Steve Donaldson - Moisture Bud new track up!

SteveDon

Hi guys, just stuck a new track up on my myspace, looking for some feedback as im getting round to sending off demos to some labels ive been wanting to work with for a while, so any constructive/unconstructive critcism welcome!

Its a minimal track with a rolling sin bass and some housey elements, send me a pm if you would like an mp3 of it.

hey man you should set up a soundcloud account.they let you upload 320 versions of your track t playback.also a good few labels on there too

SteveDon

yeah ive actually got a soundcloud but ive only put a few things in labels dropboxes havent really delved into its other possibilites yet.

Any thoughts on the track?

cool man cheers!

just listening there now.
really like the bassline and the melody is sweet.
im not too fond of the reverbed hat(i think its a hat).im presuming you kinda wanted it out of sync with everything else but maybe not as much as you have it.
personally id like a few of the elements panned a bit more like the high click(maybe a wood block or something like that)just coz things are a bit centred.
the reverb tails are a little too long i think and a bit loud(just a bit).
anyway thats just the negative stuff and im no expert to be honest.overall i really like it.think its your best one.id buy this if i heard it.
saying that any 320 floating about

SteveDon

yeah i think your dead right about the hat, i did want it to be slightly out of sync but i think that i left the reverb gate a little too long on it, might be taking away from the the bass line a bit, really appreciated the feedback and im glad you liked it, ill pm you a link to a 320kpbs version of it!

also i think you could do a intro and outro with just the drums no bass and still keep the length the same but thats just personal preference

that crossed my mind actually as i usually do that with my songs, but i just stuck the bass straight in on this one cause i fancied a change.

your right about the panning aswell, im usually pretty lazy when it comes to doing stuff like that

ha ha that happens alright but it could help it you know.but yeah the more im listening the more im liking which is good
hopefully youll get a few more reviews from people too

Im really liking it too I agree a longer intro would be nicer but apart from that its a :cool: tune.. Really like that baseline too..

SteveDon

why was this moved to the clubbing section?

Nice track I like it...

However the background on your myspace page makes it really difficult to read the page - stick with something simple imo

Cheers for taking the time to listen, Im in agreement with you with regards the page layout, its pretty awful, im not a fan of the html on myspace cant seem to get my head around it!
