Originally posted by chris marsh Really cool vibe! Sounds mechanical and quite cold, like it Imo this is a bit thin in the 500 - 2k range, (where the wood block type percusison sits) Could do with another layer there The fx are really cool, love the bass I think you need more stereo width in the main body of the track, not sure how you would achieve this with a minimal sound, perhaps try panning similar sounds (ie pair of hats) hard left and right for example You could make Synth sounds wider with plug ins or HAAS (pan hard left and right and delay one side by a few MS) Voxengo sound delay is good for this. loads of other great free plugs here, MSED and SPAN both awesome http://www.voxengo.com/group/free-vst-plugins/ I also feel like the mid bass layer needs more aggression Maybe try splitting into several bands and distorting some to bring out the harmonics? All just IMO of course

thanks rodri and thanks chris - yeah it needs some work, i listened last night on my itouch and it needs a bit more low mids, there is a sound playing there but its too low so i can bring that up a bit - will experiment with moving the bassline up 1 octave as well

Got something interesting sounding already Paul - like those Industrial sounding elements in your production man and with some more cleaning up in mixing stage (adding dynamics) you definitely would get something worth sending around my friend.

For your reference please check this guy (know him for some time) - his is producing something similar to your style and have some great dynamics in his tracks:

I listened to all the tracks you posted lately but i am too tired now to write down anything, about Chris Marsh's track just say that i found it very neat with a good melody and few advice i could give about it...

Tomorrow i'll comment about the rest Darek etc... better than writing on a hurry.

Started this today and got it more or less established, needs some risers, vocal loops and a tweak on the little breakdown at the end of this clip but you can see where i am going already, comments critiques are welcome.

Ok so my humble opinion :-)

There were elements I enjoyed but it did get a bit repetitive however I appreciate that "risers, vocal loops and a tweak on the little breakdown" will address that.

I would love to hear some sort of melody in there somewhere, unless that's not your style? I didnt know whether the top note (the consistent high note) was intentionally off key? If not I would suggest that you bring it down two noted from D# to C# but add in the odd departure from that. I liked the stuff around 4:10. 3:40 nearly blew my ears off :-).

Apart from that, not bad for one days work.

Now for my feeble addition to the WIP pile, my current project, a few evenings in.

My pre opinion of this is that most thigs will not survive in the current state, will likely change the bass and the lead...well everything, but i'm pretty sure the melody will be similar :-)

Opinions appreciated, never really put anything out there!

(Due to the lack of mastering lol I would request that this is listened to with headphones for now lol)

Alright, Here goes one more time, hope is the last. I changed from A major scale to f-Major. I changed the breakdown melody. Took out a note in the pads so that they are in key with the choirs. I changed the first two leads to F and i guess thats almost it. If you spot any errors let me know and i'll give it the fix.

Well I like it very much dude, but it's on here for opinions I guess so I will give mine :-)

3:28 when the strings/choir or whatever comes in, i hear you alternating G, F, G, F etc etc, to me it would sound better holding the F and alternating a C, A, C, A above it. There seem to be some conflicting main notes in each of the different elements, very subtle I know but noticeable.

I like the uplifting bassline, have been meaning to do something like this myself

Srry I didn't think my opinion would be much value since i have little skill on theory. Sounds groovy, nice bass, good kick. I like the intro lead at 0:20

Can you tell me at what point you hear the conflicting notes. I'm trying to train my ear for melodies. Thank you man, I appreciate it.
