An yes I knwo I spelt it wrong!

i wouldn't normally listen to this style music although i respect the funkiness of it

just had enough time to catch that super 8 track also. really liking that one.

Kinds of a light trance feel to this one. Or maybe commercial trance is a more apt name

great track. definitely capture the warehouse buzz with it. if i were to make a suggestion would be to bring in another conga or two on a a rapid pattern to lie just underneath the main pattern you have going through it @2.50 mark onwards.

Thanks.

I'm going to try do more tracks like that. have to figure out how much is the sound the warehouse itself and how much is my imagination of the warehouse.

well yeah that's the thing. when in a warehouse..that sound is happening due to the surroundings. whereas you're already after creating the sound that's created in that environment anyway. so i wonder if you played that track in a warehouse would it be overkill of the sounds.

still though i think you captured it on the head.

Hi Lads

First time posting here I'm a regular on the Electronic music & Dj'ing thread. Anyway over the last year and a half I've been getting into production side of things big time with ableton. So just looking for some feedback on my stuff from people that are interested in electronic music as much as me.

Here's a track I finished this week which has been getting some really good feedback it's a remix of "The xx - Crystalised" http://soundcloud.com/scoob89/the-xx-crystalised-scoob-remix

also here's a link to my soundcloud profile if you guys fancy checking the
rest of my stuff http://soundcloud.com/scoob89

Thanks
Look forward to hear back from someone:)

I wonder about this too. Though I've some of the music that gets played - People do fancy high end reverby stuff - which is completely taken apart by the acoustics of the warehouse. Reverb will reverberate and comeback even more reverby.

I think the less treatment the better it may sound. I think you could do a warehouse with just a few drum machines and some kind of sampler doing spooky stuff.

I think dry sounds would be the most powerful.

I know this is probably taking the piss a bit but after listening to suggestions here I played around with the levels a bit on these two tunes:

It would be great to get some feedback. Cheers!

New remix up on soundcloud, original track is by Ronan Caroll aka gsparx here on boards.

Tried to get that warehousey sound aswell with this one, interested to know what you lads reckon.

lovely smooth track there

This is the first remix of a piece of my own I'm reworking. It's kind of dirty electro house.

I was a bit lazy looping a bit of a break beat through it(I'm going to fix that - I still think it's got some great sounds - And parts got me punching my fist in the air - I also laugh at my own jokes... in case you're curious.

Any tips on making the outro and intro more mixable .

You need better kicks. They sound dull and small. That region - 60hz down is yours to use - especially on your boom kicks. You're boom kicks should be massive. The other kicks should be punchy and drive the groove. Also I think you've got the most interesting and powerful stuff down to far in mix - the sharp stuff a little too high.

A good kick is hard to find - I only have one I really like. I hear great kicks on other recordings but on my own I'm only kind of getting to it now.

To do a good low frequency boom kick - get a sample of an 808 kick - put it in your sampler - set the attack really long, play around with the notes until you get a good sound. Kill the frequencies above 60 Hzs (or Whatever - I'm only getting used to eq'ing - you may need to cut the low that over laps if your higher kicks coincide with the boom - it'll saturate and distort very easily)

http://soundcloud.com/four-bear/going-nowhere-demo

It would be great to get some feedback. Cheers!

Again, same thing with the kicks. And the most interesting stuff (the ooo--ahh -- ooh and the breathing are being swamped by the more incidental stuff). The high stuff just sounds to harsh to me when I turn it up . And there's a boominess in your mids. There's a whole sub level you could be putting low grumbles in etc. And you can be more dynamic. You're over repeating stings (echo claps and whizzy sounds - they're one hit things)

The spooky dead girl is being lost in there. You're losing her. You have to think of the rest of the instrumentation as her band driving her song. It's a great idea - but you should pull back the best that are not central. It's a great idea in there but it's getting lost.

Always great stuff.... but. You could use more kicks - some sub bassy whamps. Broken beat kicks - if you're in the mood. You could also do more with your hi-hats, than in betweens . You're thinking wrong about the structure too. There's no law says you have to have a kickless breakdown. It's too sterile the way you're doing it. It has to make more sense - or be absolutely totally and utterly senseless.

Hate posting after Jeffs just put up a tune

Anyway our very own Gsparx asked me to do a remix of his track Sotho
Ive not sure what ive done with it to be honest and maybe this one should have stayed on the harddrive.:(

Hard to know what to make of it but i was jamming out to it anyway so i thought id throw it up here

First mixdown so stuff is liable to change(probably the leadline in it)

Early 90s retro trance - pretty good job.

