    Top stuff my man.
    Really liked the first track, (Bubblebottix I think it was called), has a nice Orbital feel to it. Personally I would have added a filter sweep to the bassline in places (but then again I just love filter sweeps :D ). The other two tracks were excellent also. Nice production and good clean sounds. What kind of software/hardware are you using?

    Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback. Might try a filter sweep on that bassline as you suggested! I use Reason for making beats, Fl studio 5 for putting it all together and for vsts, effects etc, Rebirth cos it rocks & T-racks to master it all.Im working on a few new ones but find it hard to finish tunes, always coming up with new ideas for new tunes :(

    Somehow I don't think your a newbie :).

    I think the first track is definetly more of an IDM influence than Oribital, which is right up my alley. Drums are good, as are the synths and I really like what you did at the end.

    I like the melodies in the second track, I think the snare stands out too much though.

    I don't think one of the pads fits in the third track, sounds out of tune or something. Its a catchy little number none the less.

    Good stuff mate, post back when you make some more stuff.

    I hear what you're saying about not finishing tracks. I tend to have about 3 or 4 half finished. The biggest problem is you might put something together and think it sounds pretty good. Then you listen to it the following day and its like 'what a pile of pooh!' :rolleyes:

    Heard of it but i dont have an internet connection at home. Sounds a bit gimmicky though. Exchanging through email or web space is the way to go one to one me thinks!

    I'll post up a beginnig of a track tommorrow. At the moment I'm thinking of using it as a sort of 'part I' and then writing a different track and using it as a 'part II'. It'll be in mp3 format but if anyone wants to do anything with it I could also post up the patterns as individual tracks. (1 bar each)

    OK. I've posted the bits here. It's a zip file and it contains various 1 bar patterns. I've also included the track as it is together (well the begining of the track anyway). It's called 110. None of the samples have been mastered or anything, just exported directly out of FL and converted to mp3. (192 bitrate). If things get serious then I suppose wav files will have to be used. Anyhoo, see what ye can do.
    PS Apologies for the hum on the sub_melody sample. I couldn't kill it in the vst it was generated in.

    Not at the moment, finding it hard to finish stuff these days.

    I like IDM, drum and bass, ambient, anything good really.

    finishing stuff for me is a nightmare. i'm working on a track at the moment and i've just hit a brick wall. if i had a studio, a few more synths, a vocalist, and a musician ot two i'd be sorted.
