It would be hard to explain my ideas to you. But idk you say this is an aggressive track. I would emphasize that more, think of something that makes you really angry. The breakdown that starts at 1:55 is the most aggressive part of the song.
Adding some distortion (if there isn't already) to the lead synth could add more to it. I had a couple aggressive tracks I could of used as an example but I feel they aren't good enough at the moment. That's why I cleared my catalog, least on here.
The ambience at 4:42 could build into maybe a change of synth and maybe a darker tone. Some industrial type of fx might fit well in this. But yea, let me know what you think of my suggestions. A buddy of mine told me a while ago "sometimes you gotta let a song rock out." I think the track is nice for what it is now. Not too repetitive and gets the job done.
It depends how far you wanna go with it, tweaking the lead synth. Maybe play it differently every minute or so, adding elaborate fills, panning effects, various automation, maybe even automate the tempo and change the beat up etc etc. I've changed the tempo to a track before. The key is to making it work with the overall track. Instead of just adding too much and it all becomes redundant.
I've noticed I've been doing that with some of my latest productions. Hmm maybe less is more but put "extreme" focus on a couple of main instruments you think stand out the most and go all out with it. Alright, that was longer than I thought. Hope that helps! peace
o_O only 4 plays ? hmm, this track deserve a lot more plays because this track have the most epic intro and long ever.
For me the intro duration is around 2:10 min. but maybe im wrong. Any way this track is save in my favs now so im happy to find it. To bad for those who miss this one.
For some reason this reminds me of Gex: Enter the Gecko. lol Don't ask why. Definitely insane sounding, I'm no stranger to insane type of tracks though. Aphex Twin is probably the most insane artist I've heard at least in the electronic department. Listen and watch the "come to daddy" video. It's flippin crazy. Over the top is good sometimes I think. It can grow into something more but all depends on what your going for. Interesting arrangement and great effects/buildups. Nice, peace
I think this fits quite well in Electronic genre, but I wouldn't bother too much about categorization. The most important is to perform good music and this is a solid one...
Mate great piece, haven't heard to much rave here on the loop, so it is refreshing to hear a rave type piece, great clarity of the mix, nice arrangement and panning, can not fault in anyway, love it...Fav...Peace n Respect...Mosaic...
Dam, your upload rate is something else. You seem to have a new track everyday. Digging this mate but i'd say it's more techno than cinematic (although i could see it being used for a car chase scene quite easily) Oh now i get it, the strings have started. Nice melodies and great atmosphere. I like the chopped up samples and that techno bit i think is my favorite. Nice pumping beat and interesting drums. Now it's dropped into something more cinematic again.
Interesting track.

Not everyday. Almost. The reason for so many songs is that, I've been making music since 04 and have never done anything w/ them until now.
That's why I really need feedback on my tracks. I don't know if their any good or not.
So I appreciate all the comments you have made thus far, I would also encourage you to check out my profile, if you have time that is, there's a lot of songs that need some feedback.
Again, thank you for your feedback I really do appreciate it. FT
hi, I really like this one. The loops are skillfully and tastefully combined. I wasn't listening to many of your tracks so far but I sort of assume you're using them a lot in your productions.
Nice mallet percussion used here - I like that! Reminds me always of some of Steve Reich's minimal-music.
This one is melodic and 'cimematic' indeed yet still very energetic. My only suggestion would be you could simply fade-in and fade-out the song.
Very nice work and really good soundtrack. Alex
I always enjoyed the movie, and this song would have worked well with it. Percussion on this one is outstanding. That bass is nice and is the kind you feel as well as hear. Very suspenseful track that takes the listener on a great little ride. Nicely done FT. I know cinematic isn't your usual fare, but you certainly did well with this one. Maybe another in the future for us cinematic buffs? I hope all is well.
One thing is for certain, nobody can ever call your music boring, hahaha. Damn, had the volume cranked and I think I took off the first two layers of paint on the walls of my studio. But I did get the neighbors off their collective asses this morning.
I know nothing about the hardcore genre, but I liked this craziness from start to finish. Well done FT!! I hope all is well.
How many other people do what? Typing while listening? Well, what I mean is this. I'll listen to a track and review as I go basically. So if I say something like "I really dug the part at the 1:00 min mark" I was most likely listening to that part as I typed it. Most others tend to finish a track and then review or comment.
the active xylophone lick is fresh! i'm also liking your strings. what sounds do you use? lots of interesting activity in this one. nice percussion grooves. wondering if the bass might be toned down a bit. good contrast in between sections. wonder how this one might end? regards - Dan
I use a lot of early 2000 samples, and a wide range of other loops. I like the sounds from that time period, I try to incorporate them in w/ the new style of sounds.
And yes the bass needs some work. Thank you for your comments. FT
Really digging this intro, full of mystery. Typing while I'm listening here. Really love the low nature of the drums, it lacks impact but plays in the back pretty nice. Strings are a plus. I really love classical music as well so strings and piano almost resonate with me instantly. The brass is really well incorporated too. Nice transitions in this one, has a great groove. Hope to see it grow with comments and listens. Great production! peace
Nice break beat riff. There's a little too much top end on the EQ on my headphones but other than that it's a really nice mix with some good ideas.
Nice filtered sounds and lazer effects a plenty combined with some solid breaks patterns and nasty drops.
This is insane!!!

I've noticed you've been listening to a few of my tracks and I wanted to say thank you for that.
You are correct on the intro, I wanted the intro to be long so the build got to be super intense, then....bam....right in your face.
Thanks for listening. FT

This song took forever the panning was so difficult and to break every thing down then build it back up again, was a challenge as well.
So again thank you for noticing my track on the looper and thank you for enjoying this lil jam.

It took awhile to get the drums down, but once I figured out how to layer them just right they sound great.
So again thank you, I hope you keep listening, because I've heard a track or 2 of your stuff ad I cant wait to see what you come out w/ next.
