Really good mix and master

Submitted by DJ Shiver on Mon, 2006-04-17 20:33.

Really good mix and master and overall production is awesome. Like the first vocal sample but surely Darth Vader's d&b days are numbered. Love the crazy high freq business. Overall superb, wish i could make tunes like this

78 - Man, that some serious

78 - Man, that some serious exciter/maximizer on this track, the hats are sharp as fuck sounds like theres a peak at 8-12k that could become tiring on the ears.  I like the Darth Vader samples used, excellent choice there.  Bassline is pretty mean, sounding very threatening there.  Sounds like you guitar-amped it.  Phat.  

The atmospheres are really cool as well.  Strong groove and hectic dark groove to this.  Drums are hard but the compression on the track isn't exactly transparent as it should be...its sucking air/noise from the ambience.  The repeptitive nature of the groove probably means this isn't for eveyone, but I like the sick bassline and the power in it.  My sort of style.

78 - umm, ok very good production, but could be more to my liking if it did not have these sounds: strings, and blips, and have been substituted with all evil sounds designed out to scare the listener, and make them shit them selves.  its all about a balancing act of dark vocal samples and dark musical sounds, I think these sounds are kind of neutral, they are not up to par in darkenss, they could be way darker, with the purpose of making the listern feal very uneasy.  very easy to achieve by taking the sounds you used and putting them throught fmx modulation/sine amp modulation(flstudio) in other words making them sound metalic, and creating a layer pithcing up one and then down the other, then eqing it into the mix, hence turing a neutral blip into a hellish shadow that comming to get you and take you away. Evil lol drums are good, and the bass sounds the boomiest out of all on my speakers, and cheap headphones.


Nasty dark shit, I like it

Nasty dark shit, I like it Intro is wicked so is the break, it lets itself down a little after the drop though. one of my favroite tunes in the comp. think I used the same Vader sample in a tune I made a few years back

Heavy... well used samples!

Heavy... well used samples! I liked the breaks but they seemed a bit washed out to me, maybe competing for space with one of the synths?  I was waiting for a thicker bassline with the second drop (around 5 min mark) but no luck.  Otherwise a good full sound and plenty of darkness to go around


Dark vibe. Works out nice in

Dark vibe. Works out nice in the intro. Drums are a bit flat could need some more punch. Reece is nice not synthish in anyway and works nice. Nice drop. It lacks some power though. Maybe a better mix could help it, some compression on drums etc. A more dynamic flow maybe? FXs and vocal samples are just in a very nice way. There are some samples I dont like that much like that yo ya. But others are amazing. It gets a bit reperative in the end but a pretty well produced track. nice work.
