Everything except the background drum loop was written by me from scratch and the song features hard filtering on the snare, EQ for the hi-hats and bass drum (lots of reverb on it to give a sort of heartbeat sound), filtered & distorted sub bass, ultra-long reverb/delay “trancey” strings (used four tracks for the chords), and an acoustic guitar melody.
I think I used at least one effect on each track (with sends for the 2 guitar & 4 string tracks).
First of all I love the gutar! Excellent, clean samples!
Like the filters you’ve done on the strings, makes it kind of a dreamy swoosh sound. Very full, surrounding sound
About the snare, i think it might have had a LITTLE too high EQ, it kind of stands out from all the rest… The melody, as i feel it, needs a snare that fits the… “wholeness” (?) of the song alittle better. I get the impression it’s a sort of a dark melody. The snare should be a little darker
Like the hi hats tho
Now for my favourite part the phat-planet (by leftfield) sound-alike sub bass that keeps goin “whooob… wheeeep, whoooolp, whloooop” hehe gotta love it
Uhm, before you publish this, please, try to make it less “boring”, that is, it needs a little more variety… make a few “stops” here and there maybe, i dunno, at least that’s how i feel about it try to make it more variated, i think is the right word.
Thanks.
It is a work in progress though so it needs some more variation of the drum sequences and some tweaking of the guitar melody maybe to make it more realistic.
