it turned out nice. i really don't listen to any house and i did this totally out of instinct.

i'd appreciate some feedback form people that listen to house

can't find any hosting now so use this link instead http://www.sendspace.com/file/5y3qrw

I really like this, it has a nice, compact sound with a slightly spooky atmosphere from the typewriter; good juxtaposition! I'm stuck on headphones right now, but I suspect the bass might be a little hard to pick out some systems, and I swear I hear some bass notes clashing sometimes? Like the release is overlapping the next note?

But it's very cool. I would listen to this. :tu:

i did a semi mixdown on headphones before i posted this so yeah, the bass might not be that good. and as for the overlapping i think you're right. i had some notes overlapping at one point and thought it sounded cool with that extra rumble or sumfin, but i also think i wanted to fix that and forgot.

:D thanks for your feedback

Well done iD! Put me in mind of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome with the typewriter concept. This is definitely not my genre tho, and I hope to hear you getting back to some down stuff as I think you've got a great feel for it.

What's "down stuff"?

Post

down as in slower i think is what polyslax meant. something like this http://195.249.116.158/Visitor_Trax/dum ... nt_320.mp3 or this http://195.249.116.158/Visitor_Trax/dum ... 20kbps.mp3

cheers fellas.

@polyslax. this is also not my genre, but i had a play in reason yestereday and it was so fun i made this. when it was about finished i exported all the tracks, shoved them into live and made some more t6weaks to the sound.

i have 16 bars of a downtempo track i started about 2 weeks ago and i will probabloy finish it sometime soon. i think it's gonna be pretty good.

to me, youre house track, sounds really cool as i said before...i listen to lots of dance (in a very broad sense) 4*4 stuff...(that prolly doesnt make my opinion any better...but here it goes..... i think the typewriter sounds dont fit too good...mainly because the typewriter rhythm sounds too lose...all the track feels tight ... they dont match... the way i see it, it should also be louder in the mix....basicly more quatitized and louder... the vocal gives it a really cool housy touch...

the downtempo stuff is really cool too... it even reminded me of my downtempo :love: , peter kruder (peace orchestra)...in a more minimal way... or even dj vadim for the dark hop moods... wich can only be good.... though tomorrow ill find no resemblances... thc has this kind of things :hihi:

and why do people (i) keep on doing this "this sounds like this, this sounds like that" kind of thing... beats me...i just do it... references are a way of communication...maybe..

at times the typewriter does feel a bit too lose for the really tight feel of the track but yesterday, when i decided i finished this i was stone and i thoight i was alright. the beat was lock-tight to a grid the typewriter was not so i guessed it was alright.

anyway... i did this track just playing around and didn't pay much attention to anything. it is just the way it came out with just a little help from me.

maybe, sometime when i'm bored i'll look into it, and maybe take it to the next level... and add a trance, gated, choir sample. :lol:

I think the type writer could vary a bit in the song.. Also you could shrink the spread on the bass stereo to tighten it..
