Freeky,

I'm surprised no one has weighed in yet. Maybe everyone was out late last night.

Strappin on the headphones.

My general impression of this piece is that you have a good working skeleton that you can continue to build around. I found the beats and melodic ideas interesting. The detuned synth voices you used give off a unique vibe you don't often hear. The mix seemed flat to me. Quiet and mostly in the middle of the spectrum. The drums are way too low in the mix IMO.
I really like the rockin part that kicks in about 2:20. Nice driving beat. Generally nice work Freeky.

Others will be along shortly I'm sure.

I have to say i'm not really keen on this one. It sounds very generic and as triscuit says, lacks a theme. The sounds you've used are dragging it down too. You have some great sounds in p5, but it sounds like you've been using a general midi vsti. The production does sound flat and that is'nt really helped by the drums, they sound flabby. Did you compress the drums at all? If you use blockfish then that can tighten the sound up a lot. I too really liked the flute sound, but it's the only sound here i did really like. Sorry to be down on this, just being honest. You've done far better tracks than this in the past that have been really good, but this sounds like a giant step backwards. If i were you i'd go back to some of your best tracks and anylise what you did then and use some of the same techniques for your new ones.

lol!

well glad for a positive input here!

lol i think the general gist of it is taht this piece is not really liked here... lol

btw this was a look back at my original style and trying to reproduce it... guess i shouldve said that before!

dont woory theres always room for improvement as i like 2 remember - nothing is perfect.

The mix on this version IS bad, there's no denying that, but this version was done about 2 weeks ago so... yeah... :)

lol i think its time for a random track which is out of the blue :)

expect something a little... different from me next time lol.


btw, i jsut wanted to add that if theres one good thing about this forum, its that you get an HONEST answer!!! lol even if its not a very good one... and ive just noticed that ive gone silver yay
