-end, and I was only just gettin things right before I switched. Ah well, this is the beauty of the BOA forum tho, different sets of ears are always good:)Quote:

Sounds even better second time round....work some more on the breakdown,
i reckon the trk merits a big drop...big in, feel and emotion. The breakdown needs to be as good as the rest of the trk to do it justice.
I think this as the potential to be a big tune.
Many thanks Loopdon, really glad you liked it.Quote:

Link workin again:)
quality little track
nice theme, nice production. lovely sound man.
good stuff tyrisia
Nice stuff, reminds me of Plink Plonk records in a way. That very ealry stage of dance music, when techno was trance and trance was techno.
That kick could definitely do with more definition, I`d sort out the top end on it to balance with the hats.
The mid to low mid could do with a little more cleaning up too as that main low melody seems a little too dominant.
Overall very nice though, you don`t hear much stuff like this any more, and melody has always been one of your strengths anyway (in my opinion).
@p brane, thanks for the comments man, glad you liked it, still not quite finished but gettin there.
@ Dirty Bass, cheers dude, yeah I haven't really done a final mixdown on this one, was more bothered about sounds and ideas, but I see what you mean about main low melody (by that I think you mean the bassline), it needs alot of cleaning up, and the kick is gonna get changed completely, it's proving too hard to get right, or maybe I'll pinch some topend off another kick and keep the lowend. Glad you liked it mate.
