Chemical Reaction Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Sounds like old Talamasca, nice job keep working on the track. I would like to hear the finished version. I read a Talamasca interview the other day and I found this kind of inspiring "I promised myself to stay always more “musical” than “noisy”..." Maybe I felt some of that in your track. If you are interested I posted the link to the full interview below. http://www.brainmachines.com/interviews.html Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cybernetika Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Heya, just got back. Now commenting on your updated version. Nice intro, very trippy synth you got there, I just love it. The cymbal (?) Sound at 0:50 is a good idea but I think it sounds too upfront. Maybe make it a bit shorter in itself. Anyway, nice melody line at 1:42, very trippy, but I think the synth sounds somehow very hollow, I think that was your intention but you could make it a bit warmer. And yeah, it sounds indeed pretty much like Talamasca. The production was very nice. Sounded almost professional, I think youre on a very good way ... so when are YOU gonna sign a label?

xiphiaz Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 Wow thanks I'm on the stuff you mentioned right now cybernetika. And thanks for saying it sounds like Talamasca He's one of my favourite artists! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyfi.co.uk Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Like your FX sounds they are well done. The bass line nice but the bass sound could be a little tighter. maybe some compression. The Kick sound is good but its alittle to quiet in the mix in relation to the bass. You could bring this up or push everything else down in volume or just meet in the middle some where. It dosn't sound like the kick and bass are shareing any of the same eq space so you should have plenty of room to adjust the kick volume without to much worrie. That the only thing constructive I have to say. The rest of the tune is wicked. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it up. 249735[/snapback] Thanks =) But I didn't quite understand what you meant with "the track's quality". You mean overall, the sounds, the melodies or what?

xiphiaz Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 Been working a bit on the track again, having in mind some of the things you've all pointed out to me here =) http://rexz.monoworld.ath.cx/music/xiphiaz...danaboy%202.mp3 Feel free to comment and such as usual (; Thanks!

dj mylo Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Your bassline is like a juicy piece of prime beef! And it seems you have a truly original 16 bassline melody there. Which is a rarity these days! The bass sound is fat and well defined. Pray tell how you achieved this wonder of the bottom end?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-scream Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Nice! Tight production and pretty good song, not ground breaking though melodies at 1:44, 3:20 are really sweet, nice old-school touch.. but IMO I'd like these melodies to evolve rather than the boring stuff re-entering at 3:52.. Not sure what type of sound you're trying to reach for though, typical full-on/old-school-inspired/etc ? lycka till Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the evolution of the melodies later on in the song: I'm on it. This was a closed project until recently (: I'm not really striving for any typical sound, it turns out the way it does more or less. Och tackar så mycket (: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What synth are you using for your bass? If you don't mind me asking ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind me asking ? 250777[/snapback] Hehe not at all, I'm using reason and thus I'm using the subtractor with a tb-synth preset, tweaked and knobed of course =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subsonik Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Very nice sound you got outa reason there, I'm well impressed. And might I too say - very Talamasca-ish. Nice work m8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.I.V.R.A. Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 great sounds and i like your bassline the most but it is a few minuts to short and Perhaps your can add few melodic sounds, because it sounds very good.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skakaka Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Nice powerfull sound ! Maybe too much compressed... it should be more deep, if you know what I mean. Wich equips are you using ??? (vst, synths, ++) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time_Trap Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 nice bassline and the melody is nice, but i think you should variate it more because it gets repetitive.. also add some fx as someone else also said . Reason 3 ? btw... Compression before EQing or EQing before Compressin?[in the final mix] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
