Cool song. I don't normally give this genre a listen so I don't know how to be helpful, but everything sounds cool from my perspective. Really dark and brooding. I heard some digital clipping in there. I'd recommend turning down some of the louder levels in there that are doing that. If your not familiar with the term clipping, it's basically just digital distortion. It's that popping sound you hear when the levels peak. That would probaly be the only negative thing I have to say about this mix. Great melodies and sounds! Peace sir :)

Yes, I noticed the clipping too, but i thought it was just my headphones being really old and faulty. I usually keep a low volume level so I'm not sure exactly why I got distortions. But now that it's officialy an issue, I'm going to have to look into it, maybe I missed something. Thank you very much for reviewing.

I just gave a few of your other tracks a listen and now I'm not sure what to say. Drums, I'm not sure if your one of those guys that cares about contemporary rhythms, but if you count the rhythm in 4/4, a snare on every 2 and 4 would be nice. A hi-hat would flesh things out pretty nicely too, but after listening to some of your other songs, I'd assume you already knew that... how do you typically produce your drums? The bass/ synths sound pretty nice, and the melodies work out. All in all, good job. Again, kind of confused with the drums but what ever. It's fun to experiment and play. I'm not sure if your a fan of Squarepusher, but check out some of his work. His drums are insane.

Nice mix you got going. Chill melodies, good sounds. The only thing I'm going to complain about is the hi hat rhythm. It's kind of awkward. I like the variety you threw into the rhythm and by the second listen through the rhythm stopped being strange but that's always something to try and keep in mind while producing. I don't know what your writing process is like, but it definitely helps to take a step back from your work for a day or two so you can come back to a project with fresh ears. Sometimes you get really used to how things are in a track and you just let them be. I don't know if I've ever left you a review with this idea, but try throwing some delay on those hi hats and have it sync to the tempo. This will create instant dynamics and with a bit of practice can really flesh out a rhythm.

All in all, cool track sir!! Peace.

Sounds like you got some serious potential going on. I'd tap this. Just a few little things that might help though, up the drums a bit or turn down the surrounding instruments. In a dnb track, the drums are defiantly the most important piece of the mix. The rhythms are really cool, funky variations and syncopations. I love the metal gear solid samps ^_^

Great song sir! Keep at it!

Wrong for the right reasons

"meow"

date: August 16, 2009

haha, fucking awesome drum programing there and nice pads. I'm curious what the other reviewers are talking about in terms of the drum beat not fitting. Let's see here, it's all divisible by a constant measure... yep. That's a coherent beat alright. People get so thrown off when they hear things that syncopate. People need to learn to just throw their biased subjective opinions out the window when it comes to music. I'm guessing you're a follower of squarepusher and aphex twin? Also curious, what program do you use sir?

Author's Response:

I am a follower of Aphex twin. I actually only found him recently and he's been quite an influence on me i must say. as are plenty of other artist from every genera. The program i use is the one and only Fruity Loops. You can do a lot more with it than people would like to have you believe.

Rig - Print 'n Bass

"lulz."

date: August 16, 2009

The review below gave me an image of a happier world where printers actually have a soul/ enjoy what they do. I've said it before and I'll say it again, just entering comps makes you the default winner. Looks like you'll have to mail $40 to yourself... I took a point off so I could feign objectivity. Seriously, there's something wrong with this mix and someone out there knows what it is.

How do you do it fod? How the fuck do you do it? This composition had so many dynamic elements to it! The sound! The flare! The pizzaz! Everything came together to make something truly wonderful and mind blowing. When it comes right down to it, I know I'll never be as good as you at anything. I feel compromised listening to this. Can I... can I have a lock of your hair? p.o. box 946 wainscott NY 11975. Please, I need it :(
