cheers for the feedback. had a wicked weekend - went to the fair in stratford and got loadsa rides to put the tune on, then got played a few times in a club - what a feelin.

 

anyways, this was done in a studio, which pretty was using cubase 5 and halion. samples of drums & hoovers were used,l off some sample-cd...will find out name.

 

a couple of other sinths for the filler sounds, but it would seem to be that using samples does the job pretty damn well, which suprised me.

 

as for the riffs of the hoovers, I've no idea how we did that it just seemed to work at the time...

What bpm is it?? You do know that you'd have to pitch it down to be pressed (usually done about the 140 mark so that the dj playing it doesnt have to pitch down when mixing it in) At about 22 seconds it seems to lose continuity, cant quite explain what it is, but it just doesnt sound right, sounds like it goes out of time!! Im at 1.24 and its sounding a bit flat so far.. 1.42 sounding a bit better now as more is put into it!! At 3 minutes the vocal is too quiet, everythin else overshadows it, 4.07 as it builds up it seems a little bit too cluttered like there's too much going on at that point up to about 4.18ish when it kicks in which is pretty good but nothin too outstanding from whats been done so far.. ie it has the same kinda arrangement as before i think it just needs a bit of somethin to make it that little bit special!! Your outro is waaaay too long imo too, like you've wanted a tune that lasts 8 minutes but have nothing to put in it, id say cut a bit out of there and shorten it a bit or bulk the tune up thru the middle and have less of an outro!! Im thinkin that as the tune stands all round its not a bad tune and has a lot of potential but there's nothin anthemic about it so far imo!! Give it a few tweaks here and there and i think it could be much improved!! Nice work so far tho and i hope my comments have been understandable and not too harsh!! smile.gif

i agree with claire there. a good tune in progress, but not a finished artical imo. just needs some variation

 

the kick needs softening or dropped a couple of decebels as well imo

 

as for the beatrate - i wouldnt go with 140 like claire suggested. try 150. its fast enuf to be hard yet slow enuf to be house thumbs.gif (mind u - i produce (badly) at 155, and jp&jukesy's 1st tune was at 153 so it really is up to you)

I didnt mean to go to 140 i was sayin that a lot of people that i know of do it at 140 so that it can be pitched up when bein mixed.. just as an example, it hink 140 would be too slow for this myself anyway!!

arse!! just wrote a lengthy reply to ya claire and hit the back button and lost it!!

 

160bpm - we mite take it down to 155 to cater for slower sets. hehehe..

 

agree with you on most of your engineering comments (esp. 22 secs) - i'd like to spend another day on this and get it closer to perfect :-)

 

on the other hand, the tune does what we want it to do and we could let it go as is, knowing its not techincally perfect, but beauitful in the way it is punishing and very 'inward agression' - can't explain it in words, but u have to dance to it in a tight kind of way. (4:28)

 

if 'outra' means the wind down from 6 minutes then i agree with ya (apparently that extra length makes it dj friendly, i not a dj), but if u mean the extra length on the main bit (5-6 min) then that was intentional ;-)

 

your comments gladly appreciated, and not taken harshly at all :-) will show em to shenton as well and sure we'll certainly be acting on some of them*.
