Agree with the others, this track is in need of some fine compression execution. Maybe a multi-compressor...but i dunno what type of DAW you use. If you use reason, it's standard compressor should be fitting for the job..as far as any other DAWs download some good plugins. I can't really give too many specific ones, as i'm still searching for a great set of plugins that work for me and my work flow. But i would just start with searching for some "freeware" vst plugins. And if you use a mac, plugins for that is actually "audio unit plugins." I dunno why it's different, i just recently figured that out. Or even RTAS plugins.

And as far the kick drum, and even the vocals the compression settings could be as follows. a 2:1 ratio to maybe a little below 4:1. A slow (or) fast threshold, it really depends what sounds alright to you. Usually a fast threshold is good for tracks like these with a jumping bass kick like that. Make sure to leave a bit of head room on the output gain, so crank it down maybe a -0.3 decibels. That should usually work, as it will keep sounds from peaking or distorting. And with nice compression to smooth things out, you can add a limiter to turn things back up without it peaking. Then you could EQ or whatever you feel is necessary to fine tune and polish your track up. Hope that helps brudda. peace out!

Interesting work so far..i like the choir and ambient sounding glockenspiel type of synth. i dunno how to describe that one..but yea i dunno if this is the finished product for you, but i await the final version. I think i'ma take a break on this music tip, i've gotten so caught up in my unemployment situation i really don't want to focus on anything else. And it's a shame because i really don't want to focus on money like it's the most important thing in the world, but unfortunately it kind of is...to survive at least..money is firmly on my money right now. I'll be seeing you around. peace out.

Okay...so, let's start over. I LIKE THIS TRACK. lol and...I LIKE YOU. Really, the string melody is pretty dope on this. The piano is really fitting too, probably my most favorite instrument that i want to learn one day. But yea this has that lowkey epicness to it. digs it.

Neobane/InPSYcLe

Sounds like this could equally a nice chill out track to. Has nice set foundations for some good techno or house too. Reminds me bit of the Megaman Battle Network soundtracks. Or Even the Megaman X soundtracks, I've always like those and the synths and sounds they use in those are always great. These are really great too. Digging this track man. Great job. peace

Just from pressing play, this already reminds of a lil of metroid prime mixed in with some darkness from the silent hill soundtracks. That voice with a bit of a flanging effect it sounds like or phasing makes it sound really eerie and spaced out. This is creepy track here man, very in depth to the feeling of death...sounds more like a very horrible death actually..i'm scared lol haha funny too because I was just watching two documentaries about two very twisted dark individuals.

Ed Gein and Melvin Just...Ed has to be just plain insane for what he did...and Melvin...that was probably the worst story about child abuse and molestation i've ever seen. This track would of fit the setting in those documentaries quite perfectly. Chillin stuff brudda, short and sweet. Faved

Dug the intro in this, has a very slow build up to it though. Could of got down to the jamming right away! Not too fast though, but yea thought the track was a bit loud as well. Needs some heavy compression to smooth it out. Cut out some frequencies that don't belong too, EQ'ing is key. It's hard however to get really good at EQ'ing though, it takes time. Something i definitely still haven't mastered myself. And when your finishing up a track, you should always try to listen back on every medium you can. Monitors, headphones, earphones, your car, and maybe even the internal speakers of your computer/mac. Whatever you have at your disposal really, but this was a solid track. Nice instrumentation with the piano. keep it up. peace

Neobane/InPSYcLe

Crazy #####, the wobble bass gets a little frantic for me though. Sounds like it's going to overheat at any time! Still sick. peace out!

Neobane/InPSYcLe

Smooth one man. Real smooth, digging the vibe. The electric piano is very nice too. Digs it. peace out!

Neobane/InPSYcLe

Definitely a sweet vibing melody to this. This is exactly why i want to learn to play the piano professionally. Maybe even on a legendary status. Sweet instrument, probably the best one in my opinion. Nice playing. peace

Neobane/InPSYcLe

Smooth ##### man, digs it my dude. Like the synths and pads in this, everything sounds right. Dreamy like a little. nice vibes. peace!

Neobane/InPSYcLe

Agree with the others, hot track. The bass is alright for me on my speakers. I'm almost going to assume you made this with FL as alot of dudes are getting into making the trap ##### on fruity loops. Only thing i would want from this a little bit of a smoother mix. Other than that, ##### is panned nicely has nice stereo imaging. Just a little too loud at times. (although i still like my ##### loud too to an extent) peace out!

