Uh huh, loving this one, mister... great atmosphere @ the beginning , great tone to that snare drum, reminds me of early neurofunk artists like stakka and skynet... check em out if you don't know their work... this is the first D and B tune to get under my skin in a while ... for that I salute you..

Have not attempted a collab for quite some time-- I'm not even sure how it would work long distance either

intro is great. Nice drop to the beat. Reminds me of an Optical tune. Love the bass manipulations and shuffle between beats. I was hoping for a couple more breaks into a more twisted bass layer added on towards the end but its a solid track other than that.
Big ups Bro!

My plan when making the track was to avoid complex basslines and focus more on the percussion and track structure, thus no twisted bass layer.

Glad you found the track enjoyable, though. :3

Excellent quality, dig the monologue and the smooth lead into the precariously ominous beat and sounds. Cheers - DF

Yeah man, go for your life. As long as I get credit for the tune, I don't mind how it is used. It's not like I'm charging money. :p

Glad you enjoyed it this much.

Hey, the track has a big potential, cool bass and synth work! IMO everything has too much reverberation, kick and snare are blurred and placed somewhere far away from the listener (unlike hats)
Verge
Verge replied Unknown
It seems somewhere along the line I always get something wrong. And for the life of me I can never tell whether or not the snare is far enough forward in the mix.

What I need is a completely accurate audio to visual instrument placer that does most of my job for me. :p

This is gold m8.

sounds are trancing.
All ur Sounds come outta Massive?
or u using a soft synth to make these?

dam good production.

id tell u to keep on bangin at em,
but i dont think its necessary
=]
Verge
Verge replied Unknown
I use Massive for a lot of my sounds, but not all of them. The pads in this track were created in FM8, and the sub is just plain ol' 3xOsc. All of which are soft synths.

Thanks for listening. :3

some nice ideas here brother well executed.. this is more the quality i expect from your good self.. great production.. that bass is just sick... what did you use? I would how ever ay that after a while it got a LITTLE (i mean super little) samey .. maybe you could add in a few more drops.. just a thought.. and thats me being picky... once again great track.. nice to see ya back to your best... keep 'em coming brother
Verge
Verge replied Unknown
I used NI's Massive synth, almost a simple Sawtooth reese with compression and put through a Bandpass filter. Layered with a sub, but that much is obvious. :p

Glad to hear I'm making easily listenable music again, instead of that one randomly low quality piece of work the other week, haha. Also glad you liked it. :D

This is quite cool, and an out of the ordinary style of DnB. Very cool intro! I find myself drawn to the melodies especially, they kind of remind me of something from a New Order song. (Just can't remember which song) Maybe it could use a little work on the drums, like people have said, but I think it's pretty good as is. That bass really grooves in my opinion, it rockin! Nice one!

yeah nice track i like it and here is the but. your drum loops are fine but you need to inhance your kick and snares cos the bass overpowers it and it makes it sound low i noticed you are useing a reversed snare right try an change that snare to something more powerful because like i say in every review the drum loops need to compliment the bass and whole tune its what defines your tune but i like it though just very minor problems i like the beggining and bass and melodies but i loose teack when the drum beats kick in but keep it up and well done mate check my latest tune called

syntholigy it is a very powerful dnb track to which ahs clear drums and clear bass and melodies you will like it any hows peace

u just gotta love Dnb, u know, with ur intro, my musical mind was thinking of a different tempo, and then as the real anticipated tempo came in i was like ohw, why did i not consider that too?
nice one u have here, i sometimes listen to dnb and even make some. urs here is kool to listen to. keep em coming

lol just reading your reply to the review... keep your head up bud... it already sounds good and its a credit to your ability to produce music at this point. now moving forward you just need to fix some minor stuff... dont stress it. youll get it
Verge
Verge replied Unknown
Haha, yeah, I know I'll get it eventually. Otherwise I'd have give up at the start and never gotten this far. :p It's been a long journey, but it has been fun.

