some nice ideas brother.... the intro works really well but I can't help the feeling that it's just tac'd on with blu tac ya know?
really you need to pick an element from the intro and continue to run it through the track... whether it be something thats already there or something you add to give it texture..it would work ...promise...
I would also say that you low mid end is a little muddy but as this is a rough cut I'll let that go....
like I say some nice ideas brother...would be nice to hear it when you get the track done....
thanks fam!
i understand how you might feel about tha intro
but those particular lyrics is what inspired to
make this track and tha fact that it's in korean
doesn't help either :P so understood ;) hehehehe
tha low end i will def' touch up as i finish
this track :)
hopefully it'll sound great when it's finished~
THANKS FOR THA GREAT REVIEW
it never hurts to have someone with GOOD
ears give some constructive criticism :D
hehehehe ;)
yes i know this song was the hardest to master out of all pieces so far. i remastered it 4 times and ray koefoed did once as well. this version was rays remaster. i may try again soon maybe a middle ground between the bassy original and the trebly latter. Its the layering of the bass drone and the drumwork bumping heads. this version is quite trebly though. the synth piece was played quite a few octaves above the rest so that didnt help either.
some nice smooth grooves... perfect for this summer weather...
I think every one here would like someone to add vocals to at least one of their tracks....
some of that filtering clips slightly...maybe you need to bring it back rein it in a bit you know? I think I would have prefered to have heard a sub sound rather than a filter bass... that might just be me though....
the intro is great but would probably benefit from being a little more sparse it would add a lot more weight to the drop...
I'm liking the synths quality.... the bassline is nice too maybe a tiny bit more variation would be nice... and the same I would say for the drum track...
all in all I did enjoy the listen but for me it ends far too abruptly... maybe work on an outro even if its just fade to black....
wow...angry....hhhhmmmm.... some of your idea belong in the industrial camp some belong in the dnb camp....it certainly is an interesting spin on the genre...
I'm not sure it's for me though.....
for me everything need thickening up.... I go on and on about this but layering is the key to quality dnb...well...the key to quality music of any genre really.... you need to add layers to your drum sound and your bass sound to add thickness and texture.....
some nice ideas...not really my cup 'o tea but horse for courses and all that...
Thanks for stopping by. I know exactly what you mean about the Beastie Boys. I really wish there were some more forward thinking MCs or Producers on here that could hear the potential in the tracks that are posted.
I'm glad your boys had a dance...thinking about it is making me smile :)
Elaine
wow I can't believe 9 people have listened to this and not one of them has had stones to tell you this aint no dnb brother....
the whole track has the feeling of one big long intro...
I would say that maybe you need to listen to some of the dnb here on the loop....start with people like Rollagee,RogueAi,HNMM and sn76 there really is some great dnb here on the loop enough to give you some inspiration...
don't get me wrong there are some nice ideas here but may be it just needs a bit more work to take it to the next level brother...
Thanks for the input. What I'm lacking most is good drums. I didn't want to use the drums I've used, but very few drums on looperman are what I want in a drum even if I mash loops, I'm never satisfied with the result so I just went with it. I'll change the genre. =]
some really nice ideas brother...I'm never sure of the whole drum step thing to be honest...
the bass line is wicked totally digging the drum track... maybe some more variation on that percussion would have been nice but other than that a good track brother...
I just upload a new version of this track, sounds a bit different and better ... I will definitely take your suggestion, and in the next version I will try to add more variations in percussions!
Thanks for the review bro,much appreciated!
this is great brother....it is well documented I'm not big on hiphop... but I did dig this...
I'm looking for some non-instrumental hiphop/rap to release on me label...any interest?
anyway... enough of me being crass
the track and the flow is fantastic...you got talent brother... I already new simmer was a talented guy but together I think you got something great.. I would have liked to have heard some more on the bottom end but thats just me...BASSHEAD...!!!!
hhhhhmmmmmm...would love to hear more ...nice one... keep 'em coming brother
the track has some nice ideas in it... the drum track needs some layer in it even if it's just the kick...
the bassline is great but it does get a tiny bit mono tone... maybe your could change it up a bit...even if its just drop or raising the pitch in places...
once you've layered your drum track you can sidechain your bass through the compressor on your kick drum it would make your bass dip slightly thus not over powering your drum track.... it would make the track less muddy...
there are some really nice ideas here brother and I enjoyed the listen...