Neobane/InPSYcLe

Nice one, has very cartoon feel to it for some reason. Can hear this on the next big nick toon show or something. Now that i think about it, for some reason i think about an old show called "Chalkzone" that was on nick in the early 2000's. Loved that show. Like this though, groovy guitar and nice vocals efx to boot. dig it. peace out!

Neobane/InPSYcLe

Intelligent DnB here. I like the roll, feels like it doesn't know whether to go forward or backwards. Digging it man. Keep it up. peace out!

Neobane/InPSYcLe

I liked this track before even pressing play just because you avatar is ##### Spyro!!! Best dragon game ever! lol (Next to a game called Drakengard though too, i can't deny that game) But sick stuff here, driving drums and a sick guitar rhythm that only heavy metal would pull out! keep it up bra. peace

Neobane/InPSYcLe

Deep ##### man, dig the beat too. Lyrics is on point. Keep that real ##### up. respects. peace

Neobane/InPSYcLe

Nice...kind of sounds like something that can be a "Sonic" game soundtrack for some reason. I get feel for Megaman mixed with Sonic. Maybe it's the flanging like effects (which is used alot in many MegamanX game soundtracks) or the crisp guitar that sometimes pops up in sonic games. More of it's recent releases especially. Dig this though man, would of liked a final master however. But otherwise, nicely done. peace

Neobane/InPSYcLe

Sweet track here PJB. (Excuse the acronym) You've definitely been one of the top professionals on here as far as standards go for a final polished "sound" for you tracks. Everything is as clear as the rain. Agree with bear on this, real instrumentation is important and although i do most of my works electronically/digitally I still care about it's outcome. Would like to at least to learn to play piano, by far my favorite instrument. This a really great track though man, wish i had half the gear you guys had! I'd be busting out tracks at this quality too. The title is a fitting representation as well, and the music is the perfect advocate. Intelligent stuff here, respect.

-And you cracked me up a little with your post on MrFunk's thread just now realizing I am Neobane aka Neoenigma aka many aliases really lol And just so you know, the respect for you and any other long time members of this site has always been there. If i have not apologized for my adolescence in my "Neoenigma" days, i apologize now sincerely. As we all learn from growing up, and that's all i really needed to experience in the first place. And at that time, i was not in good place in my life. So apologies for the disrespect on all those pointless threads. peace!

Neobane/InPSYcLe

I see you trying something a bit different here bro. I can dig it. I've literally dabbled in about every type of genre there is. (Except country) And i think doing that increases your creativity and work flow. You become more open to all the different sounds that are available for use that is limitless by design. Regardless if this is your first dance type of track, i think you did pretty good. I like the synths and the jumpy rhythm to it. the pad is awesome too. A little short but otherwise nice. keep it up! peace

Neobane/InPSYcLe

lol Yea i was being sarcastic. I like you though, your cool. And i'm actually from the mil though.(Milwaukee)My bad, it's just what i grew up around! Sorry if that rubbed off the wrong way...you can take a boy from the hood, but you can't take the hood out the boy! But I'm mature though, i've out grown alot of my friends so yea, apologies. peace

Nice man, really powerful tense instrumentation here. Reminds a little of the FFX soundtrack. Gotta make a my next great cinematic track soon, this is really nice man. keep this type of work up. peace!

Neobane/InPSYcLe

I really like that intro. The track could use some more hard compression however. Especially when the screaming vocals come in, gets a little intrusive to the ear. I like instrumentation to this though. Just a tad too loud however for my taste, you don't have to try to conform to the loudness wars brudda! remember that! It's if is sounds good to you! But if loudness was your goal, than it's good. peace out!

Neobane/InPSYcLe

I thought the vocals fit pretty nice. Buddah has nice flows, he goes in. The beat is really ambient sounding to me, makes me reminisce of the times....ah yea. Big ups for having the beat do that to me. I dig it, nice collab. peace out!

Neobane/InPSYcLe

Hmph you ain't gonna find no "gentle" man where i'm from. ha World too harsh for all that gentle ish and over kindness. But like what you got so far, sounds like some country ish for some reason. I expect people to square dance to this soon LOL i dunno. I just get that vibe. keep working. peace out!

Neobane/InPSYcLe

I like the violin melody in this. The techno like thump kick doesn't fit to me however. Kind of competes with the other sounds. I like the arpeggiated synth though, makes it more trance when that comes on. More of a mix of genres. This has nice potential though, would of liked to hear more done with it. solid track. peace out!

Neobane/InPSYcLe

Very nice brudda. I'm digging this one alot. Makes me want to finish up my chill out type of tracks....and maybe a techno type of track of mine! haha hmmm yea i think what song i want to finish right now. But awesome track man. really good. peace out!
