Actually mate, this is really very good!

My only complaint would be that the kick drum sounds awfully wet... But that's my only complaint...

This is a seriously good track sir... It goes so many places. The sounds all work really well together, and it's full of energy. I like how it periodically sounds like you're paying homage to the mod scene of the early 90's... At least, that's what it sounds like you're doing... I think Future Crew and/or Triton wold be proud of ya!

It really is too bad that stuff like this goes mostly unnoticed around here. Hopefully you don't get too discouraged by that, as it sounds like you've got a whole lot of tallent as a composer. (assuming that this track is done by you of course... not a lot of info on the page).

Be VERY proud of this one mate, I know I would!

Cheers.

Nice composing!

The sound is a little empty in my ears. The drums could use a little different sound and the guitar kinda sound is too thin. When the bass is soloing, you can hear it's midi. Until the end it sounds fuller.

But other than that "Miami Vice".

Hey, advaya....I wasn't expecting such a good critique.
Thanks a lot! And yes, it was me who have done it!

The sound is a little empty in my ears.

Waynemendozza, can you be more specific about it?
Thanks for listening and the comments!

I have to point this out to you: http://the-auditorium.net/index.php (it is free)

Thanks for the sugestion runagate! It's already there but no one make comments.

Yes, but you can hear it and comment here.

Thanks for listening!

I'll try

: The song has a lot of power from the way it is composed. The snare sounds too computerish for that and the basedrum is not strong enough. The sounds you use come through the mix very well though, but all together I feel it a little thin. Maybe doubling some sounds would be a major change (maybe leed sound). For the bass try the Bass chorus on http://www.cloneensemble.com/ (freeby), to get it a little more solid and overwhelming (I don't mean louder but more massive). When the bass is soloing, maybe fresh it up with some slap base sounds in between so it varies a little.

But really, I do LIKE this song! Just thinking it could not be "only" wow but make it a superwow!

Someone else made that comment already...

I must correct it.

Yeah, I though that too...slap bass seems good to me.

But really, I do LIKE this song! Just thinking it could not be "only" wow but make it a superwow!

Thanks for the explanation and the bass chorus! I'll try that!

Upon listening to this at home (with a proper setup... not through headphones while at work) I do have to agree with some of Wayne's critiques.

I love the groove you have created with the drums, but yeah, something isn't quite right with the snare. And yes, a bit of chorus or doubling of the bass would probably heighten the solos. And I still think that the kick drum sounds a little too distant in the mix.

Your compositional skills are really first-rate though. The last 1/4 of this track gives me chills. Keep working on this one, because it really could be a 'superwow'!

Some more ideas:

try Dominion on your drums: http://www.kvraudio.com/get/878.html
and the Classic Compressor http://www.kvraudio.com/get/649.html on your master chanel
then spice it up with a little Stereo Touch http://www.kvraudio.com/get/445.html on your master chanel

Good luck!

You are going for the computer music sound some what arn't you.. It reminds me of some action scene, composition wise its great, but it is very midi... Think thatz kinda cool though!

You are going for the computer music sound some what arn't you..

Well, I don't have any other possibility than work only with a computer.

...composition wise its great, but it is very midi...

Thanks! There are many reasons for a song sound too MIDI....Lack of "humanization" on drums, for example, the soud source quality, etc
What do you think as being the reason for this one? Any sugestion to improve this particular point?

Thanks for listening.

Oi! Check this!
