Unlock Your True Potential

Been messing around with this for a couple of weeks but I dunno - too long? Boring? Fuck knows.

I like it as it is!

Very unique style! nice!!!!

I like the concret style perc in the opening, and the turn it takes halfway is nice. I like where it goes from there. The vocal sample is a nice touch though perhaps mixed a little loud near the end. Reminds me a bit of that Panthu Du Prince collab with Bell Laboratory, but less acoustic sounding.

Really like how it flows. Pretty unique as said already!

Thanks folks, hadn't heard that Pantha Du Prince track before - like it. Yeah that vocal is a tad loud, cheers.

really nice stuff. a lot of different sections and they all work well. i like the percussive elements in a lot of your work. personally i'd back off the reverb (volume/presence) in general and particularly on certain elements on the section around 1:50.

the reverb is usually very prominent in your tracks and it sounds like you may use a global reverb when mixing? i'd keep a lot of elements a little drier but this is a personal preference and you may like it this way as a stylistic choice.

very nice my dude.

Very valid point mate. I do use a lot of reverb (especially D16 Toraverb which is lush) and it gets a bit muddy as a result. I also tend to use to many layers, which has the same result. I like that feeling is space, or the sense of someone performing in a room, but it's a fine line to tread imo - plus it's a bit of a cheap way of masking my sucky mixing skills. Gonna stick to this arrangement and dial a few things back, see how it sounds.

Really digging this! I agree that it's a bit muddy in parts, but I do like the verb quite a bit, so maybe some automation of the dry/wet controls might ease things up a bit. But I love the progression and the beat, I feel like I could get lost in this. Especially the first two minutes, wow!
