I was up all night working on this, and finally finished mastering it! I hope you all enjoy the song, any input is greatly appreciated. Keep in mind that I have only been producing since November 1st, 2010 and have been teaching myself, haha.

I would also really enjoy some input on my Wo Bist Du remix!

Tune's awesome

little repetitive at times, and you could bring the drums out a bit more, but I think you get away with it, props.

Thank you, I'm glad you like the song!! For some reason I greatly enjoy songs that have one melody that plays throughout the song with a few little additions here and there, different instruments, it seems to make a song stay with you (in my opinion). I'l be sure to raise the volume of the drum track a bit more. Yet again, thanks

I updated the track with a newly mastered version

Very hype. Like this a lot. I really like how the rhythm you got, like the background instrument, how it interplays with the beat. Bring the drums up more and you'd have a right banger!

Glad you like it!! Thank you. I completely forgot to turn up the drums, I replaced the track with one with louder drums

Loving the 'Tron' feel on this track lol. It's a great track, I totally agree with the single melody and adding things on top approach. If I'mcompletely honest, the drums still aren't quite doing it for me just yet. Up the high-mids on the kick and they'll pretty much be there. Hope this helped.

Oh man, Tron, a two hour Daft Punk music video! Loved it! I kind of get the Tron feel too haha. Thanks for the input, I'm currently uploading a track with a different drum setting. Hope it sounds better

Finished uploading it, yet again messed with the mastering to make it sound a little better. I also changed the sound of one of the synths a tad bit.

Loving the feel of this track! Definitely has that Daft Punk Tron vibe to it. Great progression in this track. I agree with the comments above the drums, I feel like they need EQ'ing as they sound like they're muddled under the mix. Perhaps choose other drum sounds, or try layering a few samples together as well? Great work otherwise.

CowardlyLion · Post by **CowardlyLion** » Fri Apr 01, 2011 8:30 am

Thank you so much! It feels great to be compared to Daft Punk, they're legends. I saw them in France at Alive 2007, amazing show. Sadly percussion is my severe downfall due to a lack of samples and just lack of an ear for percussion. I'll keep working at it though, I do hope I'll improve! Thank you for the input

And yet again, great job on your track, it was very impressive.

No problem, good luck! I had a question for you regarding my other track I would greatly appreciate if you can answer! Check my thread, thanks!

CowardlyLion · Post by **CowardlyLion** » Fri Apr 01, 2011 8:36 am

Yup I noticed, I've replied! No problem at all

Yea man love the vibe on this, like the others said though bring the drums up... There also seems to be some sort of sub distortion every time the drum beats, kinda sounds like when you've got a kick with loads of sub energy hitting the same time as your sub bass, maybe try EQing the kick with a low cut filter..... Apart from that, sick tune.

CowardlyLion · Post by **CowardlyLion** » Fri Apr 01, 2011 8:48 am

Thank you, Tec! I'm using a TR-808 kick with Ultrabeat on Logic Pro, for some reason every time the kick hits it redlines the Ultrabeat track, but at a low volume at which it doesn't, I can't hear it at all! I'll do my best to improve the sound of it though, thank you for the advice and I'm glad you enjoyed the song!

Whop a compressor on that and nudge the gain up

Like the track though, some pretty sweet melodies in there.

Will do! Thanks a lot

CowardlyLion · Post by **CowardlyLion** » Fri Apr 01, 2011 10:56 pm

Alright, I just finished uploaded what should be a version with fixed drums, haha.

I dig the feel of the song, and I'm finding myself liking your melodies a lot. The additions seems to come at just the right time and they fit just about perfectly. Props, my man.

Thank you very much, I'm glad you you enjoyed the tune! I've also just finished an Eleanor Rigby remix.
