HappyHorse Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Not bad, the only thing I miss is that your idea's would be worked out more into detail (with also a original sound). But the flow, mixing,... sounds good mate! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recursion loop Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Thanks! TBH, i'm now at the stage of my self-education when I'm trying to copy others, so I'm more concerned about mixing and technical stuff than about original ideas. Hope when I get enough technical knowledge it will be easier for me to develop something original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antic604 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 As usual, great tune! My thoughts: - loved the intro, although wanted it to go longer before the kick kicks in, - hate the echoing crash rides, sorry - from 2:00 on it's marvellous - very wide and broad, love that low counterpoint 'drone' that comes in at around 2:30 (although it would sound better 1/16 or 1/8 sooner, I think?) - 4:00 - 5:00 is pure bliss, with that Cosmosis-style vocoded lead; it only misses more 'dense' hihats to give it more energy maybe? - 6:30 for a second I was scared you'll go into triplets there :-O - the finale is somewhat less energetic than the middle part? For my money it's because it misses some gating on the sounds (they're all flowing, long, etc.), which - I find - helps creating energy. My 0.02$. Sorry if I'm being to anal about it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recursion loop Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 - 4:00 - 5:00 is pure bliss, with that Cosmosis-style vocoded lead; it only misses more 'dense' hihats to give it more energy maybe? Extactly what was planned - i also thought that this section needs more hats to support the groove, tried various patterns but failed to make it fit, so decided to leave it as is. Btw funny that you mention Cosmosis - there is another vowel-like lead here which I made after reverse-engineering some Cosmosis patches for Virus, I even named the patch and the track in my DAW "cosmosis" - the finale is somewhat less energetic than the middle part? For my money it's because it misses some gating on the sounds (they're all flowing, long, etc.), which - I find - helps creating energy. I hear you. I wanted some kind of transition from "intence" to "atmospheric". Will think about this part. That's not the final arrangement, like my other tracks it is "95% ready will finish it when I feel like to" - 6:30 for a second I was scared you'll go into triplets there :-O Triplets are planned for the next track I'm being to anal about it Thanks! that's very helpful actually!
