Description : Decided to cap off this week's maximum upload count with a song I did last month.
This wasn't too well-received on my other site and has undergone a few edits, but I like it. Please let me know what you think, and let me know if the volume needs to be turned up.
Everything was made from scratch on my keyboard and done in Session. Distorted parts are intentionally distorted, so please don't tell me something sounds robotic; I almost called it "Robot Shark" but thought that was too hokey.
Enjoy!

sick breakdown ar 1:40ish, reminded me of daft punk in Tron. Like Derezzed or something. Maybe go for some drums in the intro or some sampling, maybe some cool vocals. I could probaly help you out if ya need something, or just try and go for a shorter, more fastly progressing intro.
Nice job man, keep it up

I need to make the drums thicker overall, but I purposely went for a more ominous intro. And yeah, I think I was listening to alot of "Tron: Legacy" soundtrack around the time I did this one.
Thanks for the review. Glad you liked it.

Techno Jawz! Yeah, I can hear a faint kick in this track. You might try setting your drums at a level of -5 or -6 db and then run it through a limiter. This should prevent the drums from clipping and also give it a bit of punchyness. If your are getting conflicts with the bass and the kick you can change the EQ levels on one or the other to offset the frequencies so that there is not an issue. Over all the composition and arrangement of this track sounds pretty good. The overall track volume level could be turned up some. You could even limit the master volume so that the track plays at a proper volume with out clipping. I know this is a lengthy review, but I hope it helps you to some degree. Good luck with this track. I'm looking forward to hearing a new update to this track.

Keep up the hard work!

This one...just keeps haunting me. I've messed with EQ, and I may again, but it's also messing with volume that screws me up. We'll see...for now, I'm working on new stuff and letting people enjoy the synths from this one.

The bass drum is coming through, but I think its being perceived as part of the baseline. Just like in my track, the bassline sounded more like a drum sound.

Maybe try panning the bass a bit to one side and the drums to the other.

I had a similar problem with a track of mine, but it was with the bass, not the drums. People kept saying how it needed a baseline and I kept replying, but it does.

I feel your pain :-)

Wait wait wait. Is the bass drum coming through? Because I did go minimal with the drums to begin with.

Lots of good stuff going on in this piece, my friend, its great as it is, but, I have to admit, I'm looking forward to the version with drums,

Aaaggghhh it has drums! I'll figure out how to bring it out. It used to be louder, but I didn't like the way everything else sounded, and now, for some reason, I'm just having a hard time balancing it.
Glad the song itself is good, though, drums notwithstanding.

The intro is a bit long to me, and I think it'll sound much better with some drums!

You have allot of synths, which are quite nice but they need something with them, be it drums or erm I don't know. They just sound abit alone haha..

Sorry if it wasn't a too positive review...

Eh, percussion is my weakness, especially when I'm playing from scratch, so "stronger percussion" really isn't too negative. I noticed the beat was quieter on this new version, but I was halfway into bed; I can tweak that later.

Some of my intros run long, yeah, and then sometimes I just don't really have one. They sometimes do that because not all my songs are about getting people on the floor, but are for just telling a story or creating an experience. (I was also listening to too much "Tron: Legacy" at the time...)

Glad you liked it otherwise.

P.S. I remember now. The kick kept putting the volume in the red, so I kept having to turn it down. What I think I'll do is turn down everything else and bring up the volume of the song in another DAW. Could've sworn I tried that, though, at some point...like I said, I've done multiple edits on this.

Description : A short minimal tech track that I made earlier this year. It's about understanding a wild animal's loneliness, fear, and pain. I would understand if they hated me, and for sure "Us." I hope it effects you. I released this on Soundcloud previously, but thought the Looperfam might get into it. You can get the new Spivkurl album "Charting The Anomaly," which includes this track at the We Are... Records Capitalist Market found here: http://www.wearerecords.com/capitalistmarket.html

Mysterious intro continued by a hypnotic yet very energetic trip through different techno productions. I have at least 2 more techno parts to add and a few more scary booby traps. All together a 3/4 more mins to stack behind it. After that i'll run through the piece again, finalize mixing, master it and upload incl. download. Any feedback is welcome! MMMMMMMH FRESH MEAT!
