hey Gramo,

this is a very cool combination. I won't say it's my preffered territory combination but it's a very cool one - safe to say.

best to you, a.

Thanks. To be honest at this point I can't really stop from combining a variety of sounds. The pads and the beginning samples are dnb samples, drums are obviously trap influenced, cinematic with classical elements included. Maybe a bit of ambience. Hell, I know it's quite the combo. lol Cool is always the goal too haha Stay cool Promenade. Thanks again. peace

Dude I would love to try to do something with that melody! I love it so much. Could you send me the midi possibly through email?? I would REALLY love to make something awesome with it. I would love to get the pluck midi, and the piano/pad chord midi as well. My thing is tropical house, so this would be perfect for me!

Thanks so much and I hope we can work together! My email is enrico.ludwick@gmail.com

Thanks man! And yea we can do that, I'm actually collabing with Promenade on this track too. But I'm cool with two versions. If you're serious that is. I'll message you today or tomorrow. P.S. I wouldn't put you're email on display like that, you don't know whose watching and what type of scams or trolls could pop up in your inbox. Talk to you soon, glad you like it. peace

Hey friend

Mate you are right it does have a nice chill out vibe about this one, liking this track only thing to me, something does not sound right with the piano/arp? at the 40 second mark, to me it sounds like it is in the wrong key, everything else flows and sounds right from this end, just that one element, seems to throw things out sound wise, everything else good...Peace n Respect...Mosaic...

This is brilliant work Gramochopin/Neobane/Inspsycle :)
You definitely took your time with this.

Oh that reverb really lifted the track.
Goods vocal samples at 4 minutes too.
The various segments tells the story of the sojouner on his quest for the truth and in the end i hope he found it!

Thanks Billy. Glad you like it. Though...you didn't have to refer to me by all my aliases LOL You'd be surprised how many aliases I truly have. This track was a personal journey for me and also to warm up for my Mecha project. Brother, I'm going to knock this one out the park. Just want to take my time with it and make sure everything is serene and top notch. peace

diggin the piano sound? really? so try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHZMHBzXnGc
everything is perfect about your track - fixing the false notes afterwards is just only an another crazy idea. forget it - be yourself!

The piano loops is definitely beautiful. Same for the synth pads that fill the space behind it. However, the synth arpeggiator(is that the right term?) that comes in at the :30 mark is in the wrong key! :( Shifting it down half a note will fix this problem. There are some clashing notes, yes, but it's not something that can't be fixed!

Cheers,

Hey Neo, I'm no expert on rave, but I do have a pretty good ear for quality music and this is really well done. There is an awful lot going on, but you manage to weave it all together skillfully. I liked that change at the 2:00 mark as well...a "happier" feeling through that section, not quite as dark.

I can tell you all of the crazies in Las Vegas would be jumping away to this one. Well done my friend. Mix is special as well.

Happy holidays Neo to you and your family. Here's to a great 2015. I hope all is well.

Well...I hope it sounds good to you SB. I only deal with truth and honesty but it seems like your being honest. Especially with your past reviews. And I'm no expert at rave either, I just love music. Interesting fact about my productions, I rarely ever create by traditional standards. Meaning, I kind of just do my own thing. But of course I still try to implement essential elements with different types of music. Like the constant kick drum hit in a track like this. Or the slower bpm of hip hop. Or the fast pace and roll to a dnb track. Anyways, I keep blabbing on. Really appreciate the listen and feedback. Happy holidays and happy new years to you too! peace

on Moon Cave Rave by GramoChopin
:) Ok Neo, befor you get me wrong

I think it is a cool track. Makes me start dreaming or chilling - something like that.
It is good made and it changes nicly to some diffrent things.
In a way it is a bit like a soundtrack for a cool underground film or something like "trainspotting".
Ever be on a fair, letz say on the "autoscouter" and be a bit drunken or stoned or else? Never got this feeling of getting extreme mixings of music only with rotating youre head a little? ......
if i would make a movie and had a situation like that, then this track would work extremly cool.

But i am not sure if it is a good track to dance to. Maybe a little to chilly/dreamy ......

