on Dg U-Mo - Bounce Tribe Dub (Old Skool Remix) by DGUMO
That being said, I do happen to like your strings and synth lines. It's a pretty decent riddim. My tips would be, slow it down. effect the drums so as to give them BIG space. verbs on the snares, maybe some slight doubling delay on the hihats etc. It's a real straight forward hip hop style beat, but if you could play with the tempo and effects on the individual drums, it could skank.
Also look for a place in the sequence where you could add a skank piano plink or a guitar chord in a reggae style. Think upbeat stabs with long echoing delays. I say go forward on this track, more space in between and bigger effects! werd em up!

nice werk
on LGC- GOA (Lifecycle) by DonnieVyros
And I agree, I'm thinking we could take the lead into trying to encourage people to make more different kinds of music on here. Not just with Goa, but with a variety of genres.
In fact, check out my latest collab challenge on here (about indo-chinese grooves). I want it all, baby, haha.
Oh, and be on the look out with this song, coz I honestly wanna go back & mix it more before this weekend.
As for collabin, will def letcha know. Later on!

on Risen (Updated version) by Faketrix
Here's my next tip to help take this to another level. That'd be to seperate the drums out on separate tracks, then start sdding in different effects to each drum, ie. a flanger on that tom/bongo sound or a filter to add some shuffles to the his. cutoff pass filter.... phaser or simply delay.
keep it going

on Warpa by LabRatzProduction
Good good 4x4 , but to cross it up some try and do this, take 4 bar measures, split the bass synth into 4 distinct variations (1 w/ cutoff set low, 1 set high, 1 w/ extra saw, 1 w/ -1 octave lower) Not divide each of those sounds 4 ways across that 16 bar bassline! man you did do a pretty nice job on it. I'm halfway tempted to help you lay a few pads and pluck synths lines init.
Nice job m8! Let's collab on some Bassline sometime...
As for the collab, I'd love to, just hit me up.
Good tips, the variations you're suggesting could really work well!
Thanks again.

on Bassline Instrumental by LabRatzProduction
You got a great feel init, but lemme help you out here and again. Screw them gun sounds - - dun dun in 2009. Your bass is killin it, but I wanna here your sounds now, not a sample CD. Drumline is tite! Could go up another 10-15 bpm in my opinion, but whatev.
I lied this track, but man I wanna hear more. The mastering levels need some work init too, but overall a pretty sweet go so far. You want tips on programming your own synths for UK bassline just let Jah Know know.
Bless! Keep em rollin'
on Swiming Pool by stayr
Only thing I might change would be the lead bass synth that peeks in towards the end.
good 1!

on Yall not ready by SunnyStJames
I'd say this has awesome potential for a dark club tune. A bit of mix in the drums to crunch em up a lil. The guitar kinda competes with em right now, I think there are some filtering things you could do now to make this 1 screeeam!
on Bm Beats__Dance and Baseline Mixed by ayan
Now, here'd be my tip for joo, just to drive this inna diff direction just a lil. Try using a diff sound for your pad synth, maybe something a bit more stabby and less stringy? The long release pad seems kind too trancey for this pumping beat? If that makes sense. The progression is tops and the vocal sample is tite. Extend the whole piece 2-3x put inna a 2nd drop and go back to look at that envelope filter on the bass, see if you can't dial in a bigger wop wop on the hits!
Ok I lissned 3x so I must've liked it?! :D
on The Ugly Organist by Chud37
This was another good weird use of some 'almost' ethnic sounding sequences along with a strung out organ step. Kinda felt like I was watching a crazy circus act in a tiny big top tent.
you know what I mean right?
