Loopdon - Blowtorch [Techno]

[BloodStar]

just listening to last version. i like it, nice funky percussive track. as it goes, i am missing some moody atmo sounds, or soudscape so it makes it more outstanding track and not just another filler track. i mean, just another proper filler, hehe.

production seems to be fine, except the low mid hi bass area. there seems to be too much energy in compare to sub, and rest of sounds. personally, i would try to lower it down just a bit.
good work.

Thanks vlasta. Valid advice. I reckon i will have to get back to that tune then.

The comment 'good commercial techno' was SO uplifting to me, believe.

Cool I meant that as a compliment, there`s nowt wrong with a bit of well executed techno with some mass appeal.

I'm liking this actually, nothing overly complicated, everything sound crisp and clean, and it's got a real nice flow to it.

Good work Mr Don!!

:D

Dude, ashamed to say this is the first track I've heard from you. Will be on the case though from now on.

Great work! Suprised me to be honest. No idea what I was expecting from you, but this was class.

Chunky structured loops, well balanced mix, nice development in percussion and cool old school techy stabs. Really nice stuff man, I used to cane tracks like this and the "naples" theme def. rings true.

Would agree with the others generally, you def. need to develop the arrangement and progression. What you've is great, but you need a touch more in there to fill the track up. Maybe another element, funky bass, another Q&A stab thingie, maybe just more progression in the perc and synth pattern if you want to keep it simple. I loved everything you got going there, but it needed to either work harder, do more or have more elements in it I felt.

Cracking stuff though dude, and big apologies for the fact that I missed your others. Great to finally know what the legendary loopdon sound is!

Thankyou, mate! I must have ''overread'' this reply. I think what you said is absolutely valid. I reckon you don't know what kind words like these mean to me.

Arrangements don't come easy to me. For me the ''white noise breakdown'' was an achievement:roflmao:

The general consensus seems to be that i need to add more variation etc. And i agree. And i knew before even posting :lol: because it's always been like that. I have been inspired by ''simple'' techno and i reckon that will always show in my stuff. Because to me techno is about a certain amount of repititon. That's the stuff you pull out of your bag possibly years after the hits have long since faded. Just to explain where i am coming from.

I will try and incorporate the advice given in this thread in my further attempts.

Thanks mate, i had always wondered if you just didn't like my offerings at all.
