You've got so much cool stuff going on in there... i'd lose the 909 hats and invent something to replace it if even needed... it's got legs and full of energy.

1:11 = this line is very out of character and doesn't sit well - nor the second time.

The drums and that dirty bassline really give the track attitude, i'd spend sometime working on some jungalist breaks and keep that shock factor going.

To my ears - you've got kicking rhythms, but then try to make a leadline work when the drums are really taking this baby along.

Thanks for that!

The Mysterious Miss Terry - Who could it be?

The track needs to be a little faster I'd say & is probably in requirement of some hi freq stabs / melody etc.. just to break it up a little.

What did you use to make it?

oh i should stick up that track here when i get it onto soundcloud.

thanks man, it's sort of odd that for such a laid back track it has a slamming kick but for some reason it works.

ICN · 09-06-2009 6:36pm

Yeah.. it sounds like Tresor!!

I'm A/B'ing a bunch of different tracks here on a CD.. just to see what something I'm working on sounds like through the stereo.

Jeesus.. Had to run over to the Volume when Books came on!!

Yeah.. Liking that, espcially the Reverb on the word Sick.

That Bedlam Track is cool. Bass rising up was a nice touch.

Listening on crap headphones on the Laptop here.. Whats the dealio with the Bass on that one?

Is it sitting under the Kick?

Is it just one big synth, or a couple of things layered up?

jtsuited · 11-06-2009 9:33am

bass on which one icn?

ICN · 11-06-2009 1:53pm

Apologies JT - The Bedlam one Mate.

jtsuited · 11-06-2009 1:58pm

think there's 2 main basses going on.

it's one normal sub line. We chopped it up to give it that chugging thing.
Then there's a simple off beat bass too.

Really like that one Sean.

What about introducing a new sound - a real crazy hi-pitched sound - rising up with it getting released as it goes..

When it kicks back in, put the release back down to where it was @ the beginning.. & then start her up all over again :cool:

Obvious one. A bit stereotypical too - but still great!

DarkJager · 13-06-2009 10:56pm

My new one

I haven't got the mastering fully sorted out yet, so its a bit mono, but any feedback on the structure or suggestions for improvements are much appreciated. Cheers lads

From a first impression listening, the first bass instrument sounds too weak. I think you were trying to offset that by having this really big saw bass then in the next section but the difference is too great I feel. Its too loud and sits over everything else in the rest of the song. I think you could find a happy medium by having the first bass sound a bit brighter and louder and then toning down the bass that fills the rest of the track.

So i had a small window of tme where i had the apt free to myself and decided id try finish this one.
It actually took on a life of its own and im really pleased with how it turned out.
Totally different from the link posted above.
its a rough mixdown,some of the synths are a bit wide and need there own space in the mix but hopefully ill get it sorted next time i get a free apt for a few hours.

anyway,feedback appreciated

A slow, trip-hop-y style track, more notable for the backwards piano and other effects coming in and out. I'm especially proud of the creepy sounding choir that comes in before the main riff and beat starts, I sampled it from a recording a friend did and messed around with it a bit. Also some nice delayed guitar effects.

I've released the album this track is taken from on iTunes, so if you like please check out the rest of the album (and maybe buy a track or two!). The album is called The Sounds of Geisha, by Geisha.

I have to say, that was a very interesting piece of music. I liked it a lot.

I really like this track, its beautiful and right down my street. It sounds nice and warm and organic. It would be right at home on a Leaf records comp.

Hey all,

Been a while since I've been on here (can't remember my user names etc. etc.).

Here's a track I was working on www.myspace.com/ctrlofficial (yeah,yeah I know the official bit is taking the piss, got the idea from Shane Barry & The Distractions).

I'd have more tracks up except some bastards broke into my house on Wednesday night and nicked my laptop with all my stuff on it, oh and the two hard drives and two flash drives and oddly the cd's that I had all my work backed up onto (besides many other things)!!!!

Anyway feed back appreciated!!!!

flyswatter · 19-06-2009 8:59pm

Here's my latest track. It's called Glitchy Baby and I'm continuing my current trend of producing short tracks, it's around a minute long. Here it is anyway, feedback is much appreciated.

