I like this theme, but I really think you should, develop a little more. It's a good start anyway ....

hhhhmmm...grime is still something that is growing on me ....
you say you've left head room for those vocals but you can show case you talent by leaving room for other people because those vocals might never come alot and then all you left with is a weak track...if you get me?
for me you have got to layer up your bass with at least three copies of the same track.. one low like a sub...one mid...one top...mix 'em together and you got a thick bassline brother...
I would do a similar thing with the drum track...layer up those kicks and snares....
anyway.... I would say you might benefit from checking out this guy
I know what you mean when speaking about the weak track if the vocals don't go to well. so far on the bassline i've only mixed in two instrument tracks, as you said above its only the middle and high section thats playing prominently throughtout in this version. was having trouble with my sub-bass as it was clashing with my kick. i've solved the problem today though by tightening up the kick so it's alot harder hiting between 100k & 130k (anything else is shelfed out) i've added a seperate kick track with a little tad of reverb and an expander on the middle frequencies so it fills the gaps. my sub-bass is side chained with the seperate kick track to add a more aggresive pumping feel.
OdotZed has some tasty tunes fair play to him.
This is my first attempt at a grime genre song so it's a learning curve for me... Thanks for the review, you've pointed out some flaws that I will need to address for sure. All the Best, GB13
Cheers mate, Vocals may take a while unfortunately. recording with a simple sm58 isn't enough for me so i'm waiting until I return to uni to use the studios for a better sound. which in the mean time means,I have plently of time to concentrate on the mix
easy listening, very chill and relaxin sounds. The guitar is sweet. Loved the arrangement and coordination of eevrything, you have a nice touch when it comes to order. Again, the guitar was oh so sweet! Loved it, nothing I can add to suggest to enhance, i think its perfect....
hey gareth, thought i'd stop by and check out some of your work. i love it ! as you know im well into my acoustic stuff, and this small but perfectly formed tune is no exception. might have to collab once i get my internet up and running if you fancy it ? keep up the good work
Aii an acoustic collab would be nice to do, i'm liking the R&B sounds right now so i'm interested in exploring that genre a lot more to. after hearing AllenV and SpellJammer's collab on "Time For Change" I'm itching to try something like this :) Unfortunately my audio interface has died recently at a time when I can't afford a new one, for at least a month or two so theres no way i can record any guitar parts at the mo :(
Really likng this piece, excellent guitar work, had me right from the very first note, everything sounding very clear, oh it stopped :( just getting into it, oh well, mate love what you have done so far, this is one I think you should finish as it sounds great...fav'd on what I have heard so fars...Peace....Estefano...
Man nice work here with this one, great panning mate, nice beat, excellent guitar, very clear, arrangement is sweet, nothing to fault here at all, extremely good listen...Thank you for sharing man...Fav'd...Peace n Respect...Estefano....
dig yr list of production issues - but i gotta say from my humble listening perspective this is nothing less than bliss - incredible and groovy music - much much respect
Man you need to finish this piece off, brilliance comes to mind when hearing this, great guitar, pecusion and beat good too, agree with the comment about vocal, vocal would send this to another level, fav'd on the little bit I have heard, very enoyable listen matey...Peace n Respect...Estefano...
Thank you for your Review mate, For this piece originally... i Wrote it for me and four of my friends to perform as a band for a night but we never did an acoustic set(played metal instead if my memory serves me correctly :P) What i Have down here is only about a 1/3 of what i'd Written all togethor, time revising for exams etc threw me off course and i've never really thought of finishing it until recently. I'm thinking of recording the entire thing with proper acoustic dedicated microphones when i return to uni. Long as nothing else comes up along the way I should get a full song (even with some vocals) by the end of october :) Many thanks ELSD for reviewing some of my other material as well
c'mon ya big daffodil...get this one finished! so not fair bringing such a brilliant piece of gweetar to the party and not finishing it...totally leaves lemmings like me in the lurch waiting with baited breath for the next installment. The wee tad of reverb almost gives this a harpsichord type of feel doesn't it?? Dude a melody, vocals, something added to this and you got yourself a really nice song...as it is nice feel and nice mix to the sound......enjoy ibiza but make it a priority to finish this when you get back to taffy land.
Hi GB13, really feeling the vibe and live playing on this track. It will sound awesome with a melody line or vocal just to finish this off.. Sometimes less is best!
