some really nice ideas...I have to say I do like tracks of this genre to grab me a bit more but that drum track is great ...hmmm definitely one for me to have a run at thanks for uploading the files for remix brother...
Thanks alot! yeah you could do lots of crazy ideas on this track; that's why I thought it will be cool for a remix. Could you help me with create a midi file so I can give you the notes of the song? Cheers man! Lookin forward to hear your remix!
Yeah, thanks for the comment Jack... i forgot to mention it... all mistakes was did with purpose XD
Actually they are not mistakes, they are just made in that way, including the deep reverb effect to express the feel about missing someone.
have I reviewed this track before in some different form? the intro sounds soooooo like something I recognize....
some nice ideas though...dark and light at the same time....the drum track is great...for me I would have added some more sfx or even glitch elements to it to really have got the darkness popping you know?
This the first time posting this, just posted it yesterday.
Yeah i didn't feel that i added as much as i could but at the same time i wasn't trying to clutter it up too much you know. Well glad you liked it, and good to hear ideas also.
some nice ideas brother...for me the composition is a little simple but as has already been said if you were to add something like a bass drone in the background and some fx it might make it a touch more complex...
thank you for your comment i have only been useing fl the past few days so im still trying to get the hang of it but this was the first loop i have ever done but they will get better as i progress
kerry :)
I have to say all the panning made me feel a bit sick... there are some timing issues as well with some of the synths..
all in all I would say you probably need to add a more prominent bass line and calm down on the panning... the drum track is really good you might wanna try automating a filter on those drums taking out the low end completely for the break downs it would keep the track moving and add the extra dance feeling your after...
Many thanks for the review, much appreciated. I have not produced music for very long.
I do have a major issue with using samples for the vast majoirty of the music I compile. The panning was already embedded in the europa sample and so I experimented by using/adding other sounds around it.
None of the sounds were actually composed by myself, these were all compiled together.
I do use Sony Acid to mix the mp3 files, and very new to it. This is just a hobby for me.
I was told that I had a good sound for putting music together so thought what the heck.... But many thanks for the feedback. I will keep it mind
for me I cringe every time I hear something like this even being mentioned....
but...
this works really well and it wouldn't be out of place in any discotheque..(showing my age !!)... the production is good and the whole piece is well put together...
having said that it still made me cringe because it seems to be laziness to use an established piece of music and put a twist on it but then I find myself asking "isn't that just a remix?" and the truth is ....
yeah it's is just a remix so then I find myself asking "why not just call a spade a spade and be done with it?"
I think that if the title said more about the contents it might sit better with me
but.... on the other hand perhaps it's cause I'm not a trance fan that I don't get it... hhhmmmmm...
who knows... some nice ideas but I have to say this track certainly left me scratching my head...
yeah bro, this is just a remix... thats true... nothing special lol
last week i found myself whistling that melody, and decided to make this remix just on my way, so there is the result of that lol
its simple but nice... actually i like it... could be better but i will leave it for now...
thank you bro for listening and for this nice review. appreciate your time.
some really nice ideas... it is widely known that I'm not a big fan of hiphop so excuse me if I sound dumb when I ask who is the Mc and the singer?
if it's you then the recording is great there is a slight hiss on the very top end but that might just be the ride/shake...
its quite refreshing to hear a track where the vocals seem like they belong to the track.. for me they might need to come up just a touch in the final mix and you might wanna take a little of the top end of the crash because it seems to be muddying the top end of the vocal...
having said all that I did enjoy the track it just need a few small tweaks to make it sparkle like the vocal deserves
it's widely know I'm not a big fan of hip hop.... but this is something different... it's got a very limp bizkit feel to it ..
production wise there are a few problems..the track seems to be underneath the vocals rather than the vocals being apart of the track... it's quite distracting and sometimes you feel that it almost messes with the flow in your head...
having said that I did enjoy every second of it so... maybe thats just me bit a moany old git!!
Thanx man...And yeah you are right the Mix of the beat and vocals are not great...I just sent the beat to Chase and he laid his vocals straight to the song...But if we could record in one room together it would have been really nice(We live in different countries)...and that's the real problem...Again Thanx for the review.
some great stuff brother... you two seem to work well together...
for me that snare needs a little more snap to it...maybe try changing it up... not on every hit but maybe every other or one in a bar... and thats my only suggestion other than maybe a few more sfx in there to add a little more texture
the bass balance is brilliant....
you pair should come up with a band name.... we could always use tracks of this quality on the label...
