WORKS-IN-PROGRESS for OCTOBER, 2010

[Thebender]

Alright ima post mine in later tonight but i wanna review theese..

Ogunslinger_ You have kept it simple and thats a good thing. the man synth kinda sounds a lil raw and need to be more lively with maybe a little bit of dist. or raverb and effects. i can see your music growing into something clean and solid.
JakieAtron_Shits sounding evil and has nice vibes to keep u in the mindset... mixdown sounding solid
Dlog_ Damn bro that shit is sounding really killer. liking the arp and that piano sounds big .. nice ..

[DLOGREZYRB]

@ogunslinger lmfao Ups!

@LordBid No need to weaken the blow mate. We are all hear to learn from one another and take in much needed feedback whether it be bad or good. I appreciate the two cents, Ill do my best to produce a cleaner full version ASAP!

@ a.paul
Drop was so dope! Literally jaw dropping. However the snares were kinda lame, like it sounded good but they need some shuffle or detiming or something cause it killed an otherwise phenomanal groove you had going. some hats would be nice too, and i would avoid useing the same snare pattern that much. Sitar fit in nicely too i liked that alot.
New tune I've been working on, I think it has a ton of potential I'm just having trouble realizing it. No mastering or anything like that haven't really gotten that far yet:

Would appreciate any kinda feedback. Peace

@TheBender: Not really my cup of tea, but not bad. Gets a little messy around the low ends, you should high pass those techy sounds or make space in your sub for them to cut through.

@DLOGREZYRB: I really like this but as other have said its a little messy, theres some collision going on, I would high pass the lead and re-write the bassline and add some more hats

@a.paul: Im a big fan of the darker more minimal beats so this is really my sort of thing, and I have say its sounding wicked, everything is working really well together, love the sub, love the sitar (although it came in a bit loud) cant wait to see where this is going.

Here's my latest effort for you lot to tear apart...

(its a little quiet)
Thanks for the feedback

[a.paul]

@ibscotty thanks for the feedback! really loving the minimal side of the tune. love the bass work, and percussion really stands out.

@rightontime27 love the build up and drop. really different tune. id maybe turn the kick up at the drop to add some "umph" if thats how you spell it. love it though, cant wait to hear more and thanks for the feedback.

made some changes, turned sitar down abit. added hats at the drop, changed snare and stuff. let me know if you think it fits better? and does the sub sound okay, unsure about it.
cheers and thanks again.

I got missed out and i gave feedback aswell
would rather be told my song is shit than no feedback at all so please check my track in my sig.

[ibscotty]

@jak-a-tron: Reminds me a lot of metal mouth by skream, which is no bad thing. Dirty sound, need a bit of variation imo, perhaps a mix down in the break would do it.

@a.paul: I think the sub sounds good so far but you should try to change it up a bit over the next few bars. Have you compressed it at all? Try splitting it into mid/low and compressing the low while sidechaining to your kick.

@Jak -a-tron @ I really liked you track actually I agree with the other guy's statement I think more of a change in the breakdown is what this track needs to break up its flow. It sounds very old-school skreamish for sure. Great track will love to hear the final version

have a butchers and let me know peoples' been working on this one for a few hours!

[UnitedFruits]

@ jak-a-tron - Liking the sound Definitely needs some variation in my opinion! Liking the drum sounds too.

@ibscotty - Quite dark but a bit repetitive maybe? more variation on the lead? Have you tried playing in via a midi keyboard or even just the computer keyboard, I find it really helps when coming up with a melody or even if you have some kind of instrument you know well enough jam around and then transposes it onto the midi notes.

Not to say my feedback is worth shit, but it's all just an opinion

This needs a lot of work still but I'm liking the second drop ideas?!

Cheers

[xstrizle]

hey let me know what you think of this so far any feed back would be appreciated

Soundcloud

[narrator]

@jak-a-tron - very nice indeed. i think you could probably strip it down to the sub and drums with the odd efx sound for around four bars in the middle coming out with the sound from the intro maybe then just drop straight back in, just an idea that jumps into my head when i first heard it.. nice work though..

@DLOGREZYRB - Really liking this number. has a nice dark energy off it. nice tone to the track overall. i think there's a bit of clipping on some of the vocal samples though, nothing you couldnt fix. keep at it.

here's something i'm working on at the moment, not sure how far to go with it. have it kind of locked into my head where anything i do sounds a bit odd.
let me know some of yer thoughts

cheers.

no title but been working on this for bout 30 mins or so id really like some words on it and of course ill return the favor

[blazinaidan]

@tripwire: niice. 30 mins?! i can never get anything to sound this nice after a mere half an hour, i commend you for that sir, haha. like the idea alot, but not sure where id take it. only input i have at the moment is maybe pump up the bass a tad, and to not get grimey with it haha.

[tripwire22]

thanks mate i tend to work fast if i can get a good start

[blazinaidan]

everyone skipped me lol

Soundcloud

i feel ya man, the skippage sucks. anywho ya i just commented on your soundcloud. i think this track would be sick if the synth was leaning more toward the zomby "gloop" bass sound, ya know? and more interesting drums like someone before me said, that'd help alot. maybe some high end synth too.
