delayed warning - need feedback

[Dave Arbiter]

aside from 5+ years of djing, i've only been hard at producing for about 5+ months... here's one of the tracks i'm working on currently, i need some outside feedback

i know its RA, but my encoder for mp3s ran out so i can't post mp3 up until i can get another encoder.

its one of my first tracks, so lay it on me -- i can take the beating

[Dave Arbiter]

updated: bass synth, kick, ride, n fx

i got hooked with an mp3 encoder.. so here's the mp3 for those who chose not to hear lowered quality media

this is very good to say you have only been at it 5 months+. not very keen on sci-fi effect that enters on the break and continues throughout though. . the drums are great though, bass is ok too.

[dan the acid man]

i agree with col, it's great, especially considering you have'nt been at it long. the percussion has got a great groove to it, the only thing's i dont like is the kick need's more bottom end in it and i agree on the sci-fi noise, i would personally use a different lead synth and have the sci-fi sound coming in and out of the mix every now and then

[Dave Arbiter]

yea i worked hard on those drums -- i see what you mean by no bottom end - i believe i added a deeper bassline in the mp3 version .. maybe i need to turn it up or compress it more

heh i liked that sci-fi sound, i actually made that sound from scratch lol maybe i'll play around with it and distort it more or just find something else that might counter-act it and make it sound more intense or something :hmm:

[dan the acid man]

at the end of the day if you like that sc-fi sound leave it in mate, it's your tune at the end of the day, maybe just throw in a few tweaks on that noise here and there to stop it being too repetetive, one thing i hear alot of produce's do is to add more delay on some of the note's here and there

[networkacid]

I like it (even the sci fi noise! :P) but definitely need bigger kick drum. I love the little filtered edits and drops you use, they really break it up nicely.

[dirty_bass]

Yeah, this is groovy. Lovely relaxed percussion.

The bottom end is weak, I`m guessing your set up is bass heavy and you are over compensating in the mix.

Man, tweak this mutherfukka up and you got a stormer of a track.

maybe add some automation to that scifi sound so it swims around in the mix more.

Class.

visit itunes.com it has a free mp3 encoder! :)

[steelgrooves]

Whats up Dave ? Its RJ from Austin.I dig that track especially the perc. Some nice writing. Like said above tweak that shit out and it will be a very nice track!

Id play it

[DJVirulent]

I love everything about this track except the ride cymbal. It's a bit too loud in the mix, turn it down a notch. Otherwise, it's great Sims-y techno!

[Dave Arbiter]

thanks for all the kickass feedback. i've already reworked and tweeked some parts of this track out; i'm gonna take this all into consideration and repost up an updated version once i finish it.

i've got 2 more i'm working on as well, i'll make sure i get those posted up when i finish those too. thanks again for the feedback, keep em comin
