    There all dope tracks.....

    50_03 really did it for me tho....

    Only thing I can say about it is that the mix didnt feel as tight as the mix of IP1_01 ... maybe the kick could have a bit more punch....

    but thats about it.....

    great to hear some new stuff of you again!!!!

    Even beethoven had his critics!

    you must have good ears

    I changed the plugin on the kick for something less cpu intensive but the difference was really subtle, mite have to switch it bac :lol:. Im going to reopen that one later on today. I think instead of adding synths to it near the end I will add some really mangled stort hats or top end percussion

    Got another one, tweaking like

    46.1 REC
    Nice shuffle to the percussion.
    If there was any way you could make the synth more menacing, (Chrous and Amp Simulation immediately spring to mind), then that would be good. The higher bits sometimes detract from the main groove, IMHO.

    47.01 [electro]
    Needs more bass.
    Vocal samples are cool.

    50_03
    Great machine funk. Tighten this up and you're on to a winner.

    IP1_01
    Clubby Techno, with nicely wonky synth work. Would play this for sure.

    Machine Core
    Seems a bit lacking in percussion - but maybe that's the point?

    REC
    Wonky Techno! Yay.
    Could do with being tougher.

    All very promising Dan, you talented mofo.

    Cant disagree with any of that

    Probably going to have to layer a bigger kick into REC, most of the sounds are straight out of a drum machine.

    Had a bash at tightening this up. Just trying to work out a decent structure and find the right accompanying elements. At the moment it doesnt quite kick in how I want it to but its getter there

    ok im back on with this, sounds like the hats could sound better and mix should a little wider.

    This is quite an old post but ive only just found the cd with the tracks on it so .................

    No comments on the other tracks realy but The Electro track blew me away.
    Sounds so awesome on my system.
    Production is grand but more importantly the song is Dope as it gets, me and my GF were breaking and popping all over the place(well she was rubbish but I was like some awesome DESTROY ROBOT)
    anyhow great track, simple arrangement that realy works well, great sounds(love the vocals)and great rythms and production.
    One of my fave tracks of yours.
