was listening to some old paradox the other day and i felt a bit inspired..

the bassline needs a bit of work after the drop but overall i'm pretty happy with the tune.. just a mellow drumfunk number with a tinge of paranoia

your comments appreciated Blue

on the dl, will post a comment a little bit later Grin
alright there Smile

listening now man. nice groove! that break is hard to get sounding human cos of the cymbal hits each bar though Wink . the eq needs a bit of work imo , it sounds a little nasal on my speakers here. fuzz and boog can sound proper classy!

but i like this a lot man, nice sounds, nice feeling. not trying to reinvent the wheel, but 'just a mellow drumfunk number with a tinge of paranoia' as you say - but well done Xyxthumbs

yeah i agree the break could use more eq work.. i always have a problem taking out the mudiness but leaving the chunkiness.

thanks for the listen and the kind words.. glacial thanks as well Smile Jig
quality tune.. as macc said, just touch up on the master + mix and it'll be perfect.

musically, its great.

nice one. Cool

I think maybe less eq work would be a good way to start. I think (judging on my work PC speakers though!) you need to give it a trim in the nasal area, ie 600-800 or thereabouts.

Remember man, get rid of the shit before boosting the good bits. Smile

good shtuff Icon_yippee

feeling those wide soundscapes and the sparely used sub..
i do feel that there isn't much progression in the whole song?
The break sounds loopish after a while..

could be just me, but that was my first impression last night
yeah this is nice - i love the break you used, although it does sound a little thin and too much higher freq 'ringing' so to speak - but i'm listening on shit pc speakers too... dont think it really needs that much more variation though, cos it just rolls so well by itself

cool sounds - definitely has the paranoid tinge you speak about Smile

yeah i always do subtractive eq.. i think i've just subtracted a bit too much and not enough in the right places as you say Smile

thanks for all the comments folks Grin
i redid the eq on the drums.. it doesn't sound like you're listening to them on the phone any more Grin
