NVWOCI WVS Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I'll be completely honest: I don't actually like anything about it. I don't mind a nice bit of electro, but that isn't pleasant to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 LULsCheers anyway It helps to play it on a bigger soundsystem though, through pc or laptop speakers it will sound a bit nasty.Each to their own anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 It needs more zing, good beats etc, but doesn't have that oomph that you need to keep it alive, it's more of a flat background track instead of a lively electro track.

MadManMike Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 It's electro techno... warm up set kinda stuff, not peak time banger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) I listened to the first minute, then skimmed through the rest. I think it's sticking to the same beat too much. It's quite a monotonous 5 minutes. I'm listening through a pair of AKG K171 monitors, so I think the quality is ok. I don't like the timbre of the main 'hook line' and the pace of the track (not tempo, but flow) isn't quick enough imo. Like the ping-pong sounding bit though. It's far too thin in places too, imo. Not in a dramatic breaking down kindof way, just on a boring way.All opinion, of course, and trying to be a bit constructive. I normally like your stuff though, this is an exception!Edit: that's after a more careful listen to the whole thing.

Hendrix Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I get the idea of where you're coming from with the beats/things on a HighPass filter, it's a great concept to go with the name. Needs to progress a bit faster, though I've started writing radio playable stuff recently, whereas yours isn't. It's good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam-Addy A3 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) I think it needs to kick in earlier, and i agree, it is slightly monotonous.But yeah, its not bad, just needs a few small changes i think (although im no expert)Sam Edited March 21, 2009 by Sam-Addy A3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) It's a full length DJ track so "kicking in earlier" would really screw the DJ over Thanks for all the comments, the only thing I will say is that the genre is repetitive by nature, to make a track that isn't wouldn't really fit. This genre is love or hate to be honest, I guess most of you hate hehe. Edited March 22, 2009 by MadManMike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

middleageman Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Well Mike, this track has just had me, the wife and 11 year old son slammin' in our front room! I used to luuurve detroit techno back in the days, Kenny Larkin, Ritchie Hawtin, Carl Craig etc.I'm liking your use of polyrhythms, the lead bleeps and blips work quite nicely against the bassline and drumtrack. It's definately got that 'jerk' !As a small/project studio producer in the past, I realise the time and effort involved in making a 'finished' track. Well done!If you don't mind me saying, the mix sounds a bit harsh in the upper mids. It may be the threshold of the compressor your using? Anyway, good work man!!!
