yeah man, good work
i like the pattern a lot! there's just one or two hits that need a bit of tightening up to make sure the pattern is perfectly explicit, if you get me... a pattrn that 'mad' (good though!) needs to be on the fookin money and only one or two hits confuse matters a little. that's me being proper anal though :d
the bass it a bit loud when it comes up, maybe tip the balance in favour of the low end and watch them mids a bit. also watch the first harmonic or two as they're messing with the kick a little.
the big thing is that there's a number of pretty bad clicks in here - it's possibly the bass file that you've chopped up or something. see 5mins 37s (and 200ms ) - that's a pretty bad click.
you've got quite a lot of headroom going spare by the way - is this straight out of the sequencer, or have to done stuff to it after?
blah blah blah sorry... good tune, though the bass is a little much for me personally
love the voice sample in the middle
love it!

thanks man
the clicking you mention
im sure that happened in the mixdown somehow, probally my shitty compression, as for it being cos i chopped the bass up, the bass is straight outta rop papen blue no sampler used 
, i can hear what you mean thoits not straight outta the seqeuncer either, i bounced everything then did the mixdown with all the bounced wavs, (tried to make sure nothing clipped ,but maybe somethings a gwarn there)
i did attempt to do some mastering on it aswell
some multiband comp (linmb) and some l3, actually mighnt have been the blue tubes brickwall i used 
good candidate for bobs mastering i reckon

Why MB comp?
How did you use it?
It might or might not be the bass clicking - I'd look at the files and see what gets cut that thos bar lines, and apply tiny fades in and out around the cut.

simply because i read somewhere its a good comp to use on your mastering chain,
basically i seletcted the multi electro mastering preset, let the song play all the way through, then set thresholds to peaks, set gain makeup to auto, pull master threshold down till dynamics are in the middle of the blue thing, adjusted master attck slightly till the low bands stabalised a bit and then adjusted the master release till the low bands are nearly horizontal, admitedly i got all this from an onlione mastering tutorial

ive a feeling it could be the kick,
fuck knows tho 22nd July 2007, 13:04

Ok. 'Can be' a god thing. Can be bloody awful.
Quote:let the song play all the way through, then set thresholds to peaks
some good advice here
Quote:set gain makeup to auto, pull master threshold down till dynamics are in the middle of the blue thing
Any idea what gain reduction that was?
Quote:adjusted master attck slightly till the low bands stabalised a bit and then adjusted the master release till the low bands are nearly horizontal, admitedly i got all this from an onlione mastering tutorial
Nearly horizontal
It's a useful guide, the dynamic line, but, well, it isn;t your ears and it is subject to latency, imprecision etc etc...
Did you bypass the thing plenty to see if it actually improved matters?
I've always found MB comp kills punch. It got to the stage where I was setting all the attacks so long (especially in the mid range) as to make the whole deal virtually pointless... and I still preferred the sound without it.
Just my 2c - I just prefer to treat each thing in the mix to avoid using it... MB comp can fuck with punch and mix balance so much, even at seemingly moderate settings. Bypass bypass bypass
I might go back and have another fiddle with it with the bit more experience I have (not used it for at least a year) and see...
Anyway...

think im gonna do a remix ( proper remix, not re edit )
ive done one on another song recently using a urs comp instead of the linmb and that did sound a lot better actually
allthough maybe i should just get the mixdown sounding swish and then just fucking leave the master, cos im just clutching at straws with the mastering

funky fresh fada fatness f'real.
i like the bass, but cos of the sound of it, im not feeling the long droney notes. the worbworbedworbness bits sounds zing, so mo' worbs. i say.

that is exactly what i was thinking
22nd July 2007, 13:31
its funny you mention, half of the people whove heard it like it for the long droney bass, others dislike it for that reason, it was my intention to make 99% of the bass edits from lfos and other mods aswell, suppose i could get in there and funks with it a bit more

If you like it then leave it in. It is a matter of taste

Sounds nice. I think the bass does move too much. I'd say keep it like it is in the intro, moves around far too much at the end. You could use a hipassed version of it to do the mad stuff at the so as to keep the bline running.
Will need to give it more of a listen than on one earphone at work, sneaking a quick listen while management aren't about