By the way - happy birthday to you.
Ok i am a little late but :)

stay tuned

Yea, it's cool. I wasn't offended. Was just confused on you calling it "funny to listen to." Which wasn't the intention, because I do take this seriously. It also makes it sound like you didn't like the track. Which is also why texting and communicating like this is problematic because alot of things get taken out of context. But I can actually hear a bit of things that sound out of place now or that maybe needs some tweaking. I just wanted to make a track for my b day ha. And sorry, I don't do emojis much so don't think I'm in a bad mood or anything. I'm in more of a neutral mood or inbetween where I'll just write out a review/comment and nothing more. It isn't meant to be looked into anymore than that. I like to respond to everyone, so I've kept that a habit since I've been on here. That's just me. And thanks for the birthday wish! peace

Thanks alot analog. Alot more dnb on the way, alot of music in general really. The finished version will be LOADS better. Be sure to check back. If I end up not re-uploading the finished version on here I'm going to reserve for my Mecha EP as a bonus track will have some heavy innovate dnb tracks. It is coming...Thanks again. peace

It's a bit like when you look at a movie in which the protagonist is on LSD at a fair and somewhat surprising moves his head from side to side and rotates a bit.
At first everything is something in cotton and unreal. Then it change to more clearly but also surreal ..... this is quite funny to listen to.

stay tuned

Nice, nice one here GC. Love the way you faded in the intro, you get that feeling of actually walking into a cave or down into a basement where there is a rave going on.

I can just see ravers here dancing the night away with glowsticks in their hands. That was a good change of scenery at 2.00. Would be great if you could find some vocal samples to drop in! I was thinking something like the astronauts going to the moon etc.. But nonetheless, a very high energy track. Keep them coming Neobane!

Have a good Christmas holiday brother. - BD

Thanks man. Dnb definitely seems to be some hidden art I'm good at I guess. Didn't think I was doing the genre justice at first. And this is still just a rough mix in case you didn't read the description. The final version will probably blow your mind.(Or so I hope so) I'm going to put alot into this track, maybe a 5 to 8 minute track. Probably will upload on my soundcloud so I don't lose the quality. Thanks again, peace

wow! great and powerful introduction. it starts for me from 1:09. really clever work but still feels like a teaser. I want more!
or at least a proper ending
incredible dnb here

Thanks alot for the feedback Promenade, and yea. It is just a teaser, I like to tease sometimes. This will be about 6 or 8 minutes when I'm done. At first I was going to make it 5 minutes but I have a few old tracks that are longer. I've decided on patience for this track. Going to really push my limits. The wait will be worth it, glad you enjoyed my progress! peace

Damn this makes me want to get back into D&B. It's got a great atmosphere, bass is pretty solid, the drumming is awesome (but i'm hoping it'll pick up a bit more). Not sure how close this is to being finished so I don't think theres much advise I could give but I do like where this is going.

Also I respect the whole "giving each track your all" thing, it takes a lot of self-discipline to do that but the music usually ends up being much better so good on you. Can't wait to hear the finished product.

Peace. LIS

Do it man, I'm starting to really get into it again. Definitely my fav genre right about now. I would love to hear more dnb(jungle too) from other members on here. The drums will have a heavy amount of tweaks done, the track is still in progress. So this was more or less a teaser. Thanks for checking this one bro, appreciate it! peace

I think you are off to a really good start GC...I haven`t listened to a lot of D&B but when I do I often find some really rich sounds behind the beat in a lot of the mixes..nice width in the backing..you might be able to get a bit more power in the drums with fairly fast attack, quick release compressor...I would even try just a touch of mid-side processing on them (I know that is a bit unusual)...Nugen makes a Stereoizer vst with a drum kit preset (very subtle) that really works great...I use the free version that came with Computer Music Mag a couple of years ago...try a bit more 80hz on your bass eq..and scoop out a little more between 200-400..You have room for a bit more limiting if you want when you get it finalized... just a couple of very minor suggestions GC & they may not help as I expect you already have a good knowledge of where you are at.....you have a really good mix on the go..and I sure am no expert when it comes to mixing most of the electronic genres....You have set yourself some high goals...but give it time...and get your reading from reputable sources ....keep on man......Ed

GramoChopin replied 1st Nov 2014 - 10 years ago
Thanks alot Tumbleweed. I will definitely use your suggestions, drums are going to be heavily edited in this. I can also edit the mid-side and sides by using Ozone's 4 powerful equalizer. (I know they have 6 out currently) I usually do this by the mastering stage. And I don't think it should be too much different mixing a electronic type of track compared to maybe a acoustic or chillout track such as yours. Alot of my productions would probably sound maybe better if I had a sub for monitoring to pick up the rest of the lows. All I have are my AV40's from M audio and some studio standard sony headphones. I apologize if bass was perhaps too loud, I start alot of rough mixes like that. Love bass, and by "and get your reading from reputable sources" do you mean my description? Either way, thanks again for checking this one out. peace

GC,
Starts off ambient then moves into the drum and bass … very different but enjoyed. The drum and bass really comes in abruptly though; may I suggest fading it in?
