Thanks man! I dont take it as an insult i understand exactly what you mean! Im trying to listen to as many styles of rap as possible at the moment, Eminem is one of them! I always take constructive criticism into account, yours has been most helpful and i appreciate you taking out the time to help me!
great track brother....... not even sure I'd class this as hiphop ya know?...
I would have loved to have heard those kicks a little more in the mix maybe even the addition of 808 kick one in every 4 bars to extend the texture if the drum track... thats probably just me being picky though..
nice track I enjoyed in even though hip hop aint really my thing ...
Imma happy to hear that you're feeling this
track ;) as fore tha kicks I know what you mean....
Only reason I didn't try beefing it up with another
layer is case tha sub from tha bass was getting drowned
out...:/
My slowpokedness is slowly wearing and I will transfer this all to you!
I used those previously mentioned VST's. Dblue's glitch (horribly apparent to me, tape-stop 1 shot)
The Trip out part is intricate volume gates. Basically on every transient note I cut the volume completely, then after resampling it's just a matter of waiting for tracks to finish rendering.)
But anyway, I hear the bass, I never even tried.
I will make sure to send the drum track, that's all live stuff... Ableton 8 and KJ sawka samples now that I think about it!
:)
definitely something I'd be into working with others live ....
this whole thing gets a little lonely doesn't it?
anyway ....
a cool track brother reminded me very much of some of the live stuff Jay Z does... nice
maybe a little too much one the crash for me...but maybe thats just me... because the drum track is great... I just get the little niggling feel that those crashes need to come down in the mix....did you record this live?
Yeah, you are totally right... I am still trying to find the right way to layer the last two drum takes with the whole piece.
Cause it's kinda just Intro, verse, and then it just floats on lol..... Gah, yea, it's live tho. I will try and lower the side-chain.. I think I was being a dummy and trying to side chain the cymbals to mah snares and mess up something.. I knew when I did it, but I was too tired and my ears hurt lol
some good ideas here...reminded me a of underworld... but after a while it does get a bit mono tone.. maybe try adding in some drops and some other elements to mix it up a bit... a bongo to the drum track would work really well in this track... I would also add a sub line to really get heads bobbing.. the mix it's self it ok the EQing needs a little more work for me the top end needs to come down but thats just me..
like I said some nice ideas... keep em coming brother
Yea, the drums are to made like that, gives the amen later more room to flex.
Thanks man - there's another track coming up (fissure) that I think has a lot of potential! :D
Thanks for listening mate, and keep it locked!
I'll hit up one of your tunes...
STeve
that bass is off the hook brother...maybe a bit of layering would really bring it out... I can totally heard all those influences in there brother...a nice groove.. keep 'em coming brother
Thanks Bro for the comments!! Been a while since I have been here but got a couple of new ones I will upload next week just got a little twiking to do!! Thanks Fila
soem nice ideas... it is a bit sparse in places...but very very very very 80's brother...how old are you? it was like something by the cure or something...nice guitar work ...you or a loop?
i used mixcraft, it is like a program, i guess it was different sounds/loops, i was in a moment and wanted to write somethin deep, then thats how i organized d beat, lol
nice and dark brother...digging the atmosphere you got going on in the track..kept me interested you know?.. for me I would have added a few more fx and a little less distortion on the ones you have got in there..
maybe some drops...or that thing the grime guys are doing...you know?
stop..gun cocking..back to the beat..
try listening to OdotZED here on the loop for a idea of what I mean...
anyway I enjoy the listen thanks for sharing brother
Word.. Appreciate the critique brother. I hear ya on the suggestions. I'm glad you like it a bit because this is the first track on my ep that I want to send to you.
Yeah I've been checking out OdotZed on the grime tip. He has been giving me suggestions and advice as well.
Thanks again man! I'll have some new fresh stuff up soon and expect my ep shortly...
hhmmmm... some nice idea brother... I do think that maybe it's a little long at 6:32...an I would have add some more fx just to keep the listener happy but having said that it does sound like a track designed just for the dance floor rather than listening in ya room on a monday afternoon.. I have to say this is really not my genre.. but the track is well produced and nicely put together...keep 'em coming brother
Thanks man.
