Description : This track wanders the genres of Electro, House and Rave.
High energy track that strained my computer in the final recording. I started with some House drum loops and cut off the end beats, then added bass trimming and stretching the last notes on every second one. I did the same with the main piano loop, added two more piano loops, then added pads, leads and stabs. There is a vox loop that I think sounds good and finally the vocals that seemed to fit nicely in the spaces I provided with the beat cut offs. I had tried to use these vocals in a previous track, but were lost in the volume of the beats.

Play 2 now...

This mix is kinda remindin me of early Moby mixed with Orbital & 2-Unlimited or something. Quick question, did ya record this live? Because it seems to have that quality/feel to it. Really cool usage of mini-riffs and different sequences, makes the song fun and interesting.
On the tech-side ya might wanna consider fading-under the main voc-sams (as they seem a bit too crisp compared to the overall mix). Or maybe add some effects on 'em to get that faded sound (Stadium Reverb, for example). Also, there seems to be some clipping going on at the higher vols (so some slight remastering might be in order). Beyond that this is a pretty solid composition. Cheers!

All my work so far has been done in Cubase and mostly loops or chopped parts of loops, however sometimes I use individual notes or hits (mostly beats) that I set myself. I am about to do somew more "live" style work with Ableton and I also have a drum and bass machine and a keyboard......stay tuned
thanks for your review and advice...I think I will play with the vocals a bit further

I really like the track but the vocals seem distant from the backing track. I would bring the vocals back a bit if I were you so that is more part of the mix.

Other than that, this baby rocks :-)

Wow this is awesome! I love the chilled out party vibe! Great arrangement on the vocals, they really make this piece flow! Excellent mixing on this one, it's strong without being "in your face". I like the rave elements, they make it fun! Really nice work!

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.
