Hi !
This is my latest effort ! Its called Dorian as I used the dorian scale in one of the parts :-) Please follow the link,thks

I like the feel and guitar part at the first part.  When the distorted guitar comes in and the drums go distorted, seems like too much distortion and not enough contrast.  The solo part at the end seems too short!  That feel was really good.

Hey !
Glad u liked the feel of the track.  The middle part I've struggled with.I wanted something to pick the track up so I opted for eights in the guitar line and applied a flange to the drums.Sure it might be too much on first listen :( I've come accustomed to it I think,through repeated listening,maybe.
The end solo does seem a bit abrupt I suppose,but it was tiring listening to the two guitars playing together,thats why I cut it short !!
Thanks for listening

I thought this was pretty creative in sound and has a good vibe to it in general. The drums are just a bit over powering but the as you listen to some of my stuff, you can tell I like powerful drums, so they feel O.K. to me, but might not be for others. I liked this andyour mix was pretty good, but could use a tad of tweaking here and there. Might try a soft knee in the middle. Nice piece.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

I like what you're going for here.  Combining modern "beats" and synth textures with great sounding rock guitar sounds.

Hi ! Thanks for your crits and ideas. Yes the drums are quite present,I agree. It was a bit of an all or nothing :) And yes like you do,I like the drums to be powerful..
 For the middle,do you mean soft knee compression on the drums,or the master ?
Many thanks for listening,
Kev

Kev,
 
Cool song.   I like the rhythm track and choice of chords.   Guitar and Pads work well together.   Sounds odd when the drums drop out when the heavier, swirling guitar comes in.  You have the dramatic fill and then drop out the drums, when as a listener, I think they are going to get heavier.   If you keep the drums going I think that section would have more dimension.   I like it a lot though.  You could make it longer too;)

Regards

I really didn't like the flanged drums when they came in. I was expecting a lot of punch and it didn't have any. So as it comes out to me is that it lacks a climax, which sounds like it should have been there.
 
However, the song is kick ass! Besides the drums disappearing this is such a great tune that really sits well with my taste in music. The guitars and the non-flangered drums sounds great, nice touch with the strings and the vibe and mood of this piece is great!
 
Well done

Ok I took the plunge and changed the drums on the middle.I think they are a lot more punchier now :-)
