Demo tune

Er, yeah this a demo of a tune I've been making. Please give me your thoughts even if they critical.

idioUntitled- Sleep Demo.mp3.mp3]

well i almost didn't listen past 30 seconds but i was patient. i was thinking it needed another element during the intro. when the kick came in i started cracking up though because i wasn't expecting it. it's obvious you have programming skills but I would like to see you take some of these techniques and make something more musical with it. as it stands it seems more like a technical exercise than anything else.

I'm curious how you do the rolls. They don't sound handmade... are they?

I love the stereo synth with delay on it, that shit is class.

You hit the nail on the head man, the whole of the intro is to test out some sample mod that I discovered.

Yeah, all the rolls are hand made- it takes surprisingly little time once you get into it....

I'll upload another song in a couple of days, I just need to make a final edit of it...

Oh, i know, i do them by hand as well. Yours just sounded different, like they had a "timestretchy" (for lack of a better term) quality. You leave notes a little longer than the retrig rate? Unquantized drills? Those are just two things i'm not doing myself off the top of my head. Honestly i'm asking because they sound a bit like clean plasticy afx\spusher drills. I'm being a huge nerd for even lingering on "drill character" i guess.

Cool song btw. I hate the first half but then it really gets there.

hmmm, this song has loads of drills in but i assume the ones you're talking about are reverse bouncing ball type ones? I can tell you how to make them but can you tell me what prog. you use first because it's easier to explain it in relation to a specific program.

Peace, thanks for the kind words

nah, not those mate. the simple straightforward ones that dominate the latter half of the track.

Oh right, most of them are made by stretching then reversing the stretch back on itself.

was nice once it got going, needs a few more elements to make it more memorable though

the part from 00:51 to 1:42 is absolutely wicked!!!! sounds like detroit electro + that drum & bass track by afx and squarepusher. that synth is gold! i hate the repetitive cowbell rush though. i would love to get a wav of this minus the cowbell rushes!

listenig live ... sounds like gwen stefani is gonna start singng about bananas any minute.... pots and pan rushes.... nice ride cymbal... 1:20 in losing interest. it's just gone all wobbly and slightly underwater. ride cymbal comes back.... . not a lot of stuff happening other than snare rushes which are a bit too loud and overbearing for me without actually being that interesting. oh it ended. oh no it didn't. that's a drastic change. oh no that's another track. yeah. hmmmm. dunno. thought it was gonna do something when it went underwater but instead it just went ooh give us a snare rush and ended. and i don't like your chosen snare drum (im fussy)
