Reviews for Sinking Point Unit

[Rucklo]

I´m sitting here and...

...downloading as you upload. This stuff is really good man. What equipment did you use making this?
Anyway, theres really nothing to complaint about. Im in the library writing this, so its difficult to review the quality, but form what i can judge its really good. The buildup on the song is really good, the instruments work fine with each other. It does get a little too mouch in places, maybe some more balanicing out on the instruments might set the mix free a little.
I liked the softer part in the song, in my opinion you should have had a big fat beat drop there, to make it really, well... big :) Judging on the filtering that follows, there is hardware incvolved in this stuff, right?
Anyway, nice song, mate. Ive just downloaded all ur songs, gonna listen to them on my way home afterwards :)

I appreciate your advice, it makes a lot of sense. Drum and bass and breaks are all about the 'drop' really. It's something I need to really work on, for sure!
It is a fairly dense production, I was going for kind of a Crystal Method thing. They often have 3 or 4 strong sounds competing for space but I reckon with their mixing skills they can pull it off.
Hmm..the song is composed entirely in software, Ableton Live actually, so I made liberal use of the really great filters and effects within in to enhance (or jeopardize) the song. The glitches, stutters, etc were most likely performed by Beat Repeat, again, that one is built into the software. I can usually manually edit volume on the master channel to get some gate type effects.

Keep watching Rucklo, one day I'll master the drop. Or at least get a C+ on the subject!

By the way, thanks for taking the time to listen to the music, I'm really happy that it gave you some satisfaction and thanks again for the observations :)
