Take Me Higher - Tenzi

1st Sep 2010 13:39 - 16 years ago
Description : This is my 2nd attempt at a track in Ableton Live8,

The main body of the drums, bass and synths are all my own programming, there are a few more loops in this track then I would normally use, but, the end results justify their inclusion I think. There is a small part of me that still considers it cheating a little lol :-) .... silly I know as most of today's popular and commercial music is all loop and sample based.

This track was written to be in the middle of a DJ set , you know the ones .. the tracks that you can never remember, yet they make the difference.

I'm quite pleased with it but yet again I think the sound engineering needs a few tweeks My sound set up is not the best and I find it difficult to get the width and depth I'm after! ( practice I suppose !! )

Would love to hear what you think and any tips or advise would be greatly appreciated. Tenz :-)

Hey Tenz

Nice track my friend, liking what you have used here, solid beat and bassline, good arrangement, nice vocal and synths, only thing on that I think you need to have a better lead intro to the piece, as it jumps right out at you, like a grad build up the track at the start,to me I would have put this one into the genre of Techno, as someone said to me when I first started here, Trance is a smoother sounding piece, harder tracks, are normally a Techno tracks, sometimes it is hard to pick the genre, personally I would have gone Techno with this one, but it is what you decide you want it to go in :) But as the other reviewer said, very grovvy energetic piece, just my thoughts my friend, as I said do like the track, thought would try and give you feedback, that is something that has helped me grow, getting feedback about things like what I have mentioned....adding this to favs as I do like what you have done so fars...Peace and respect mate....Estefano....

Thanks for the review Estafano.

totally take your point about the gradual build up to the track. When I wrote the track I kinda had the thought that it would fit into the middle of my Fledgling DJ set so therefore there didn't seem any reason to include a gradual build up as the track would have been mixed in with something similar.

As far as the genre goes, always get a little confused, its my age I guess LOL. But you are right, this harder sound would fit better into the techno genre.

Its always great to hear from mate, any comments are always gratefully received and I always take the comments with the helpfulness and kindness that they were intended.

have a great friday night

Awesome track you've made here, great energy! I love the dance-like groove you gave it with the bass. Excellent choice!

Thanks for the review Christofur. Having listened to your track 'Escape' your kind and encouraging words have more resonance as you obviously know what your'e doing.

Thanks Again

Description : I'm gonna file this under Drum and Bass due to the beats I used. Though it's probably not DnB in the strictest sense of the word, as it starts off with a Cinematic vibe till the beats kick in (apologies for that, as I don't have a vast knowledge of DnB!). Apart from the beats and a couple of other loops, all synth/bass parts are played by me using ThornCM, Poly Max and Z3ta+ vst's. Let me know what you think? All feedback is always appreciated. Thanks.

Description : Technology is a great thing. But I'm glad to know that if it ever fails ... or simply isn't there ... I can always play my guitar or drums, or just sing. In any case, the power didn't go out during this production ... so it's electric. And eclectic.
