Take Me Higher - Tenzi

1st Sep 2010 13:39 - 16 years ago
Description : This is my 2nd attempt at a track in Ableton Live8,

The main body of the drums, bass and synths are all my own programming, there are a few more loops in this track then I would normally use, but, the end results justify their inclusion I think. There is a small part of me that still considers it cheating a little lol :-) .... silly I know as most of today's popular and commercial music is all loop and sample based.

This track was written to be in the middle of a DJ set , you know the ones .. the tracks that you can never remember, yet they make the difference.

I'm quite pleased with it but yet again I think the sound engineering needs a few tweeks My sound set up is not the best and I find it difficult to get the width and depth I'm after! ( practice I suppose !! )

Would love to hear what you think and any tips or advise would be greatly appreciated. Tenz :-)

Hey Tenz

Nice track my friend, liking what you have used here, solid beat and bassline, good arrangement, nice vocal and synths, only thing on that I think you need to have a better lead intro to the piece, as it jumps right out at you, like a grad build up the track at the start,to me I would have put this one into the genre of Techno, as someone said to me when I first started here, Trance is a smoother sounding piece, harder tracks, are normally a Techno tracks, sometimes it is hard to pick the genre, personally I would have gone Techno with this one, but it is what you decide you want it to go in :) But as the other reviewer said, very grovvy energetic piece, just my thoughts my friend, as I said do like the track, thought would try and give you feedback, that is something that has helped me grow, getting feedback about things like what I have mentioned....adding this to favs as I do like what you have done so fars...Peace and respect mate....Estefano....

Thanks for the review Estafano.

totally take your point about the gradual build up to the track. When I wrote the track I kinda had the thought that it would fit into the middle of my Fledgling DJ set so therefore there didn't seem any reason to include a gradual build up as the track would have been mixed in with something similar.

As far as the genre goes, always get a little confused, its my age I guess LOL. But you are right, this harder sound would fit better into the techno genre.

Its always great to hear from mate, any comments are always gratefully received and I always take the comments with the helpfulness and kindness that they were intended.

have a great friday night

Awesome track you've made here, great energy! I love the dance-like groove you gave it with the bass. Excellent choice!

Description : Peace
Peace is something I haven't felt in a while.
Im not talking about the small moments where you feel peaceful.

Im talking about being at Peace. The kind where you sit in the rain/snow, and just...lay there. In the moment where you accept yourself..