what you say is true my friend & ive kinda learnt how to use the affects on ,compression,chaining & adding more textures within duplication of low,mid & high levels in the subs,fx etc... in my defence this was created in my first year & ive only been creating music nearly 2 years & didnt have much of an idea then how to fix the issues u mentioned my friend but i like the track so i thought id share it on free DL ... ps ... ive lost a lot of files & samples due 2 pc issues & dont think i will get to finish stuff i made in the 1st year , anyway mate " thanx " also big UP for the advice , im always greatful for producers input & direction as im still learning techniques as all of us do daily in creation ... so peace out my friend ... Ricky
for me the loops seem a bit thin maybe if you layered them up... two versions one eq'd to act like a sub the other eq'd normally but take off the very top end it might give them a bit more depth...
your drum track needs to come down in the mix I'm hearing clipping probably coming from that kick... also I would layer that up too just to give the whole thing a little bit more shine..even alternate between two different kicks...one with a tale one without... even adding a bit of reverb on to the snare and the hats would add some extra character...
the ideas are good don't get me wrong...you just gotta work on getting a fuller more pro sound brother... post production it takes practice but you'll get there...
some nice ideas brother....I'm not sure about the fx in the drum track brother.... I found myself waiting for it instead of listening to the rest of the track....
the track as a whole is nicely structured and starts off in a red hot chilli's kinda way...
I don't get the dark undertones that everyone talks about but you know me I live dark!!... I do how ever get the hiphop undertones and it kinda reminded me of some of kid rocks earlier stuff...
as I said some nice ideas brother...keep 'em coming
Cool, thanks for the feedback. The reason why I added the sound FX is because, to give it that dark feel that I thought it needed at the time... I guess I went overboard with the FX. I think that's cool, that you say it starts out like the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Thanks again for the feedback.
Today I just started making a new drum pattern, for this track!I tried a couple of days to do a better mastering, but I always lose the quality on the drums, so I decided I change it a whole drum pattern, and hope that it will sound better!
In this track I have not used your refills, sub / Reece at 1:45 is patch from "fear of the dark"track, !On my new track(Spread The Virus)
I used your refills, thank you once again for the awesome refills!
And thank you brother for review,much appreciated!
Thanks Dani...considering she didn't have a metronome and was just singing because she wanted to, I think Alicia did well...and then when I started to make a track with my 'Come with me' vocals it seemed a shame not to use the nursery rhyme.
Anyway cheers...your comments are always welcome.
Elaine
nice intro...would have worked a little better with a slow build up and maybe fading in those fx a little more...
the drum kicks in...
it's quite thin and the skipping is kinda strange... for me you need to thicken it up and by layering and work on those rolls and breaks...cause seriously it sounds like a skipping cd..
the melody is ok and the bass is alright..for me they both need thickening..which again comes down to layering...
over all I would say some good ideas but you need to work on both your post production techniques and your drum programming brother
Hey PBJ..thanks for the listen man!..Yeah,in future Hip Hop grooves I'll be paying more attention to things like the kick,it's taken me awhile to absorb the genre and I've got along way to go as I want the stuff I do to sound 100% Planetjazzbass (the instrumentation anyway) and not generic..cheers mate and thanks for the advice!..Dave :)
Yeah Bro I know exactly what you're saying,I'll try to fix this!!This is my third bass ever made in Reason, I still trying to figure out how to get a thick bass!Anyway thanks for great review,much appreciated,I will contact you for refills!
some really nice ideas...for me I would put some more reverb on the drum track... maybe even create a copy of the drum track,take out the hats and add some delay to it...keep it low in the mix but it will add texture and depth...
the bass has already been mentioned..so I won't cover that...
so nice idea like i said I certainly get the reggae vibe...nice
Thanks for the review man. i think im going to leave this one be now tho trying to wrap my head round using a different daw because ive heard you can do amazing things in ableton just havent got the grasp of doing anything amazing yet haha
nice chilled vibe... I like the whole garage band feel to it but it also has that whole patti smith cutting edge to it...
I like it.... would have been nice to hear some fx on it especially the intro and also to have a little more bass but thats just me being picky I think...
Ah thanks for checking it out. Well I had so much trouble with the original pella I used that after I had re-recorded it and dropped it into the track I was just happy with that lol. But feel free to add to it if you want.
cheers
Elaine :)
Hey P, thanks for the listen and the good advice, I changed the genre, I get a bit stuck choosing which one, as I dont pick a particular theme when I'm mixing, just what i think fits if you know what I mean, I appreciate the words of encouragement and glad you took the time :) smiles

on End OF Times (EXCLUSIVE RELEASE) by DJknight
the bass line is nice and phat.. and the drum track is strong...
but for me there are some times issues and the bass doesn't seem to belong to the drum track...
for me you might wanna look at where you bass sits in relation to your kick and snare...
as I say everything sounds good and has the right thickness and depth to it but sounds fractured and out of time...
some nice ideas...

that kick needs to come down in the mix for sure... theres a weird dipping of the whole track which kinda gave me a head ache....
