Nice choon. Good acid stuff. Plenty of things going on and load of variation. I think the drums could be more punchy though and maybe more to them. Try putting a percussion pattern in the background.

Thanks CypherOne - thats nice to hear!CypherOne wrote:Blimey, there's an irony - I downloaded 'Logan's Beard' by you guys about 6 months ago, I really liked it as it reminded me of the Plump DJs and I was really impressed as I've never been able to get that kind of groove going.
But in all honesty it was judicious sampling that made that track work, but when it comes to a less cluttered sound I cant reproduce the instrumentation, programming with feel and the sense of space without sounding flimsy - all that you have here.
Maybe its horses for courses but I'm still envious...

Right, this may look like another shameless bump, but it's not.
Quite a few of you guys (shitloads more than I expected) quite liked this tune. The most common sticking point was the snare. Snares are my biggest problem. I have loads of samples, but can I find one I'm happy with?
I appreciate most of you have probably tired of the track (I know I almost have
), but can anyone be arsed to put up an example of the type of snare they would like to see in this track? Please?
See, I was quite pleased with that snare, i.e. it was the best I could find - but no doubt I've missed something, so please, help me out guys.
Yours,

I'd still go for a synthetic snare sound - you could easily make your own snare... with Microtonic 
And if I'm using Microtonic, it must be easy to do

Credit where credit is due, this track is still rockin my speakers. On of KVR's finest
I found another tiny thing tho. The tamb is a little tight sounding. Its 3 hits i think, i'd be inclined to drop the vol on the first and last hit to make it swing in and out of each bar a litlle. Know what i mean?
Cant get enough of this tho, and the mrs loves it too

Blimey Krim, that's a real compliment coming from you. I don't want to start some gaylord backslapping shit but you are my KVR musical hero so that really means a lot!
I will get to work on this over the weekend, really appreciate the constructive feedback and pointers (although I give up a bit - the snares staying!). Dunno when it'll get uploaded again tho 'cos Glassback hosts and he'll be off his head most of the weekend I expect

I know what you mean. I rarely go back and change things, even if i get good advice. Once a track is done, its done. Maybe i should take some of that advice and improve my tracks, but im a stubborn git
If you need hosting, i got loadsa room for the odd track or two, just gimme a nod

CypherOne - That track is the dogs mate! I love my breakbeat and that's just top stuff, quite minimal and clean, but with just enough edge. And love the little background tweaks and FX.
Gimme some more!
