then maybe double the length of the one to two bars at 4.18 with a touch of extra tension and introduce a new bit of percussion there, maybe a different flavour of sound something very exciting though ... remember (i know this is a bit of a music diversion here :) ) prince in Get Off, there's a conga sample about 2/3s of the way through that appears and it's fantastic, set in a different space.

then i'd be thinking that i might want to change the way that pad works through the track, keep the music the same probably but throw in a new texture or two with some more detail in it. and personally i'd experiment with dropping to a different chord in the break or something, some really beautiful unexpected change ... it may not work but i'd give it a shot.

but that's only me if i wuz doing it so i'd suggest ignoring me ... cause it is already lovely in many ways
Hahahaha thats more like it, cheers thats wickid man. Actually my cpu is struggling. Looks like its going to be a long day of bouncing down tomorrow :cry: . Once the cpu is free I think I will deffo bring in another drum sound at 3.56 and change the texture. I had a gated pad which seemed to fit a previous version. I have already done the bit with the compression :lol:
