Man, how Prot hated that track. Opened up with some generic synth textures, though the strings were used pretty nicely, albeit quietly. Bears mentioning that the quietest claps in the world came in at :12. Even I recognize that drumloop at :21. Hey, I liked it when Freemind used it! I'll admit though, it fits pretty well within the track. The strings were jerky and badly exposed from 1:02-1:13, and those crappy clappys weren't filling out the track in the slightest. Good job though in at least changing up the instrumentation slightly from verse to verse, though I heard a rinse-and-repeat of 1:14's section at 2:11. You didn't quite change the dynamics enough to prevent the energy level from feeling static, but the effort was there. The transition to the close at 2:36 was abrupt, but the writing there was excellent. While praising some of the subtle changeups in the instrumentation, the drumloop-based groove, however, was WAY too repetitive throughout the track. You need to provide more varied beatwork so that the groove doesn't get stale; learning to write more of your own beats/percussion will help you immensely. The arrangement here wasn't bad, but it also wasn't developed enough. On the production side, for some reason, everything sounded so distant and imbalanced here. The beatwork was at a good volume level, but the melodic and supporting writing was too quiet in comparison and didn't stand out. Nice first sub though. Use our ReMixing forum to learn more about arrangement and production, and get some critique from community members in the Works forum before submitting in the future.

Vig Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 i was "feelin'" the intro...some interesting harmonies going on, but the body of the track is repetitive. simple as that, and not terribly creative. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Really repetitive with boring synths. Nice drumloop work though. Hoorary for slicing and retriggers. String stuff is way too weak as far as articulation goes. You need to define your sounds more. They're all legato and run together. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