You were out surfing with your aussie friends and you got bit by a jellyfish - while we had the coldest winter since records began here, on top of the rest of the misery in the country - and are you looking for sympathy? Came to the wrong place my friend - pity that jellyfish didn't bite your knob.

it sure came close though...

yeah, yeah... i thought i'd shove your noses in it!

anyway, just got settled into a gaff here in Sydney and the broadband installed so i have a lot of catching up to do (how did the matt laws remix thingys work out?) and am looking forward to listening to all the new choons.

just posted a remix of the last track i did, Outback, in order to spread the sounds out a bit more. another track of two halves with similar compositional strokes to most of my other stuff...

Have you tried dancing to it? And I am deadly serious. You don't have to stand up to do it - you can do it in your chair - just make sure to move you hands and shake your ass. Some of your dancing ques and not that strong - I only heard some of them on the second listen through. but you should - if you know what I'm talking about have little cymbal percussion things at those points.

You're under no legal obligations to put your Hi-hats on inbetweens or even have hi-hats. You're under no legal obligation to have a kickless breakdown or even have a breakdown. And dance to it - is there something carrying the dance through the kickless breakdown.

You're percussion isn't in agreement - it doesn't have to be. But I think the main groove of the tune is between the rhodes type thingy, the bassline and the kick. You can copy the hits of the bass line onto a shaker or congo - move it a note ahead or leave it as it is. Make the lead hits agree more - other bits like the tinkling submarine thing - make it agree or get rid of it or keep it, it's up to your self.

I think you're killing your kick with compression. A harder, more percussive kick would sound good.

Put a multiband on the whole thing and kill the mids and highs and listen to it - is there a groove the whole way through. And when you put the mids and highs back on is it getting lost.

I hope you're talking about the Jellyfish.

Matt was on his way to some festival in Namibia. His plane crashed somewhere over the Congo and we haven't heard from him since.

16 f'ing minutes - just listening to it. It's pretty good - I like that kind of slow groovy 303 type ambient - reminds me of the hours and hours I used to spend playing with Rebirth. You should put some video to that - anything Surfers, shopplifters,

Since you've got out of Ireland do you feel a huge weight off your shoulders and feel creatively invigorated?

Actually, it's not true about the air crash and Matt being in the Congo. We're just telling everyone that. He was involved in this big drug deal that went horribly wrong. He's in prison and there's about 5 people dead. Real Urban Gothic blood bath thing.

Just got to the end of your track - could do with another 5 or 10 minutes - it was just getting going. That's really good stuff.

Very slick stuff there as always Steve. Lovely coming up vibe off it.

Well this is the last one I'm going to post up for a month or so, I've some reading to catch up with and this was the last one in the vaults.

http://soundcloud.com/four-bear/chunky-munky-white-line-fever-rhinelines

Cheers to Steve, krd, dave, lazy and the rest for the feedback - it's been much appreciated and really helped me have a fresh eye (ear) when working on the tunes. Thanks very much lads.

This sounds really cool. It would be nice if the stab was a bit bassier - it sounds a bit plasticy or something. The rest of the tune is cool though.

If anyones interested would love some feedback on this ..
Rock feel to this mixed with some dance stuff that breaks into a more hectic beat. Just tried to experiment as much as possible with it with live instruments

He's done a remix of Sasha's Xpander - something we've all done at sometime or other.

The beginning sounds great and I loved all the panning going on. I have to say I didn't really like the rock out part that much. I think you could make a really cool dance track expanding and adding a bit more on to the first part of the track.

After trying out something a tiny bit more interesting beat wise on the Xpander remix thing for here I did up this tune:

http://soundcloud.com/android-78/james-woods

Basically it's me trying to stretch myself a bit more beat wise. It'd be great to get a bit feedback on it. Cheers.

just a quick tip i find useful when using little snare fill-y type things as in your intro.
use two tracks for the same snare, think of one as the drummers left hand and the other as the drummers right hand. Treat each track (hand) a little differently (nb and dont have a snare hit on both tracks at the same time ... you see where i'm going?).

If you're using a sampler adjust the adsr, or even just velocity / volume, or different eq or someit different.

I find you can get a better groove going doing this ... starts to feel less robotic

Thanks, will take this on board and maybe that the direction push it needs.
Back to the drawing board and develop it some
