Hiya Dan,

First of all, the drums sound a bit thin and dry. maybe use a longer, subby kik, a bit less tinny. Also, some delay on the hats should give it a bit more movement.

I'd also personally add an LFO on the filter of your main synth/bassline, again to give the track some more movement and groove. it does sound a little flat at the moment.

I remember that slow track you made a while ago, that was f:ucking brilliant mate. If you can try and get into the same zone as you did with that one, you're definately moving in the right direction...

cheers matey, agreed- the drums are just kind of biding their time a bit. im gonna try and rough them up a bit, i might change the snare to something a bit chunkier.

LFO on the bass line is a good idea me thinks too, my problem is when i start messing with the LFO i go waaaay over board :lol:

I think something in the mid might give it more movement, a funky bongo type perc. i messed around with toms, but i really cannot stand toms!

Cheers for the feedback mate, im all over it!!! :-)

On the dl now Danny mate.....will have to listen later as my computer is currently spazzing out.

[DannyBlack]

haha i know the feeling. There is a f*ck load to do on it yet man, edits, effects a break- some break beats... this is a very rough cut so far.

Hi Dan, i would remake the kick-bassline to make it more powerful and differ a little HIs and give it more flow. im not good in giving advices ;/ anyway keep fingers on beats mate cheers

[DannyBlack]

I hear you man, the kick sounds like a ball being bounced :lol: I'm scrapping this tune. I started to re do and came up with something better. cheers for the listen.

Im in work now so ill give feedback when i get home,
Just ur statement there about toms.....


Dont under estimate the power of the toms.

I personally have been tryin to improve and I suppose learn the sounds and concepts of different percussion sounds, Toms are sweet man and give u a great driving sound among other things ....
Ill send you a sample of sumtin im working on with toms init and ull see wat i mean. Im goin to play around more with the track before i post up here.

P.S. Gizza a go of ur clunge will ya!

tight track man. loving the synth work. cant wait for the end result .

[DannyBlack]

Cheers man but im kicking that track now. The laptop finally died 100% 2 nights ago. Hard drive is f*cked. I purposefuly didn't back anything up. New machine, new beats and all that.
Cheers for the feedback folks! I will be back with more :-)

I have a terrabyte HD on the way from one of the lads in work. The laptop was a hardy machine for the grief I gave it, not hardy enough.

Hi Danny,

I'm new here and your track is the first one I've listened to.

There's some really nice synth work there, real old school (very early 90s) sounds - I'm definitely feeling those. I thought the arrangement was pretty good. Drum programming was fine but I wasn't keen on the kick sound and some of the percusion parts were maybe a bit too light also.

As a WIP this had some real potential I think, it's a shame you lost it man.

[DannyBlack]

Cheers beep mate. I like the synths in this track but on the whole I kinda hate it. it just doesn't sit right with me.
I have kept the synth patterns and all so I will use it again im sure.
