Scott 'Kemix' - S.A.W 666

[Scott Kemix]

cool, i was gonna leave the mastering to lawrie to phatten up the bass etc. Think i will adjust that stabby riff though, as i thought it was pretty constant. Any suggestions for the riff??? More notes??? or less to make it a bit more minimal

cheers

I`d get as much done as possible before you send it too lawrie to master.
The bass should be sorted before it reaches the vinyl cutting stage as they only make minor tweaks.
Maybe more notes, or something other than that rising 2 note riff that you here too often.
I`d double it up with another warmer sound, as this track over all sounds a bit too dry and soft studio-ey

[Scott Kemix]

As i said i dont want to add a bassline, just boost the bass freq at the mastering stage to add a nice punch to it. Cool will double up with another riff maybe, though i dont think it sounds soft studio-ey as most the kit i used to produce it was analog stuff.....i.e. outboard effects, and a virus c. Must be the mp3 quality you are hearing.

cheers though ;)

[dirty_bass]

Could be the mp3. It may be that the sounds are over dry. Dunno. It just sounds a little "cardboard-ey". Hard to explain, but I guess it`s the lack of sinewaves.

[fatcollective]

hahah scott about time you started up loading tracks.

i like this track mate, will deffo work on da floor. good stuff man :clap:

i do like this, some nice things going on, but i agree with dirty and eyes, its lacking a few things.
now i can see what your saying, this was how you wanted to make the tune, you could have added a bassline etc if you wanted to, but unfortunately, whats making this a normal bog standard, nothing special tune and not being a great track that people must go out and buy and play is the lack of bassline, the lack of some different riffs here and there, the lack of analogue fluctuating and breathing.

its not negative feedback, its positive, listen to what people are saying and use it to build on.

saw is a great film by the way

sinewaves? I did not want to put any sine waves into the track hense not adding a bassline. "cardboard-ey"? is there anything else that wrong with it? :lol:

cheers man, i will take everything thats said about the track and move on, though i dont think the lack off bassline could stop the track selling. I have bought load of wicked tunes lately that dont have basslines, that are drum led tracks and these are the ones that do it for me. I agree about the riff thing, maybe a few different pattern switches here and there will help. I dont know what you mean by the lack of analogue fluctuating and breathing, as i did not want to over compress this track to create that effect overall.

nice, yep saw is a great film ;)

[dan the acid man]

the anologue fluctuating and breathing was more for the synth, it sounds too digital overall, it could do with a few subtle filter movements to make it more anologue sounding

[Scott Kemix]

ah cool, i tend to use filter type automation/movement on riffs that contain more notes, as opposed to simple stabby riffs. The sound that is used is off a virus c synth, and like most of the samples on there they have alot of warmth and analogue feel to them i think. Will adjust this though to see the desired effect.,

cheers man

[slavestudios]

this is olid.

in regards to what eyes & bass say, i like trax like this to have space to let another track right over the top straight away..

the fact there is little bassline means when you mix a track with big bass & drop it, the impact will kill...



Good Work Kemix :clap: :clap: :clap:

if i was still playing vinyl & techno, i'd have 2 copies of this.

love the triplet breaks

[Scott Kemix]

cheers, that was where i was comin from with this track. I made it for the dj, where i find most tunes with basslines that stand out tend to fight over each other in the mix. :clap:

[Pheeva]

I really like this track, would go down well on the dancefloor!
Nice errie & dark, deffo a release for the future :clap:

Unless you use EQ when you mix
Ok fair enough, no more production tips for you when you post.
Sorry

[eyes without a face]

agreed with Steve, i apologise also for trying to help you out ;)

i suppose its because we hate dj tools, ive never understood the meaning of them to be honest

I don`t agree with making life easy for DJ`s.
It`s easy enough as it is to mix 2 tunes of similar tempo together that go BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM so they know where the beat is. So why make it easier?
Instead of making a good complete tune, why leave it up to them to make it out of other tunes?
I say kill the DJ`s and long live the musicians

Erm, off topic I know :roll:

[Scott Kemix]

Calm down guys think you are takin it to heart, that other people have different opinions. I have took what you said into account and dont know what more you want me to say.

ach f**k of DB.. how many times can u trot this line out ? ? ?


so u dont like tools. dont mean we cant. some of us like to use 3 turntables & fx to blend minimil elements.. even if those minimil elements are brainless 'BOOM BOOM BOOM' as you put it..

this 'anti dj tool' s**t is gettin tired man...