By the way, you don't have to download the song to listen to it. It streams from the address above.

seannash · 22-06-2009 3:24pm

Alright folks.

been working on this new one for the past 3 days.

http://www.zshare.net/audio/617105825dd7fc86/

be interested to hear what you guys think,especially when it comes to the melodic part.

feedback appreciated

SteveDon · 22-06-2009 4:39pm

Drums are sweet as usual with your tracks. Not really the kind of thing id be into wen it comes to the breakdown, very nice melody tho, fairplay. Id probably change the pad sound a bit its a bit too stringy for me, the stabs are cool, i think adding a bit more shuffle to the track could make it a bit better.

Other than that its a sweet idea to build on, keep up the good work sean!

Cheers dude! Gonna re record it during the week, theres a bit of a hiss at the start of the track, hence why i faded it in on myspace. Ill send you on a link!

jtsuited · 22-06-2009 4:57pm

good stuff. feckin hell man, great to see people making tracks of that quality on here.

That link doesnt seem to be working man, comes up as "Oops looks like we cant find that track"

jtsuited · 22-06-2009 5:08pm

really? it's workin for me.hold on

edit: fixed i think. had it set to private

SteveDon · 22-06-2009 5:26pm

Yeah i thought that was it.

But yeah man as per usual youve got me drooling over your production quality, all your tracks have that polished sound that i find really hard to achieve.

The vocals samples are really cool, and i especially like that droney bass. Left you a few timed comments which are really only a matter of preference.

i think its cool when you hear a track and you know who produced it straight away, think youve definitely got your own style going man, remember us when your famous!

thanks man. tbh i was having a real tough few weeks lately doing tracks. And then I finally lost it and decided 'fcuk this, i'm gonna do things my way'. Glad i did now as I'm quite happy with that track (although i think i can get a better mix out of it).

Regarding the polish thing, you're not the first person to say that. Even labels get back to me sometimes declining a track but saying 'what are you using to mix the stuff etc.?'.

Weird really, because I try to de-polish my tracks as much as I can. I actually think mixing is my weakest link right now. My dad and grandad were both mix engineers so I guess I sort of grew up with mixing being the family business so to speak.

I think it's hilarious when I see all the lads over in the production forum going on about this plugin, that plugin, this compressor, that compressor etc. I used all the nicest hardware ever built when I was growing up and NOTHING comes close to what you can achieve in the box these days with Logic and even the bundled plugins. I use the most minimal setup (in fact it's getting smaller every month).

Btw, I think your stuff is genuinely phenomenal (and I'm not one for compliments). If I were you I'd stick to your hardware focused setup but then do all your mixing and mastering in logic after you've tracked all the audio. Think you'd be getting the best of both worlds then.

Anywho, thanks for the kind words, much appreciated!

thanks man.
yea i definitely dont think the melodic part will be everyones cup of tea but it just kinda happened that way.
definitely agree the track needs just that little bit more groove for it to work too.

just got a listen t yours now(friggin myspace acting up)loving the bass in it and the stabs are really nice.
cant wait to hear the rerecorded version

SteveDon · 22-06-2009 7:06pm

cheers dude will send you on a link when its done

yeah man your the perc master as far as i can see, im sure youll be able to add a bit more groove to that track no bother!

ha ha ha.i actually wish i didnt have to rely on them so much for getting my groove down.
im always in awe at the guys who ca make a track groove with just some hats and one perc.i think i over do it with mine.

definitely wanting a link when its done and for god sake man send it out to a label:D

Dragan · 23-06-2009 1:42pm

My second effort at making a Dubstep track. Hopefully i have implemented lessons learned based off the advice of people on here.

Also, big thanks to Neurojazz who is most likely going to recognise a lot of the drum hits i used. :pac:

Anima · 23-06-2009 3:46pm

Pretty cool Dragan, good atmosphere from the track. The synths work well together, the only think I would say is the drums don't have enough impact.

DJ SC · 26-06-2009 1:11pm

please check out my dubstep and dnb tunes an tell me what you think.