Yeah. It's trance ^^ That's working like "this and that... Repeat, repeat, reapeat... Buildup here a bit... Repeat, repeat, repeat... break or techy part... transition to main theme... repeat, repeat, repeat... Damn! 27minutes is to much! delete, delete, delete... Yeah. That's great" ;)
Ok... not THAT bad ^^ but you're right. It's more something to listen in the background to or an a floor. It doesn't take too much attention from the listener ;-)
but i'd love to hear this song on a floor... I think it would be quite nice...
oh my... just knocked me out of my chair brother... nice...this is wicked... I have no critic at all..massive tune faved for sure..keep 'em coming brother
again some nice ideas... and again I would have put this in the cinematic genre... the trouble with this second track is it just seem a continuation of the first one with no reason for a break..really.. I would have keep them together as one track it might have worked better... I couldn't escape the feeling though these tracks are just an stream of fx put end to end...anyway some interesting ideas...keep 'em coming brother
some nice stuff here brother...very cinematic...which is the genre I would have put it in... I like stuff like this very creative...nice ..keep 'em coming brother
interesting styling to this track..seems almost broken... it almost like theres a non looping loop in there.. very old skool sound none the less.. some nice ideas... keep 'em coming brother
some nice ideas here brother....I would have liked to have heard a few sfx in that intro just to give it a bit of texture... I'm liking the vocal... very much like a chip dnb tune brother...as rollagee said it's not that original but still if your just trying something I won't call you on it.. I would say if your gonna keep things generic then you gonna include all the elements ...basicall what I mean is you need a sub in there..some nice ideas to start with... keep 'em coming brother
Nah, this one was just for fun.. nontheless, it was annoying when I lost it. I'll definatly be uploading some more stuff soon, I'm getting inspired by stuff by people on this site, and I recently got two Pendulum albums which are just pure awesome. my only worry is that I'll sound the same as other artists, but I'm more worried about learning the techniques right now. Thanks for listening though!
I could export everything and send... in fact I will.
:)
umn.. But I do plan on adding some variations on the drums tomorrow, also I am trying to get a little girl to sing "I want to live forrrrever" and then kinda lay that over on it...
I think it will add a very very very nice level of surrealism to the track?
But either way man, I will send what I have...
Getting the individual cymbal/hihat tracks and stuff can be done too, it's kinda been bounced down and down over and over lol
I always loved this track brother... nice to see you finally going back and getting the final touches done...
for me I'm think it's a little muddy on the drum side but knowing you ...you already know that..that kick needs to come up in the mix and the snare needs to be sharper like a knife edge..ya know?
I'm not sure but maybe cut some off the top end of the drum track might go towards fixing that...
those guitars scream and growl like a caged panther being poked with a stick and those glitches only add to the power of that..
I can't help the feel that maybe the use of a kinda hammond sound might add something else to the high end once the high end is cut off the drum track thus fill the hole...ya know?
anyway I finish this with how I started it...
I always loved this track brother and the good news is I still do ...
Yea.. I really really messed up on this man! I started finalizing things.... and this was before I was smart about how I labeled my stuff.
I know that we have had that dialogue going on.. But if I do anything else like this in the future, I would prefer to try and work with you?
We could share rights on the drums, I could do some metal riffage, you do the sickassbass you always do?
Hopefully get in an argument.
Start a huge brawl.
Then there's a legal issue... but after a short respite, and a tall 32 oz styrofoam cup of red wine we come to terms and create an even heavier track than this lol
nice work guys... loving the wobbles ...melody.. very nice... I would have add some more texture to it to really add to the atmosphere of the track.. that vocal comes in quite late maybe something similar at the start of the track or some more sfx nothing too heavy maybe a twinkle of light bells might help..the basses sound like they needed work to begin with but I can't hear an issue now so... that must have been fixed..I would say though I would have liked to have heard that sub come out from under it shell of the other basses from time to time...having said that I did enjoy the track alot thanks for sharing...keep 'em coming
Hey thanks brother. I love this track! But the more I listen to it. I don't like my wobbles as much. They seem kinda sloppy and a lil lazy to me. Something to improve on I guess... I'm gonna take you up on the advice and suggestions. I thought there was already a bit going on with Becca's melody but I see now where I could add in some secondary sounds. Sub bass has been a struggle for me lately. But I'll get it eventually. And I'll try to have the sub pop in some during the wobble sections. Brother appreciate the crit and I'll revise and repost this one soon...
Some nice ideas here...the high end need sorting they take over the whole track at times... loving the lyrics brother... youse guys work really well together...but you gotta stop making do and make the best production you can.... as in the track "I promise no less" this track just suffers from lack of post production having said that I did enjoy the listen... keep 'em coming brothers
Thanks for the listen and review man! We'll take that into consideration, i havent a clue how to mix myself, OZed is still learning he says, but you are right, to step it up we need to perfect it. Appreciate it man!

I recommend you list to eminem brother...some of his back vocals are just genius... especially his early stuff "slim shady E.P"...
hope you don't take that a insult... because this track is great...
there's some post production issues with reverb and blending but that all comes with practice brother... and trial and error...
