nice. downloadin now. will coment in a bit.

**ORIS** · 10-07-2007, 07:30 PM

nice m8, my only gripe is that im not likeing that synth at all, sounds like the logon sound for windows, but thats just my personal prefrence.

apart from that mate i really like the tune, nice atmosphere, sweet hats, and a phat little bassline. goood shit.

**thomas_figo** · 10-07-2007, 08:32 PM

realy good hi's and kick. everything works well together i reckon. im only not into that main theme mate.would replace it for something harder.
nice one mate anyway.

**Siege** · 10-07-2007, 09:14 PM

Cheers Oris..Brad...Thomas...
getting mixed opinions on the riff -hook and the synth...some are not liking as uve said and some are. Need some more opinions b4 i decide whether to lose em or keep em.

keep em coming please!!

**p_brane** · 10-07-2007, 09:58 PM

not sure about the windows synth as oris said. but the theme is cool man. maybe just change the sound on that riff. i'd probably go for some thing a little sharper to contrast the other melodic components

tune is nice though. quality production on those drums.

and now you'll be thinking "decisions, decisions" ;)

**BRADLEE** · 10-07-2007, 08:29 PM

I think really nice tune overall. Sound reminds me quite much of Dan (the divide) like mad. I think you could just use some more intelligent edits to keep it moving slightly more. But really nice tune.

**detfella** · 10-07-2007, 11:18 PM

nice interesting drum/perc workout. like the synth sound, maybe add a detuned osc with it to phatten it up, make it sound a little ruffer round the edges.

great tune, great production.

my only gripe is that once the synths come in it starts to lose the initial energy that was there at the start.

i quite like the windows synth.. i'd maybe bitcrush it a little though.

**MARK ANXIOUS** · 12-07-2007, 05:02 PM

i like the track alot but i think the synth is too loud by a few db. or perhaps a little too much around its low end. if it was knocked back the track would roll better i think and you'd hear the rest of it better. have a go and see what happens.

**Siege** · 12-07-2007, 06:03 PM

Hey thanx lads..im glad u like...thought i was on my own for a while there.
Il work on a few edits for it....gonna look into the volume and bottom on the synth like mark mentioned.
il try crushing it a little to baz...see how it sounds.

thanx again guys...appreciate a lot
cheers

**Mindful** · 12-07-2007, 07:18 PM

This is sounding much better now Vino.
You gotta keep the synth. I would like to hear the other that plays lower down featured more.
I think if the synths faded up rather than just came in then that would solve the problem as much as turning the volume down would.
But you know me mate I like introducing my elements like this.

Theres deffo more of a theme now then when I first heard it and it develops well I think.
Personaly I like it without edits.To me it gives it a more cosy vibe(does that make sense?)

Production wise im on shitty pc spks but I know what yr production is like(and its pretty consitant)
Ill check it at home.

**Siege** · 12-07-2007, 09:17 PM

Thanx mukka
yeah the synths staying put.....dropped the volume on it a touch,and it does sound better...cheers mark.
just putting a couple of edits in now, subtle though.

**Alphajuno** · 13-07-2007, 11:07 AM

Dead link :(

**Siege** · 13-07-2007, 12:15 PM

Theres a new link further down the page mate.

**dirty_bass** · 13-07-2007, 03:03 PM

right mate, just saw that link you mailed me.
Yeah, digging this.

Leave all the synths as they are, it`s your taste you need to please, if you put it up for public opinion you`ll just end up with a compromise that isn`t you.

Production wise the low end all sits nicely.
A touch too muddy in the low mids/high bass though. Could do with some more clinical subtractive EQ in this area.
I`d say the top end could do with a little more sparkle, and a touch of verb to give it more presence too, maybe it`s also a little thin, but that may be because there`s a big gap below your main hats. Maybe tweak the other toppy sounds a little to fill this up.
I`d drop the level of that main bell/piano synth just a touch as it dominates the mix just a little too much.

The mix has a nice warmth to it which is good.

Nice and chunky, kinda reminds me of early mankind kinda sound. Deep and techy, nice, don`t hear much of this kinda stuff any more.
