Originally posted by TranceLover007 Very nice work Richard, you got something special going on in there mate - as far as any suggestion (structurally) I would cut 1:31~2:02 part out of this WIP and the rest is pretty good to go - really nice flow man. EDIT: Actually I would cut 1:15~2:05 exact lol. Darek

Right so a couple of you say cut out that first break but but but are you sure?

Wouldn't then people think it was to samey not having this first break too?

Do you think it's 'correct' to have only one break - I hope so in a way as I find double breaks SUCH A BORE to make!

I think this is better work from you as it has more of a dance feel to it and the kik is good. I personally think there should be times when it reverts just to a stripped back kick and bass otherwise it sounds too samey all through

Honestly, I'd keep the first break and cut the second one. The first break was the best part of the entire track.

Ha, just goes to show we all have such a divergence of taste eh.

I guess I ought to go with my own gut on this - as I've been advised to many times before.

I am also pondering Dareks advice to add a pluk in drop 2 - that's the sort of thing I would naturally do but I'm also mindful I get a lot of feedback saying I over-do tracks.

Mmmm decisions

That is ultimately the point: if it sounds good to you, then it's right, no matter what anyone else says.

Hi Richard,

at least for me this wasn't your first break (didn't feel that way) - rather then your transition from intro to main part of your track - you have a lot of fx going on in this production to compensate for luck of regular breaks (and I like that way, make this track more interesting) so ultimately decision is yours and I can only offer my personal preferences/view on this beauty.

Cheers,

Darek

Originally posted by Mr.Mystery Come to think of it, it's not really that similar. I don't know what the hell this is, to be honest.

This is potentially very cool. I'm maybe wanting to hear a bit more groove in the bassline, or something. I'm not sure. There's some Orb DNA in here. I would definitely keep working on this one.

Originally posted by gordan100 Thanks! Here's a bit longer version with different piano sound, same melody though, last chord slightly modified. Yeah, maybe i should try some more, but didn't come up with anything better yet.

I like this. Bass is unusual but it works. I'm feeling the gated pad would benefit from some lush reverb to sit it back in the mix a little.



After what seems like ages just dicking about with hardware. I remembered software.

Thanks. I've completed the original mix now, and plan on doing a couple of different takes on it. There's something strange about this track that makes me love it more than my other recent work, even though technically it's much, much simpler.
