Yep
superb track man. The drums are amazing, i dont know how you getyour hats sounding so good. love the acid lines, i have a question, do you startwith the drums usually or the melody? Just curious as to how you get the two intergrated so well.
I dont know if you intended it but i think some of the pads were slightly off key once or twice. The rhythm outshone the melody though. talk to u later
Thanks dude, this was a bit of a rushed effort, I was trying hard to get it in by the end of the NG day, and well, its a bit rough around the edges to say the least! Glad to hear the beats and bass were ok with you, I spent the most time on them.
I ALWAYS crank out the drums first, I don't think I'm capable of building a melody without some pretty strong beats underneath to start with.
The pads, yeah..I wouldn't be surprised...man, considering my name, I really should get them sounding proper!
Just reviewed your track by the way, killer stuff. I'm guessing the riff is from floorboarder? :)
Thanks for the review!
i agree, always better off electric
i thought the bass, sound and melody was strong in this one, and there was a lot going on, as always. All the insturments fit but I thought the percussion could have been pushed back a bit with maybe a bit of reverb and a bit quieter to give more room for the leads. youve been kickin ass lately man i gotta say, and people have been taking notice. good stuff. Keep doing what your doin
If Edison and lil' ol' Volta hadn't been born, what on Earth would we be doing right now I wonder?
Glad you liked it and thanks for the useful observations, I have to agree with you about the rhythm. Thats why I love it when you drop by, you have a good ear for the mix! Catch ya later.
trippin
a really nicely mixed track, each sound is perfectly weighted so theres always the right amount going on. cool minimal beat, goes really well and the vocal samples give the right feel. the glitches really add to the track too. Sounds like it would have been fun to make. dont stop
Thanks mate, glad to hear from you. Maybe the voice having an American accent is a bit much, I think a sassy UK teen would be better!
I hope to hear some of your tracks bouncing around NG soon.
My brain gets it
Nice rhythms man, and the changing around of drum kits is really effective, or maybe it was just the snare. More potential again.
This tune sounds shit. I just added it to Newgrounds portal as I was trying to give something different. I know a few of the lines in this could be fucked around with, add given maybe two weeks fucking around and adding stuff I could turn this into a nice little number( How cheesey did that sound)
drugs are bad
I love the bass and the hi end rim taps and hats. Thats really original and the kind of stuff I look for all the time. The whole thing is nicely mastered and kind of funky but the spoken sample contrasts it well. Some of your stuff is really underrated, or just undiscovered. Im into it anyways, keep em coming.
Thanks. The Spoken sample I heard on a radio add. I took (stole?) it and made the rest by writing it on pieces off paper. I then used lots of other random noises and just came up with this piece. Experimental is my what I enjoy the most. I can make all sorts off noises and put them all together.
"More Effects" they said
Thats a really cool sounding song and I reckon would be well worth working on a bit more. The effects you use are original and you should go nuts with them. And the plucked sort of line you use through the last half could be elaborated with more instruments. Heaps of potential
Fucking hell! I hate this song lol. I was going thru a D&B stage. The song just sounds so simple. I guess it does have potential, but I can't be arsed with it.
Nice one brother
the fact that this has 19 dls and no reviews makes me lose the little faith i had in the taste of newgrounders. I dont know how much of this you sampled and how much you put together yourself but it sounds really smooth. Nice subtle drums and bass and tight scratching and sampling. I should suggest to everyone on newgrounds that wants to make breaks to take over the brit pop genre or something so we can at least find each other.
Ummm, the beat is all my own. It started off as a Stanton Warriors sort of 2 step 4x4 beat. The more I added to it the more it sounded oldskool. So I took some retro 80's noises (from a sample C.D) and tweaked them. I then just threw in a few scratches and went on from there.
I didn't think it would get any harder
but u proved me wrong. This is really full on music. The gated sort of synth bass near the end gives a real aphexy frantic feel. It sounds a lot like his remix called 168bpm. Keep the chaos flowing
Love it
Awesome stuff man. I had to hear the drums drop in five times to appreciate it fully. The sounds complemented each other nicely, including the vocals.
One thing ive been thinking of lately is using one intrument or sound for each frequency, and kind of resticting it using an equaliser. That way i find i can put more sounds in without it sounding too confusing.
Awesome drums, did u chop up a loop here or are they put together separately?
Now to check out your others.
Nice one man
Thankyou Mr Kaisun, I always like it when you drop in to my little music hut.
Equalisers? Man, I have a hard enough time figuring out which way to push the faders. Really important, I grant you that. Giving each room space, really makes a difference.
The loop is a chopped up amen, its the ORIGINAL amen, I was happy as a clam when I found it. :P
I think I repeated the vocals a bit too much in the second half. Probably should have just drummed and bassed it out for the remainder.
Well, I look forward to your future productions.
Its a chaotic world
Hey man, deadly breaks track. The very beginning sounds a little like Aphexs remix on 26 mixes. I love the drum programming and the open hats and cymbals, gives a intense feel to the song.
The glitch roll at the end of a bar about half way through is great, a much more purposeful and effective use of beat repeat.
Id like to hear more structure, cause the sounds are good but it sound like each of them are kind of ad libbing over each other sometimes.
Finally got something up on breakbeat paradise, is yours nearly done? one week to go.
take it easy
I know you're a real breaks man, so I'm pleased to hear that my stutters and glitches were tighter in this track, which is what I was trying hard to do. Interesting comments about the structure, it is a bit manic, but isn't that what I'm all about? :) Point taken though. I'll try and tighten the screws in future.
I've really got to focus on breakbeat paradise. Crunchtime is upon us!!!
Cya later. :P
