Thanks Mate, I've not tried this style of D&B before so i'm just glad it's not a complete disaster.
Cheers for stopping in.

Thanks, Hearing it back this morning i think it could do with a bit of tidying up but thanks for dropping by and checking it out.
Glad you like it so far.

Thanks Carlos, I couldn't agree more. I actually find it quite incredible the amount of people that seem to think that we're all just going to pay attention to what they are doing, when it would seem they can't be bothered to put themselves out for anyone else. I mean i thought the whole point of this place was to hook up with other music lovers and win listeners. Or have i missed something?
Anyway, I'm glad you could find a moment to drop in and give this a listen/download. It makes it that little bit more special that i know you're busy at the moment. I'm also happy that you would be willing to talk shop with me sometime as i rate your skills among the best i've heard on this site. I look forward to it.

Sorry dude! Somehow i missed this review. Haven't checked this track for a while.
Bathing with radios? I'm more of a shower person really but i always take my lap top, stereo, TV and microwave in it with me.
Glad you could stop by and check this out.
FR

Thanks mate, I'm suprised at the feedback this ones got as i didn't actually spend that long on it. Just goes to show you CAN work too hard sometimes.
Your comments are always appreciated DKP & i'm glad you liked the tune.

Thank you in return for upping my stats a little more. I'll give you a few tips about this place as well to get you going.
The first thing is that winning regular listeners around here isn't as easy as we'd all hope. You have to spend a bit of time finding peeps that will leave comments and suchlike. The best peeps to start with are the regular forum posters 90% of them will check out your tunes if you listen to theirs.
The rest unfortunately is a bit of a numbers game. I've reviewed loads of tracks this week and so far i think i've had about three back from people i hadn't previously had one from. You've just got to try not to let it p*ss you off (It does though sometimes lol)
The other one that i find probably the most effective is to use the accapellas. If you do a good job with them then people tend to drop by more often.
Oh and if you post a track that gets no response then sometimes it's just a case of bad timing. If you play it back and can't hear anything wrong with your mix then delete it and upload it again the next day. It's quite astonishing the difference that can make. I've actually been thinking about trying an experiment where i just keep uploading the same track every day to see what happens. I bet it would bag just as much a response as uploading different ones every day.
Anyway, I wont bore you any longer but hopefully this will help to get you started here.
FR

Thanks man, I'm glad that you enjoyed listening to this track.
I'll be checking out more of your work for sure.
FR

Thanks BSM, it's encouraging to know that you think it's good enough to be sold. Perhaps i should be thinking about trying to make a few quid instead of giving it away all the time.
One day perhaps.
I just popped over to your profile but i see you're new here.
Give me a tap on the shoulder when you've uploaded something and i'll gladly stop by and give it a listen.
I'll forget otherwise.
Thanks for stopping by and playing this track.
FR

Ha ha! No worries. Bit of a communication breakdown going on there.
I'll be over to check out what you've been up to shortly.
FR

Ah, Mr Winn. How good of you to stop in. Yes, Breakbeats a bit of a difficult genre to figure out as there are lots of different varietys of it. I personally just go with the philosophy that if it aint got a four to the floor beat pattern & it's electronic, then it's breakbeat. Or it could be 2 step, or garage, or whatever lol.
I'm glad you managed to find a moment to tune in and check it out.
FR

Thanks mate, The first time i posted it, It got a big fat zero so i'm just happy that it doesn't sound like a two year old made it this time lol.

Thank you my friend. I'm glad you like the track and that's a bit of a mouthful that methylenedioxy watchemacallit.
Cheers for leaving your thoughts. I've had a right sh***y old day and words like this cheer me right up.
FR

Thanks man, Just been checking out your page. I'm digging that funky electro breakbeat number as i type. I like your style and i'll be tuning in more often.
Thanks for dropping in and leaving comments & links.
FR

Thanks Bear, I'm just glad it didn't go for another round of Zero reviews and Zero downloads like it did when i first uploaded it. It did sound like c**p when i played it back again though. The LFO's were so harsh it sounded a bit like one of those old ferric oxide tapes when they got old and worn out lol.
It's funny you should turn up now as i found myself staring at the "get on the bus" rar file earlier and thinking "I was going to have a go at that wasn't i?" tsk tsk! Perhaps now would be a good time to start huh?
Thanks for dropping by and checking out this latest offering.
FR

Yeah, i have this terrible habbit of just chucking tunes up as soon as i get to the end. Then i play them back the next day when i can hear again properly and think "So that's why nobody's commented on it then"
I'm glad that this time round you liked it enough to bag a copy and i hope it helps you get stuck into those modern day torture machines they install down the gym these days.
FR

Thanks Wayne. Now what i really need to do is stop posting stuff before it's ready. It's a terrible habbit and i do it every single time, without fail.
Thanks for giving it a listen. I'm feeling a lot happier that this time round it's managed to get more than zero comments and zero downloads. It must have sounded shocking before lol!
FR

First of all that name you've chosen for yourself is like a subliminal message. I keep thinking "Get towel, bucket and spade and head to beach"
Thanks for your kind words of inspiration. It's comments like that, that make it all seem worthwhile.
Cheers for stopping by.
FR

Yeah, I've been trying to make good some of the half done tracks i've had floating around in the background. So far this is the only one thats made it to the end.
The vocal sample was a freebie from FL studio and it was just pure luck that i decided to peruse the demo projects and see if there was anything i could pilfer. There's some quality stuff in there and i'm suprised i don't hear more people using them to be honest.
The trippy vocals are courtesy of the fruity slicer. It just automatically chops your wavs up into whatever sized slices you want to work with and assigns them to the piano editor. It's a great tool!
Thanks for dropping in and listening.
FR

Arrgh! Sorry man, I missed this comment some how. Life was so much easier when nobody played my tunes. I think i'm going to delete my account and come back as "Captain turd polisher" nobody will review me then and i won't lose track of what's been going on.
Thanks as always for stopping by and leaving your thoughts.
FR

No, the track does just quit for some reason. I need to do another conversion and reup it. I have no idea why it did that and it's pretty annoying.
Thanks for dropping by and leaving your thoughts.
FR

No worries man, I've turned the downloads back on now if you wanted a copy. I just wanted to see how much difference it made with regards to how many reviews you get. "A lot" would seem to be the answer. I'm gonna turn them all back on now. Nobody likes a Scrooge now do they? lol
