sounds cool,

need to turn up 'dial' a lot - cant hardly hear it when the bass comes in

the bass sounds good, u dont need to change it, maybe hav a it playing a different tune at parts?

bass break down at 2:04 is heavyyyyyyyyyy!!! big up!

need to add some alternatives to the beat, especially the hi hat that runs the whole way...

the middle bit sounds good wen the original bass bit comes back in.,

like the change at 630 ish where the tune comes back in,

overall, heavy tune m8!

Cheers pauly, much appreciated... i know the vocals need turning up!.. workin on that now!

and i might change the bass pattern like you said, give it a different arrangement...

ill probably come back later with a updated version...

Is there too much vocal in there?

not likeing it too much bit but 8 minits WOAH! i like the use of the start of chopper tune

i waz thinkin f of making a remix

Dial's lyrics need to be crisper and locked tighter if possible. It's sounding mushy at the moment.

beat's nice...the chords are cool too

bline is solid.

I'd lose a good portion of the lyrics...clouds the mix too much...and if this is an intro song, what's the deal with 8 minutes?

The hats are far too repetative - you need more rythms.

You've but too much reverb on the vocals turn it down and up the volume.

It not bad bad it does all sound quite repetative - like youve looped the same tune round 3 times

**Qwest** · 25-05-2002, 05:55 PM

Sen, dials lyrics where a lot crisper. But someone told me the tune didnt sound right. The vocals sounded like he was just MCin over the top, and not on the tune if you get my drift, so i added a reverb to it. hence maybe its sounding mushy...

Im gonna be losin some of the lyrics, even dial said there was too many

, and nah, it aint an intro!

Stylus, im gonna mess around with the hats later on tonight or tomorrow!.

Im also lockin off the reverb on the vocals, and pauly c said i should turn the vocals up, so it shall be done!..

and yeah, it does sound repetative, but i was just settin down the lyrics, workin out how it flows with the beats & bassline etc.. blah blah!... so when i work on it again, ill be addin some effects, some more alternatives for the beat & bassline, give the tune some more variety!

Yer likin this one mate, what tempo is it...sounds quite fast. If this aint an intro I assume that you will be pressin up some whites. If you do let me know man cos id love a copy.

I agree with the fact that there is too much reverb, but i think that Real Player might be contributing to that, I love the little high hat repetition on the transition periods. Im not really feelin the harsh sirens on the intro, they kinda remind me of Hard House.

The tune moves along nicely and it is nicely spaced and sounds very well produced.

Keep up the good work,

Peace

Its at 140bpm... so yeah, it is quite fast... i forgot to take down the tempo when dial done the lyrics, and i cant be arsed to change the lyrics... i wont get this pressed at this stage.. i wanna take it to a proper studio to get it done! although dial wants it pressed asap!

Reverb is on its way out, i might keep a little bit in there.. not too sure yet... and the sirens.. ill tell you about teh sirens

... i started the initial track, with the beats etc.. and i done a melody. When i played it back, the melody sounded like "Zinc - Hello".. so i added those sirens in to see how it sounded.. but i still aint too sure about em!

**Deztruction** · 02-06-2002, 04:08 PM

dont like the chords 2 b on honest.

bass is ok. clouds his vocals tho.

beat aint bad at all.

not bad.

big up my mate dial keepin this on the d-lo.

i would start by turning up dial. slow it to about 138 bpm, that way dial has more freedom to express his lyrics. then give the tune a bit more variety as it progress (e.g. more percussion, or slightly altered bassline) it is generally 2 repetitive. and if you do nothing else, change the hat pattern mate.

its a nice 1st draft.
big it, hold it...

**Qwest** · 03-06-2002, 07:12 AM

lol @ dial keepin it on the downlow...

i have turned up his lyrics for the 2nd draft... ive also altered the bassline, and gave the beats some variation.

TomEt, dont you like that hat pattern?

and as for the beats, i might change em... as like trilogy said, they sound too muffled.. SampleShack business

hold tight for v2

**TomEt** · 03-06-2002, 10:17 AM

sorry man, that hat pattern it 2 dominant. if u like it then turn it down a little, it stands too proud from the rest of the tune if you know wot i mean mate? but i dont really like it that much.

where did u do the vocals? r u usin fruity?

big it up.
