Prometheus - Protoneutro

8th Dec 2011 16:36 - 14 years ago
Description : Modern-style anthemic supersaw-trance with an enormous, punchy lead synth, epic moments and melodies to match!

Composed in Reason 4.0 and mastered in Audacity.

All the synths were built from scratch (no preset patches).

From Wikipedia:
"In Greek mythology, Prometheus (Greek, "forethought") is a Titan, the son of Iapetus and Themis, and brother to Atlas, Epimetheus and Menoetius. He was a champion of mankind, known for his wily intelligence, who stole fire from Zeus and gave it to mortals. Zeus then punished him for his crime by having him bound to a rock while a great eagle ate his liver every day only to have it grow back to be eaten again the next day."

Whoa.....

This is like - oh so good. I'm really surprised that I'm the first to comment on this even though it's been up for 2 months nearly?
Superb melodies and the mix is pretty darn good. Love the sound of the filters on the breakdown.

I can't offer you any *criticisms* per sé ... but rather, maybe just a few things that I would have done differently?

Firstly - I woulda turned the bass up on this a bit more. I can hear the kick thumping like it's supposed to, but anything below that is barely audible to me, but then again, I haven't heard this on a decent sound system.

Secondly - The main synth line, I'm going to call it the "pop corn synth", is present throughout the entire track - including the breakdown - and it creates a little bit of tedium, to my ears at least.. I would have maybe replaced it on the breakdowns for more pad like synths to give an "epic" sort of feel - if that makes sense at all?

and lastly - I probably would have introduced an additional lead at some point to compliment and counterpoint the popcorn synth - something solid sounding without any sort of gating or pop corny-ness lol.

But, that all having been said. Just listening to this one track of yours beats all of mine hands down, and you clearly know a lot more about the craft than I do.. so feel free to ignore me :)

Thanks for sharing dude! Great job...

Description : For sure my biggest Industrial rock project this year, and it's finally finished. Man, I had a whale of a good time producing this. If you like metal and energy, hopefully this hits home.
