foresense Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Here's something I'm currently working on. I went a little crazy with the production and it's only halfway through just yet. I need some outside critics because I'm a little stuck. Where should this go? Work more on the drums or more on the melodic shit? Something else??

Guest Mrs Jynx Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Really like this when all the melodic layers start to come in - all really interesting lines. Drums are ace - subtle and give the track good flow. All the elements are clear and work really well together. Quite dark in places too which I like.

springymajig Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 I have to admit I don't really like your drum n' bass kinda stuff as much as your more downtempo tracks... but this is pretty sweet. It starts off kinda 'ah yeah' then gets like 'this is nice' and by the time it's at it's peak it's like 'wow this is pretty damn sweet!' I kinda like songs like that... that just get better and better as they go along. The melody at the end is really really pretty. Nice crisp sounds as usual too.

Guest Chimp Logic Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Wasn't sure where this track was going to go at first...but then you drop the arpeg and melodic material over the burning beats...very tasty. This has a very sexy-sinister vibe to it. That main melody line kills. Tres cool. In all you kept this track very interesting throughout which makes for an enjoyable ride. Thanks for sharing!

Guest androne Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I liked it, the end is nice. overall it seems to have a fantasy film type of theme to it, but thats just my perspective at the moment. sounds good.

foresense Posted January 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Hah fantasy film type, nice. You could be right about that, it was big childhood thing for me.

Guest boo Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 nice, wide sound. in the outro i felt like the beat was going to come back in, probably because it would on most d'n'b tracks (and then go on for another 4 minutes). i reckon this could be about 5 minutes long though.

foresense Posted January 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Hmm dunno, I like it like this. I was thinking about spacing some stuff out, but it didn't work out that well. Thanks.

Guest Promo Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 The beats are my favourite part in this track so far. They rock very nicely! Not totally sure about the musical side of it I think it works but I don't know whether I'm 100% feeling it yet - tis still nice. I get the feeling just on first listen that I'd like a bit more from the musical side of things. Beats rock nicely though. I would certainly boogie to this in a club. There was one note earlier on which needs correcting because its blantantly off key. I'd agree with the others about it being quite dark. Yeah I think come 2 mins it needs some more musical layers maybe to just get that build feeling going.

foresense Posted January 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Pff yeah man, that's difficult. I think I need to get a little more into the software side of things before I dare go deeper into this track, I'm having difficulties with mixing the whole thing. Thanks a lot for the comment :grin: Oh the off-key thing is deliberate, but I don't think I worked it through enough.

Guest (F) Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 i quite enjoyed it. the drums at the beginning - first minute - i think really set a nice mood. a very nice mood. great drum/ melody separation. when you cut the drums man oh man.the arpeg is pretty cool as are the held notes after that small section ends. then the breakdown. this is where the song loses some steam for me. when you bring it back you dont bring it back bigger than you brought it in in the first place. i would use that main D#/D/G riff in the breakdown. then bring in similar beats like at the start. with the cuts. then break the rest until the cool down. ha what do i know. great stuff though.

foresense Posted January 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I hear you, im trying to make my music last a little longer, but all i do is make it more complex which makes it a really difficult to do long tracks. im getting there though!

Guest Gump Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 (edited) liking this at first listen brought a smile to my face which is always a good sign nice beats but i also like the last minute of the track when the beats go away good work as usual man Edited January 30, 2006 by Gump Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/1972-subtle-ray/#findComment-70657 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iep Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 thanks for the track forlorn! i liked it quite a lot. the melodic side was lovely (that off-key note was a nice detail, hehe) but i really liked the beats too.. it all worked together nicely.. great flow.. it kinda reminded me of squarepusher's square window EP.. but with this weird sentimental mood... meer van dit soort shit graag! :grin: Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/1972-subtle-ray/#findComment-70913 Share on other sites More sharing options...