I'll just be soooo very happy when I can produce at the level of a professional. :D

Sounds great. But there are parts where the sub doesn't seem to match the bass and they clash. The snare doesn't have enough attack and is too dull.

I usually make neurofunk, so for my subbass I filter out the high frequencies of my middbass which then I compress it. I also may add a little tape distortion to warm things up a bit.
For my snares I usually layer around 3 different types: metal snare, a noise based snare, and a snare that has the attack. I also have a pulgin called SPL Attacker which can add attack to your snares. I got it free during the promotion but now you have to pay for it.

Listen to my track "Unfathomable Depths for an example of my sound.
Verge
Verge replied Unknown
Every time I tried to match the sub to the bass, it sounded weirder than it does now. o.o Perhaps it's just my poor setup. Will have to fix that one.

As for the snare, I haven't touched the attack on it. :X It might be just the samples I'm using, but if you know how to fix it I'd love to hear. Always seem to have trouble with underpowered snares. D:

---

Well, I found SPL attacker, and I gotta say, that thing will help me loooooads.

But I still can't get this sub working. If I move it from the notes it plays at now (which are about a half octave higher than the bass), then it becomes weak, and any attempts to make it sound as it does now overpowers the rest of the mix.

I have it low passed at about 80 or 90Hz, and everything else high passed at 90 or higher. I've just got no clue how to climb this obstacle.

Music production is tough. D:

mate your track sound ok but i would make you drums louder plus i dident feel a build up it kinda sounds very hollow maybe you should put a few more samples in there but apart from that you have a good structure of a tune but you need to nurture it a little but any hows well done yeah

check out one of my tune its called dark divided if you get time

some nice ideas here brother..I can see where you where going with it but as has been said before in your other reviews it's a little bit mono tone and nothing really happens until well over 4 mins in.. the drum sounds are well produced with need some layering to give you the definition of the kick and snare.. as the other reviews have also said there is a serious lackage of sub here which would again give you definition... quite unlike you brother.. nevermind.. keep 'em coming
Verge
Verge replied Unknown
Yeah, I don't really know what happened with the sub in this one. It all sounded fine until I heard it afterwards. o.o

Will eventually upload the fixed version. Maybe. Sometime... >>

I listened 1st then read the reviews u already had and Nick is spot on. The basis of a good track is in there but it sounds kinda hollow at the minute and needs beefed up and filled out.

Typed as I listen.

Intro is strong; I like the cymbal that keeps beat. Phasers are pretty solid, but it is a bit slow to start. I'm guessing it will pick up soon.

Build with the cymbal ring into a drop fits well, although the sound seems a bit emptier than I expected it to. Once the tempo doubles up the first time, I'm getting ready to go, but the sound still seems a bit slower than I expect.

It continues building nicely through the faster drum pattern expositions. The cymbal that's used before you go into the next section is great for adding to a build. The changed drums at ~1:50 work pretty well, and the volume of the background noises fits.

The high pitched sample at 2:45ish is great, it has me ready to take off with the song. I like the changes to the background noise; i'm not sure if it's a filter or a melody change, but it sounds good.

The slow down at 3:15 is a bit abrupt. It could use a large noise with a lot of reverb or something similar to bring it down more evenly. Unless you're opening up a DJ to bring in their own sounds by playing on the cross fader, the song might need something else to carry through this section.

At 4:30, the beeping type sound is a good way to bring it back; I like it.

I've been waiting for the drums to really take off. At around 5:00, it's still a bit less drum and bass-y than I expected. It might be my setup, but I'm still noticing the bass is somewhat empty.

The song kind of drags toward the end. I think it needs something else to tie it together for it to really feel complete to me.

Thanks for sharing. I hope this "this is what I was thinking while listening to your track" was useful. If not, ignore the parts that suck and take the parts that don't. Thanks for sharing.

Very useful, actually. I went back and fixed up most of what you have said here, but I've also been slack in updating the track. Waiting for that upload to finish is always a killer for me. :p

I did manage to upload a new track though, which also took your review into consideration. If you have time, I'd love for you to give that one a listen so I could get some more criticism from you. :D
