Hey... This actually IS quite soothing... Not sure if you meant it to be that way... I like the flanged drum noodling going on in this. It almost sounds IDM...
But Vurt! That initial harsh tone at the very beginning (the very first 0.2 seconds of it)... I am not sure you meant it to kick in that strong or not. But it is almost speaker-damaging strong (at least, ear-drum damaging). I did a quick analysis of that little bit... rms value of -7.5dB... ouch.
I'll probably get bashed/flamed for saying this, but could ya lower that section just a bit? It really is painful when listening on cans...

I master my stuff at -1.5..How is -7.5 too loud?

There is a big difference between peak and rms values... -7.5dB for a tone that sits mostly @ 600 to 1000hz isn't exactly ideal. (again... that is just my opinion).
Hell, even Queens of the StoneAge master their stuff at only 11dB rms (and they get criticised plenty for their wall-of-sound approach).
BTW... Sickle, I've listened to plenty of your stuff, and I've never come across a track that maintains a constant volume of -1.5dB... Is that even possible?

I agree... It isn't my critique... Not many bands can pull off a trick like that and still sound good.Sicklecell666 wrote:What crap.

And as for the trying bit (your above post). Let me know when you do... But give me adequate warning first! I am afraid my hearing is already on the downward spiral.
Cheers.

Like this a lot - quite lulling and hypnotic in its own way. I hear Reaktor in those drums - presumably the R5 upgrade is leading you into all this rhythm stuff, though that sounds like an R4 ensemble I know.