What up brother? Thanks man... Yeah I agree with you on the SFX thing. I think it needs something extra too to fill in the gaps. Yeah Becca and I had thought about a name as well. We were thinking like B&B productions or something along those lines. Wow!! We would be honored to join Housefly!!! Gonna keep grinding away and get some quality stuff for ya! I appreciate ya stoppin in to have a listen and for the costructive review!!!
this is just great brother...you've taken your knowledge from dnb production and wrapped it up in a big hip hop bow...
your should get this one over to chase Manhattan brother.. I'm sure he'd love to spit over this also maybe try getting some english sounding rhymes over it get it over to ROSH that boy has some serious talent too..
hhhhhmmmmm...nice... I'm digging the vocals on this one some really truly nice stuff and the quality is amazing... you guys work really well together...
this I ashamed to say is only the third time I've checked out your stuff and I'm glad as before that I did... I'm hearing Floyd..dire straits...santana...elements of metallica or gnr...
hands down the best production quality I've heard here on the loop for years...
if you guys ever want to get together and put out an E.P on the label give us a shout because this would be huge...
Hey man thanks for the great review!...it's interesting reading your take on the influences running through this piece and even better that in a collaboration they all can come out...we all play off each other and give appropriate space and freedom during the whole process,working with these guys is a communal buzz..thanks for the offer man,I really appreciate that!..cheers from Dave,Detlef,Bill and Steve :)
some nice ideas brother.... the intro works really well but I can't help the feeling that it's just tac'd on with blu tac ya know?
really you need to pick an element from the intro and continue to run it through the track... whether it be something thats already there or something you add to give it texture..it would work ...promise...
I would also say that you low mid end is a little muddy but as this is a rough cut I'll let that go....
like I say some nice ideas brother...would be nice to hear it when you get the track done....
thanks fam!
i understand how you might feel about tha intro
but those particular lyrics is what inspired to
make this track and tha fact that it's in korean
doesn't help either :P so understood ;) hehehehe
tha low end i will def' touch up as i finish
this track :)
hopefully it'll sound great when it's finished~
THANKS FOR THA GREAT REVIEW
it never hurts to have someone with GOOD
ears give some constructive criticism :D
hehehehe ;)
yes i know this song was the hardest to master out of all pieces so far. i remastered it 4 times and ray koefoed did once as well. this version was rays remaster. i may try again soon maybe a middle ground between the bassy original and the trebly latter. Its the layering of the bass drone and the drumwork bumping heads. this version is quite trebly though. the synth piece was played quite a few octaves above the rest so that didnt help either.
some nice smooth grooves... perfect for this summer weather...
I think every one here would like someone to add vocals to at least one of their tracks....
some of that filtering clips slightly...maybe you need to bring it back rein it in a bit you know? I think I would have prefered to have heard a sub sound rather than a filter bass... that might just be me though....
the intro is great but would probably benefit from being a little more sparse it would add a lot more weight to the drop...
I'm liking the synths quality.... the bassline is nice too maybe a tiny bit more variation would be nice... and the same I would say for the drum track...
all in all I did enjoy the listen but for me it ends far too abruptly... maybe work on an outro even if its just fade to black....
Thanks for stopping by. I know exactly what you mean about the Beastie Boys. I really wish there were some more forward thinking MCs or Producers on here that could hear the potential in the tracks that are posted.
I'm glad your boys had a dance...thinking about it is making me smile :)
Elaine
wow I can't believe 9 people have listened to this and not one of them has had stones to tell you this aint no dnb brother....
the whole track has the feeling of one big long intro...
I would say that maybe you need to listen to some of the dnb here on the loop....start with people like Rollagee,RogueAi,HNMM and sn76 there really is some great dnb here on the loop enough to give you some inspiration...
don't get me wrong there are some nice ideas here but may be it just needs a bit more work to take it to the next level brother...
Thanks for the input. What I'm lacking most is good drums. I didn't want to use the drums I've used, but very few drums on looperman are what I want in a drum even if I mash loops, I'm never satisfied with the result so I just went with it. I'll change the genre. =]
some really nice ideas brother...I'm never sure of the whole drum step thing to be honest...
the bass line is wicked totally digging the drum track... maybe some more variation on that percussion would have been nice but other than that a good track brother...
I just upload a new version of this track, sounds a bit different and better ... I will definitely take your suggestion, and in the next version I will try to add more variations in percussions!
Thanks for the review bro,much appreciated!
