I've made some music. [url]http://soundcloud.com/etzolin/elevating-pressures[/url] Also, I appreciate constructive criticism
Listening now... [editline]08:47PM[/editline] Not a fan of that clicky percussion, but the reverb and the pads are nice, along with the pluck sound... the kick drops and the track starts to build... the cowbell reminds me of faxing berlin... the buildup starts over... whoa, DAMN. If anyone reads this, listen to the track at least halfway through. It gets [i]awesome[/i]. I left some timed comments on your soundcloud link.
Great stuff Etzolin :D Seeing this link reminded me to get a Soundcloud account. I think the one thing that bugs me about the track is that the organ bit never comes back, even as a different instrument. I guess it's lacking that feeling of closure. The beats are great though, even if I would have structured it differently.
How [i]did[/i] you make that organ sound, anyways?
The middle break was really amazing, but then it dropped back into a repetitive beat with more "clicky percussion", the synth lead was awesome though.
The organ is 2 layered B4 II synths, and a simple saw :) I'll try bring that breakdown back: I'll just have to install some plugins on my stationary PC since my laptop doesn't have enough resources for the song anymore.
Not my style of music at all, but I liked it :) Nicely done. Production-wise it seems to be pretty solid, but like people said on soundcloud: needs more of that sweet middle part. Also, I'd "soften" the reverb on that "clicky" percussion like someone else mentioned, as it does sound a little odd as it is now imo. Perhaps drop a lowpass filter on the wet signal. [editline]03:01PM[/editline] Actually now that I think about it, it might also just be the compression on the percussion that's giving it that clicky sound.
The organ sounds EXACTLY like Ghosts 'n' stuff.
I've updated the song, I hope it will satisfy your needs :)

That synth lead is so good holy poop.
This really does sound superb
All you did was repeat the last half of the song
That's what they wanted him to do.
I figured he was gonna be more creative. Oh well, I guess it's really not my place to make demands.
[QUOTE=Sirdangolot5;22802877]I figured he was gonna be more creative. Oh well, I guess it's really not my place to make demands.[/QUOTE] I thought it became extraordinary, i looped it for 3-4 hours after the remake.
Nice house man. I love it.
[QUOTE=Sirdangolot5;22801592]All you did was repeat the last half of the song[/QUOTE] I added a reverse pluck, some other stuff, and in the 2nd breakdown I introduced the pluck earlier and added a piano. Also, I never used the ride in the 2nd breakdown. After the breakdown, I never used any plucks or stab effects on the bass. There's also a lot more that doesn't make it a repeation. Maybe you should listen more closely :)

Also I guess the ride should be used in the second buildup not the first, make first a bit more subtle. This way maybe it will fit with your story better because you've changed the song. [B]Edit:[/B] Then get signed.
