Something I started...

Postby Pendulum » Mon Feb 08, 2010 11:41 pm



Its just the lead sequence so far, tho I guess that's a departure from my normal methods - I usually don't get this far in a lot of my projects LOL.. at least now I can work backwards!

Mixdown is okay... needs to be smoother, tho I DO have some mastering stuff on here to beef it up a little.

Just 2 basses,, a hi hat, clap, a chord-lead, pads, and an accent melody.. and kick. Will start to add some more details to it soon :)

Would love to know what you think so far :)

Hey mate,

I'm using all software. Actually that's all one synth..... Sylenth. Ableton Live 8.1.1 is my sequencer. Vengeance CLub Essentials 3 for the hat, kick and clap. Ozone on the mastering tip!

I think 'thin' can be attributed to the tone of a sound rather than the mastering though? I find if something sounds thin, I'll go through and beef up the mids.

I did this last night in headphones, and listening this morning I can hear heaps of stuff that needs to be changed, as mine sounds 'thin' LOLs!

dude...this has loads of potential.

i like it so far, and as you said, your going to "un-thin" it, so im sure the final product will sound splendid....

keep up the good work my friend

Just uploaded a fresh mix of it... un-thinned it a bit... fixed the hi hats... they were atrocious! Added in some extra bass and acid lines :) There's a bit more to the sample too now.. still missing heaps of parts!

And the structure of the sample doesnt reflect the actual tune... there's a breakdown missing in the middle of that LOL!

Enjoy.

your saying your missing lots....i think its pretty good as it is (needs a litle clean up and here and there) but all in all i think its GREAT

remember less is more...you dont want to overcorwd it too much. what you have now rocks...

just needs a breakdown, hands in the air moment and its ready for the record label

oh, dont forget to add some vocals....SKYOCEAN can help with those :) :) :) :)

ahaha!! Some out of key piano notes in the breakdown will really make it shine Mike!

Yeah coming back to this one soon. I am working on 2 reworks at the moment to play in my sets.. when they're done I'll finish this one!
