Alrite lads, Anybody got feed back?

[DannyBlack]

alright mate! great idea for a track, i like where its going. I reckon you need to beef up that kick a bit, make it a tad more solid and apparent. Theres some dry sounding elements in there, try and bring them out a little. all in all though, keep at this one, i love it.

[vinvanman]

Cheers Danny for listening to the track

I've started making the kick more boomy, and i'm bring more elements out, i'll post the results.

Thanks

i like it. tracks deffinitelly needs more meat, but what's there sounds pretty nice. cant comment on content as i like it.
as for production, kick needs some boosting, bottom end is now very muddy and out of control. kick fighting with basses on same frequencies.
bit of subtractive eq + layering another kick could help?!
there are nice ideas, so now you just need to find beter sounding place (volume, frequency and reverb wise) for all the sounds you've got there, polish it and you will have wicked track.

[vinvanman]

Thanks for the excellent feed back bloodstar, i need to do a lot of work to get the sound right, this will be a real test to bring it to the next level. i'm off to submerge myself in this track for the rest of the day.

Thanks again for the advice

Vinny.

Quite like this track, pretty twisted synth work and the other elements work well together, but the bottom end needs more balls. Get some power and bite in your kick, was expecting it to kick in somewhere after it first started.
The arrangments pretty good too.......get some beef and drive in the bottom end and this would be a nice twisted banger.

[vinvanman]

Nice one Siege, yea i'm Adding more meat to the bottom end and its making a big difference,

thanks for listening

Vin

[stjohn]

alright vin! ye i like the direction and theres some really solid ideas in there. really playfully twisted.

ahah.. the sample just kicked in. :) it works man.. good stuff.

as the lads said i reckon the kick needs attention as the bottom end is quite low. get some punch in there and that'll get the track rockin a bit more.

listening now - it's kinda there but it's not. the sounds are a bit thin. The kick is definitely not there. Was that your intention? i hear the click of the kick and some sub but that's it. the bass bubbles sound is pretty full on and neads some kind of change up. a lot of sounds are clashing in the mix. This mix suggests to me your listening environment isn't ideal and your monitors are crappy. Apologies for coming across as a bit of a c**t ;)

[vinvanman]

Thanks Rory and Radic for listening, thanks for the feed back. I actually got new monitors, better than what i was using, still just getting used to them. the last monitors i had where crap very bass heavy, i was always turning the bass down. now i need to find the time to sort the track out.

[vinvanman]

Hello everybody,

I've just finished a new mix down of this track, i'm a lot happier with it now, more kick and i've cleaned it up a bit with eq ing.

have a listen let me what yea think.

Thanks,

Vin

Cool track, great start. Sounds like you could use a bit of eq'ing on both your kick and your highs. I would def throw something on your hats to liven them up a bit. Kick wise i would have to say take a look at your compression and/or your eq'ing. Overall good job, keep working at it!

[vinvanman]

Thanks DJPAUZE,

When you say look at compression and/or eq'ing on the kick, do you think its to loud or muddy or maybe to low?

[DannyBlack]

Vin me old mucka. I dig this track mate, great ideas all through. I'm only on headphones at the moment, but that kick sounds beefy.

nice synth work, love the drop at 1:49, and there is a nice bass line there too. The only thing I would change is to bring the acid line out a bit more, there are times in the arrangement that would really befit from this, but there are also times that it sits really well where it does.
