Description : Hey everyone! This is my second attempt at a techno song to date. I got the idea playing pacman, beacuse its so awesome, and then i thought, why don't i do a remix of this song! So i set about learning and sequencing the main melody in Matrix, a analog sequencer utilising Subtractor, a polyphonic synthisizer which is based in Reason, adapted for Protools. Once i had made the cool melody, i then went about and got some drum loops from this site! I ended up using three drum loops (snare, bass beat, and breakbeat) and the pacman noise, the 'remix' voice and the explosion sound effect. I wrote, recorded, sequenced, panned, layered, mixed and mastered everything else myself after i had found the loops. Well sorry about the boring description but i couldn't think of anything else to write! tell us all what you think of my track, any improvments i can make, any ideas for anything else i can do, or simply just ANYTHING AT ALL! (reviews much appreicated) THANKS! -DjSomnium (Lorin)

very catchy, I cannot stand the matrix in reason, try out the thor and Arpeggiator, you cannot go wrong! Try putting scream on it and cranking the rez for a boss effect

I'm loving that bass, I don't like to use matrix in Reason though, unless I am Amp Gating a sound rhythmically. The clap could be a little louder too. Around 1:20 or so those pads that come in are a bit louder than everything else, drowning them out a bit in my opinion.

Great track!

ahh ok, i quite like matrix, but i mean thats the only sequencer i have seeing as i only have a small adapted version of reason.I would like another more advanced one that would be good.
And yes, the pads are a little loud, but i guess they still sound ok though, it seemed like everyone else liked it i think.
And ill make the clap louder yeah :)
thanks for ur comments!

This is an awesome track. I can see myself to this in a club, with pacman on the video screen. Great piece of work. How long did it take for you to create? I added this to my favs, thanks for sharing

A very catchy tune. I get images of the little pacman doing a kind of robotic dance to your track. Do you know anyone who could make such a video for this track? I think you could do a whole album and videos of this stuff. Great track.

Hi ya Lorin,

Thought I'd stop by and see what you had up and I see this as a featured tune.

I think you did an outstanding job on this tune. Capturing all the essence of Pacman sounds and a good feel.

I like this tune a lot and you did a great job of piecing the loops together.
Thanks for sharing it with us,

Randy

Hey dude, thanks for the review! And the awnser is yes, it probably is your loop! i downloaded like 150+ loops from this site a while ago, but i only just realised that there were no names on the loops etc when i came around to using them. So, im sorry for not mentioning you in this!!

Cramps... You read my mind man. OMG, this is so crazy. A week ago I was watching Club Dread and that maze scene came on- with this track. And I got to thinking about how cool it would be to remix this track. Kinda hinted at doing a collab mix with Splish though I dunno if I ever talked with him about it in one of the few messages I've sent him recently. Looks like ya beat me/us to the punch.

As for the track, this is so cool. Man, I'm floored. I love the whooshy-like effects ya used and that drum build was cool. The bass is nice and juicy too. The only thing detracting from this one is it's short length. Please, plz, plz say that you'll make a longer mix of this? I could maybe try if you'd like. I'm thinkin like 5-8 minutes, somewhere around there. Lemme know, cool!? Anyways, massive props for doin this one (though not for reading my mind, haha, jk). Lates!

Haha, wow !! well, that i was not expecting!! i guess great minds think alike right? well i also heard that fools think the same, hope its not that one :) As i was making this track i was accually thinking, wow i think this is way too long and everyone is going to be bored by the end! but i guess not right? and now that youv'e said that, of course i will make it longer!! I will need to think what i can add in to keep vareity and to keep everyone listening. Maybe send me some ideas as to what to add in to make this longer? Perhaps even, if you would like, you could download this track, and think about extending/remixing it?? send me a message tell us what you think. thanks! -Lorin xD (Btw, there are also a few pacman remixes online and on youtube etc so you might wanna check there for some more inspiration?)

automation skills are sick in this! i see you have put in some effort, because it is filled with heaps of varied melodies! i think you've done it some justice seeing it's only your 2nd attempt at this genre!

well done Lorin!
keep this up, sounds like you had a lot of fun with this 1

PEACE!

Description : Mindway and The Monzder Squadd go together like peanut butter and jelly man. This is our 4th or 5th collab, I think, but for this one, Pnnywze wanted to blend his and Mindway's production styles and see what happens. This is what happens.

NOTE - Shared this one yesterday before I realized that Rob Fame's verse at the end was messed up. So I'm sharing it with Rob's part cut out until my brother fixes it tomorrow.

Description : This is hardcore hip hop. Very Dr DRE, Lil Uzi Vert, Nicki Minaj style with a euro dance vibe /feel and with a hip hop beat. Lot's of bass in the track too. Hope you enjoy my new rap track. I have edited the previous track since I am allowed only 1 upload per day here. This is the final mastered version. The previous version had mastering problems which I have adjusted here.
