Im so used to hearing the original that now this feels like everything happens to quickly, but I do agree that the original was long. Does it feel rushed now? Thanks,

I never heard anyone like this, your style is unusually really good. The kick is awesome just like my kicks and it gets nice and shiny in the middle. Just Awesome man. You planning on releasing this when its done?

Thanks for the kind words guys.

This is why getting advice and suggestions is critical, it helps to question your own decisions and helps you see things from another perspective, which is exactly what I needed after hearing the origianl 4 million times. So thank you to everyone who gave me their thoughts, etc. It still needs work but for now i'll step away, work on something else (break balls here again!), then come back to this tune with fresh ears at a later date.

To be honest im really just doing these songs for my own pleasure. As most of you are probably aware I come from a classical and rock background and im happy with what I have achieved in those areas, and by achieved I simply mean, writing, recording and getting it finished! Basicaly having something to show for your hard work.
I just want to have 6 to 10 good electronic songs fully completed to the best of my ability that I can maybe show my kid one day.

I wouldnt even know where to begin if I was wanting to release a song in the electronic world. I have plenty of experience and contacts in the rock/metal scene but im new to all this here. I dont know if things are done the same way. I suppose i'll cross that bridge if I ever get to it.

thanks again guys,

An all round good idea. Loved when the bass came in at 56 seconds, I was tapping my feet right away, this part is the track for me. I would rethink the choice of top end rhythm elements, to me they sound very transient heavy, very spikey. Your main bass sound also has a spikey transient heavy front edge but it really suits it and sounds good. I would let it shine and choose other softer top end rhythm elements. Also, it seemed at times the timing between these elements seemed to a little off and clashing.

You are from the same city my dad was born in, are you a Boca fan?

Thanks man, great input. I will take some time off the track to approach it with a fresh perspective. As you said feedback helps a lot. Good we can help each other.

Nice track, very dark but I like it. Bass could be a bit stronger for my liking.

Its not bad at all, but you need to get rid of that percussive sound with the funny timing, it messes everything up.

Some harder trance here..

Its like the main idea I guess, its as about as far as I ever seem to get. Maybe I should collab with jp so he can make me an intro



Another Idea but not as hard

Thats exactly what ive been thinking, its not as powerfull/strong as it should be. If I get a chance today im gonna try to layer it with something that will reinforce it to give it the power it needs. See how we go.

thanks

Originally posted by MSZ Some of your best work, nice.

have to agree, this is good shit Darek - the little build in the break is where its at for me

i would bring that break forward 16, or else mix it with, dare i say it, a riser LOL......but something anyway as it feels like 16 bars extra in there

the emotion is just right without being cheesy, right amount of vox and nice vox too, nice one!

p.s. possibly cut a small bit of lowmid from the vox? it sounds almost too upfront but its not far off for me, its probably ok to leave it

the leads are very loud on those Andy, not much groove going on so its hard to listen to them
