Manicman,

I noticed that the comments prior to mine on this track are from last year and I hope now you have managed to get some software upgrade. If you have done this track on Audacity, then think what you could do on Reason, Live, Cubase, FL etc, etc.

As regards the track, have to agree with Phyruisblackjack about the over usage of samples but he is right also about how cool this track could be if you had the gear to do a tidy mix. Hope you don't see this as negative criticism, It is actually praising your work on such limited resources. There are ways of getting software you know, but I could not possibly promote that on here. One good option would be to buy a copy of Computer Music Magazine which will have a dvd with it that has a complete music studio for free. This studio is available every month and there are some cool plug ins.

In your reply you say you don't know how to mixdown. You are on the internet, there are loads of sites that offer free advice, video tutorials and the like. You have done this track with your experience so far... think what you could do after just reading a few articles. Get on it fella and start discovering what is inside you that you never knew you had. By the way, I think your profile pic is well funny mate, I see you have a funny side to your character. Good luck dude.

I have this collection of samples, haha. Who would have thought to have a wobble didgeridoo (correct spelling). Actually, Rolf Harris may be doing some kick ass dubstep on his didg as we speak, you never know. (Sounds like an obscure sex act!!!) Tc Manic.

ah
also, part of what phyrius has mentioned can be done through audacity
go to effects and find the equalizer
and thats a main bit of what you need, theres a big long process to mastering but thats a good place to start

some nice ideas brother...

If I am honest you the only thing this track need is a good going over post production wise. a good mix down would sort out any glitches

I would go for harsher EQing on the bass and drum track to stop them messing with one another... etc.

I would remove some of those samples too at times you feel as a listen that you waiting for the next sampler rather than waiting for the bass to kick in or a sweet snare hit.

so yeah...

I did enjoy it but you need to do a big fat hairy mixdown to tweak the track in to more than just being... to make it sing.

keep 'em coming brother

on wot d time of d dread by manicman
Love that switch @ about 30 seconds. It sound very open and spacey until then. Those glitch efx / synth efx are dope. Man you did a good job of blending them all together creating a fusion of to me what sounds like anger and bliss. The randomness is catchy. Nice.

well i hope you understand it may not deafen a kitten but you are creating an imprint - they may be scared at first - but then you got fans for life - be wise with that - this could be the start of a beautiful friendship - cats are very musical creatures and this is terrific music

on boi by manicman
Very experimental Manic my friend. An intresting mix of sounds. Microsoft Sam gets down & dirty ha ha. My speakers are just recovering from this ! I like it as it's different but I would love to hear a version where you use this then bang it into some pumping & wobbly bass lines & drums. Clever work mate

on take down control by manicman
Nice vibe man.

However I'd up the volume of the wobble or lower the volume of the drums. I also suggest you try automating variation in the wobbles (as in LFO)?

But other than that it's got a good feel man. Keep going!
