yeah, use it for what you like! Send me the trailer when its finished first :)
hmm
i neave heard something so hyponotysing its wonder full how it sounds. What type of music is this techno or something differnt
this is real
This is real DNB. Although its not as fast paced as say techstep, it has a more ambient feel to it, and I like it! Its great work! Sounds like you put in a string instrument in there as well, but the breaks are good. Keep up the good work!
fergyanimated responds:
Yeah, thanks :)
I've had mixed reactions - some people think its DnB, some dont... but im just glad you liked it :)
Ah. Awesome.
Yet another artist who appreciates Liquid as much as I do :) Never conform to what's in the NG portal. ('cause we all know that Liquid goes beyond the levels of Darkstep and Hard DnB any day. [Not saying that I don't appreciate Darkstep / Hard DnB for what it is, I just prefer Liquid myself.] There's just something spiritually inspiring about Liquid...) Anyhow, enough of my ramblings. On to the song. From start to finished!
*Rewind*
Very nice little crash you have at the intro there. The kicks are very quick to start things off, and at this point, I know where it's going. Basses are places very nicely in the mix and the patterns are awesome. That little mod you have there fits very well.
The strings/pads are put quite well in the background. And as it slides up and drops into your main verse, those little string plucks (I'm assuming pianos?) just take it to another world.
I must say that your kit is lacking a lot, in terms of punch and presence. (And I'd know. I've been making Liquid for quite a while.) The snare is quite full in your mid-low / mids, but there's no highs. You can add a bit to it so that it can stand out. Maybe filling out those highs with another snare would do it.
As for your kick... I can just barely make it out in the mix. It's that silent (Honestly). Filling out more of those lows will definitely add some presence. You've got your low-mids there, but you need a bass-drum attached to it so you can give it some extra thump when you kick releases.
Not much picky-ness on the hats, because I can make them out just fine. Although, just a bit of volume added to it can bring it out some more.
The other kit you have playing as it breaks down is very nice. Just what I'd expect when I listen to a breakdown: a minimalistic emulation of your first kit :)
Now, let's talk about those sliding basses (the one's that slide down). It does sort of get to me a little bit. It adds a lot to the track, but I think you can tone it down just a tiny bit. (Plus, adding some highs to them would help. They need a bit of colour.)
Interesting outro. I think it could have done without the sliding basses right there. (Or at least a replacement with a sliding sub-bass downward. I think that would have done it more justice.)
Conclusion
----------------
A very nicely made track. A bit lacking in your initial drum kit, so some beefing up would definitely give them more of a presence in your track. Those sliding basses could use with a bit of toning down, but not too much. (That or a replacement with a sub-bass sliding downward.) Your percussions in the background are well placed. So, no complaints about that. Besides these things, everything is in place, and it flows very nicely :) A great job. Keep it goin', yeah? I'll be lookin' out for you.
