Thanks a lot man, I was accually thinking about metallica/guns and roses style when i was working on this song. I dont really have much idea what to do with the end though. Any ideas? I could make a sort of breakbeat thing at the end or something im not 100% sure yet!

dude...... awesome!

killa riff, and placed in a great soundscape!
loving your acoustic skills man! this is pure ;)

you know what! id love to get a few lil git riffs from you and build a tune around them! if your interested hit me up anytime :)
if you could play and record anything melodic downtempo that would be tops! if ya cant atm no worries!

all in all, this was a brilliant tune!

Cheers

Definatly! Ill work on perfecting some loops in the future, put em out for everyone to use! I could imagine making a chilloutmix, or some sort of house tune with some. Just gotta work out what kinda loops i should make...

fully sick intro!

if this is your first techno tune, i must applaud you. because my friend this is some awesome shizzzz!

you must have a good ear, and a good producer mindset! you have just enough variety in here to prevent any discomfort for the listener!

you know what i reckon! i reckon this tune could be made into an awesome downtempo progressive tune! you could keep the intro and work around that to make a sweet rolling tune!

nevertheless this is a great effort!

PEACE!

Thanks heaps man! thats awesome!! Yeah I thought the intro might of been a bit long but I guess it might be ok. I originally set out ot make it more of a hardstyle tune, hence the loud-ass bass drum, but i never really thought about doing a downtempo version? I could imagine playing something like this which people could dance or shuffle to lol. But yeah im not that great at the moment at doing the whole breakbeat/house/acid styles but I will try and experiment, and let you know!

man this is great! that guitar sounds just perfect!
the easy, mellow, soothing git riff really does it for me!

all the other sounds went quite well together! a good blend of instruments! just a lil tip i'll throw in, if you want to get that authentic instrument sound, id strongly suggest using some good quality soundfonts! because these good soundfonts are just recorded real instruments! i use them a lot!

i think the instruments in there were very nice though! beautiful bells also. top tune. i really enjoyed this one :)

PEACE!

Thanks bro, I'll look up those soundfonts, where do you get them or whatever? Everything on this track was just my playins a once-over recording onguitar but I could really do with samples, especially for more electro tracks.

It grow. I like the odd sounding harp (?) thing ya got plunkin away every now and then. The guitar melody on this is outstanding. And because of the occasional buzz from not hitting the fret exactly dead on I know ya recorded/played this live. And I'm guessing you had been playing for a while in tha case (where your hands/fingers getting tired/numb?). Small request, could ya add some percs to this (like bongo or tamborine)? Lates!

nice thanks for the review! yeah i was playing live on this 8 track i have at home. Its a pretty cool riff that i made up and then i just made the rest to go along with it!and yeah i got pretty tired like half way through but yeah. thanks!

There's this crackling sound I'm getting as this plays. Dunno if it's the player, the tracks bitrate, or if it was some effect to make it sound older (like on vinyl). Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Anyways, the strings are kinda taking me back to old RPG games (like Zelda or Dragon Warrior). The basses sound fine on my system (shrugs). Lovin the bells and would love to hear more of the Guitar. Besides the crackle I enjoyed this. Later on!

DjSomnium replied Unknown
Thanks for the review! When i first uploaded the song it was fine but now for some reason there is that crackling noise which is pretty annoying! And yeah i loved zelda and dragon warrior on gameboy they were probably my favourite games!! but i wasnt really thinking of that when i made this one but i guess i see it now u say it! *** UPDATE- Changed bitrate to reccomended and now its fine :D :D thanks for pointing it out!**

pretty cool. sounds like u messed up a couple of times on the tempo of the guitar but its still cool cause you pick it up again. i really liked the backround too. its a very balanced quiet track.
DjSomnium
DjSomnium replied Unknown
yeah lol i did slip up a few times. I recorded it on this hard-disc 8 track that i had at home though. No protools visual editing or anything like that!

I liked it. I think it would make a cut for a movie scene. Especially for the fact that there aren't any drums in it, it just makes for a great ambience and mood. Nicely done.

DjSomnium replied Unknown
nice review thanks! yeah there was plenty of reverb which makes it nice and ambient. i guess it would go nicley with a movie thankz!

Love the transitions good job I enjoyed it pretty hard on the bass thou maybe just my system Im running subs at 0 level natural for your recording.Good work...Rockingchair
DjSomnium
DjSomnium replied Unknown
Yeah, the low end is way up for some reason. which is ok if you have an average sound system. if you have subs then it will be probably too high!! anyways thanks for the review!

Nice work man, I really like the change up at like 2:00, very nice...the synth is mad hooky, very catchy and it all sounds really good man. Excellent work! Upload some more I'd like to check em out! peace.

DjSomnium replied Unknown
Thanks dude! The synth was just a protools plugin called Xpand! but it has some awsome sounding synth leads.

Good Techno track I liked it a lot, I would not change anything about it at all. Apart from what has already been mentioned about volume.

Great track there but as already said turn down your levels. I heard one of my drum loops near the end. Check out mt tracks they are great! Feel free to use any other loops of mine.
DjSomnium
DjSomnium replied Unknown
Thanks heaps man. Which drum loop was it that i used? I think it was the one towards the end, when the lead changes to a digital sound. Thanks for that it is a great loop and it helped me add vareity! I'll definatly check out more of your tracks.

I love the synth on this track, it's just plain awesome, The beat is good too, follows the techno genre.
DjSomnium
DjSomnium replied Unknown
Thanks. i tried to keep the synth leads really simple to complement the bass which i think's pretty important.

I really like this track! You definitely captured the hardcore sound. Of the few suggestions I could offer, Turn the master volume down, I had my monitors at a low level and I still had to turn it down. I noticed distortion at around the 30 sec mark and at around 1:40. Great crisp tones though! Sounds good and clean apart from the volume issue. This has kinda made me want to make a hard trance track now.

DjSomnium replied Unknown
Thanks djen, i was trying to make it as hardstyle as possible. Well i added a master fader and turned the whole thing down a lot so it shouldn't be an issue any more. thankz!!
