Description : So this is a remake of the first track I ever made electronically called Without Honor.
I gave it a relisten recently and was fairly unimpressed with myself so here's me trying to give it a total reworking.

I call it dub, but if you stick around long enough it won't stay that way.

As always the biggest thing this track needs is some serious mastering... Still working on an itouch, so it's a bit difficult, especially with only a pair of headphones to run it through. If you can offer SPECIFIC advice as to what levels need tweaking that would be fantastic.

Thanx as always

Hey matey

Liking this piece, nice beat and good use of percussion, only little thing for me was the intro is little slow and flat but when rest of tracks in it is really great, has a nice light refreshing sound your mix, clarity of the mix in whole is good, liking the synths you used, also thought I heard a couple of midi files working well in the mix...Good listen, thank you for sharing your tune...Peace n Respect...Estefano...

Thanks for the review! I guess I only consider it partially a dub track, but I like the idea about the minimal breakdown with some delay. I'll see with my Iphone, but I might have to wait until I get a better DAW... Right now I can only have 16 layers, and adding effects for only one part is a bit of a chore... Beatmaker is sorta designed for live production so sometimes that kinda stuff is hard. Glad you like the bass sound! I used an iphone app called Bassline, which is a pretty solid VSTI. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks... Even giving this one a relisten I realize it's very deserving of it's "version 1" title and needs some rearranging to make it pop. Glad you like though, gives me a reason to keep at it.

Yeah this is really chill Thanx, I like how you handled that perc, I think its a bit sluggy at times, but it grooves along. Its really constant, but I dig those little oreintal touches alot.
Whoaaa now it steps up haha, gets moving. Im liking this L:
Yeah this is fresh, I think it could have maybe moved up to this a bit quicker, like 4 or 8 bars quicker possibly.
But yeah that perc is fun, very rhythmic, nice concise ending.
Enjoyed it :)
Im assuming youll continue this adventure of refining this track lol, quite the evolutional project.

sorry bout the long response, Great feedback. I'll totally move that change up a little sooner. I also kinda like where it picks up better too. I'm curious about what you mean by the "sluggy" sound. Like the BD I use? I'm definitely gonna use your suggestion... And if there's any chance I can still remix that track of yours I'd love to do so... I also wanna use that cello loop in another song if that's alright.

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.
