This is amazingly creative! Gives me very good vibes to listen this! Very nice use of effects to deepen the mix! Alien soundscapes, with a down to earth construction! Great work!
Yes - there definitely is still a bit of clipping on that first note. I'm listening on hi quality headphones and on very cheap earbuds and it sounds the same.
I haven't actually tried on speakers (maybe I should).
Actually, there's still a bit of clipping on that main guitar riff (the one I said you'd fixed). But it's not really noticeable when the vocals come in. It's just there if you try to listen out for it and it's not a problem. But I guess it could be better, though maybe I'm being a bit perfectionist (you have to try!).
Wow, you really do have some cheap speakers! You must get something better if you can afford it. I have to do pretty much everything on headphones (I always hear that's not a good thing to do)because of the neighbours but at least I have some good headphones. They cost about £120 and are comfortable.
Anyway, it's still a good song, good mix and good musical crossover.
"I agree with everything you say and plus some !! Just got lazy and fed up with this track until you posted your 'kick up the backside' feedback, which is warmly welcomed and appreciated. Thank you so much : )"
I'm glad you took what was meant as constructive criticism the right way as I very occasionally get people here who really, really take it the wrong way. I just try to be honest but helpful. I know from my own work that when there are problems that should be fixed but there are also cool ideas and raw material that you can always make it better. And you owe it to yourself and the material to do that. You have to get honest with yourself and admit when thing's aaren't working or you've been lazy with an edit or whatever.
The re-edit is definitely so much better and that main guitar riff is now no problem at all. All so much smoother, no pain on listening. Actually I think the only problem is that very first note as it's clipping a bit too much.
Everything else is cool and you also got rid of the vocal snippets I didn't think worked.
The autotune "I don't know what's going wrong" is actually pretty good and unusual for this sort of genre.
I think this is now a really good track. Don't forget to check out Skindred - you will be inspired!
I'm not hearing any clipping on the first note ? maybe you have a better sound system then my cheap £14.99 2 tweekers and a small woofer. but any hows, just an excercise for me as I have not tried a rock dub glitch before. I will get a chance to listen to Skindred later on tonight. Peace
Yes, I love a good mix up of genres. If you haven't heard of the UK band called Skindred (terrible name) you must check them out. They are the greatest and possibly only proper mix of hard rock/metal and dub reggae. The singer is amazing and sings proper reggae and proper metal, often both in the space of a few seconds.
Anyway, your track is cool but there's a real problem for me with the guitar tone. It's too fuzzy and sounds like it's clipping but not in a good way. As it's a key feature it's bothering me and I hope you can fix it or re-record it.
Good vocals here and the drums are fine.
I really like the squealing, wailing high-ish guitar starting on 0:31 as it's a cool break after those vocals and good playing.
I didn't think the "uh!" snippet of vocal heard twice starting on 0:44 was good as it's too oviously an edit as it's too brief. I get the idea, I just don't like this particular snippet of vocal.
The shortish break without the guitar works well and then it's cool getting the high guitar back again. I also liked it as it gave my ears a rest from the tone of the rhythm guitar which sounds like an error to me rather than good distortion. I should add that what that guitar plays is just fine - the only problem is with the sound processing.
I hope you can fix that guitar as it's a powerful, direct track with some real balls.
Please remember to check out Skindred as I think you'll love them (perhaps start with the track Set It Off).
Overall: good work that people will definitely enjoy but needs some things fixing to help them enjoy it even more...
I agree with everything you say and plus some !! Just got lazy and fed up with this track until you posted your 'kick up the backside' feedback, which is warmly welcomed and appreciated. Thank you so much : )
Thanks TV. i HAVE RE EDITED THIS TRACK FROM YESTERDAY. Much better by far. I get lazy most times until I hear it again a day or two later and think, it's crap ! so I go over it again. Thanks for listening :)
This is a nice bit of sci fi soundscaping if ever i heard it.
Crucethus is right though, it needs at least a kick drum or something to take it to the next level.
Great as an intro piece though.

so good about qualitY & innovative combination of various sounds both , considered about everything from adding & reduscing various sound to effects like echo .so lovelY & unique. welldone man .best wishes.__Behnam
Behnam, Great comment, I love to play with sound, experiment and look for the difficult until it is simple. I love editing :) Thank you so much for the listen, I will stop by soon. Peace
Me too, I love to throw the bass about, working on more bass dynamics with a woofer system .. trying to find that G-Spot with the beats. Thanks for your feedback :)
I have just spent 2 weeks updating the vocals to a musical editing score of harmonies, really sounds crazy but the sample editing is what I am finding reall fun on this track. in-between working on 2 other tracks, not the best way, but creativity can not be channeled nor stored for another day. when it comes I grab both horns. Peace & Light My Friend & Thank you for finding me :)
Tight. Great groove. I was wanting a little more evolution in it but then the break came at 3:17ish and that bit of variation was the fresh breeze I needed to carry me through. Right on.
Great Response, I wanted to keep this really minimal to the bone, and test the patience factor , ha ha. working on an idea from this 'let the beat drop' to bring in a couple of well known old skool genre's but with a fresh editing twist ? I always talk good ideas but this time I am giving it the dogs bolox. thank you so much for the listen and critique Sir, I appreciate your time and will swing by you soon. Peace & Light :)
Thank you PF .. Just experimenting to evolve something old with a new flavoured dish .. I will finish with the results on my next released track 'Brownskin Mama' you heard it first. Respect Peace & Light my Friend :)
WOW !! Thanks Spivkurl that means a lot. It originaly had a seanboogie rap hip hop vein running through out the track and when I heard Planetjazzbass's LOOP guitar solo 'Riddim Mechanic' I new it would work on this track .. :)
These beats are amazing! The scratching is really good! This has some glitch elements which I really like! Great instrumentation! This is cool! Faved for sure!
