not my kinda music but its groovy and very slick production-wise Smilie_PDT

i wouldnt say its mastered badly but if it were mastered a bit better it would make it a lot more effective and playoutable. i'd try making the kick and snare a bit snappier if poss, with a some compression on the mix carefully pumpin it without losing definition. maybe try a sidechain from the kick to the synth.

this is all pickyness and down to taste! its very good. u should be making some $$ from your productions

Cheers for the reply Tim. I totally agree with your comments I think as it is it's a little flat and could certainly do with a bit of sharpening up.

Never really been very good at the mastering side myself but Pilch (alcapella) is more than capable when he set's his mind to it !!

Hey some replies - about bloody time to Smilie_PDT

Cheers everyone for your feedback.

Cj - I'm a cans man only purely cus of living in apartments (could never have the volume I'm used to with monitors.

My process for mastering (laughs) = runnin' the 24bit .wav through MultibandComp in Wavelab. By no means do I really know what I'm doing really but if anyone WOULD like to offer to have me send all the parts and MASTER it for me please be my guest.

Cheers guys

p.s I would really love to hear more feedback when I post AND whenl other members take the time to post their tracks aswell.. come on support the site a bit more and ppl's efforts will ya! - it's not all about download pellas ;)

Smilie_PDT my bad.....i've seen it up for a couple of days n' just got a chance to check it....

Well, I've never been a fan of long buildups but I think it's well worth it in this case to set the groove of the track - those main parts are kickass. I cant really listen to house unless its groovy like this.

its hard to put my finger on where the lessened sound quality stems from without knowing how you made the track. Sounded dry in the spots where there wasnt a bassline but I bet you can make it sound fine when you're mixing on set.

Cheers Tim, Creamy + Deefex.

Reason for scratch pallete of sounds.
LiVE for final sequencing +
Wavelab 5 for mild mastering.

Wicked, wicked track... can't wait to hear it at WMC this March.

Is the vocal an original recording or an accapella? If so, where is it from and which artist?

NASTY!

Gotta say mate its the most well rounded and produced tune on this forum yet and a great inspiration to all us budding producers.......

Samples are good and the arrangements work well together, but as mentioned before the mastering cud do with a 'extra touch up' but all in all EXCELLENT work!!


Is there any tips you lot can offer us for realistic funky house sounds because your tune sounds 'like a propper made commercial house tune'
