Nice vocal mix with a kickass sub-bas doin it for me.
Nice relaxing atmospheric sound and with a good flow to the beats, definetly a favourite. Some more cymbals would be great btw, to fill out the sound a little bit more...

This one is probably my favourite, great bassline, nice breaks, and some good producing in general is what makes it for me. What you need is a great hook, maybe a vocal of some sort.

The Storyteller by Noctuary: The title goes really well

The title goes really well with the tune. Can't help missing some sort of lead in this, like a massive bassline or melodie, it all kinda stays in the background. But its a great soundscape u managed to produce here, almost like a movie.

Cool tune, with some nice vocals running in the background, and a massive bassline.
But the beats feels a little of place sometimes, as if you took 2 beats and layerd them on top of each other.

Sweet Coffee Of Your Love by Kondencuotas Pienas: Love these kind of mellow

Submitted by logical1 on Sun, 2007-01-14 16:41.

Love these kind of mellow ambient jazzy tunes. Great bassline and nice soundscapes.
But im missing some energy to the beats, you should try working on the main snare a little bit more, give it more of a punch.

Un-S3vR by Harikiri: Ok i really like most parts

Ok i really like most parts of this track, but the drums are seriously damaged, sounds like there in an other room, they need toi come out more in the mix. Basicly you should take a look at the master eq.

dark red by ruffian: Great production skills your

Great production skills your showing here. But there's something wierd with the sound, like its shut in or something. Could use some work on the snare to make it sound more solid as well

only the good things by dj scape: I got a wierd reaction when

Submitted by logical1 on Sun, 2007-01-14 16:46.

I got a wierd reaction when i first listened to this track, sounds like u over-compressed it or something, cant really put my finger on it but something isnt right here.
The rest of the tune on the other hand is pretty good.

Ray of Light - Madonna by Contayjen: Pretty decent track u got

Submitted by logical1 on Sun, 2007-01-14 16:25.

Pretty decent track u got here, but im missing a bit more cymbal sounds to help the feeling of fast beats. Pretty cool choice of tune to mix.
I like the punchy fell to the beats.

chasing butterflies by djobscure: I like the mix of the mellow

Submitted by logical1 on Sun, 2007-01-14 16:28.

I like the mix of the mellow mood with the hard beats, good combo.
Missing more of an aggressive bass-sound.
Good punch on the kickdrum, although the snare could need a bit more of work to it.

Its a nice track basicly, but the vocals and pretty much everything feels so borrowed. I recognise so many of the FX and samples in general, doesn't really feel like an original.
