I've stuck a new one on myspack - I've tried to give it a nice dry mixdown but have only got headphones...

It's called 'Slope' - does the mix sound right?

Any other comments welcome... :wink:

Nobody?

You can tell me if you think its crap, just as long as you say why... :)

hard to tell how a mixdown "sounds" on myspace, becaue it gets all compressed and changes its sound drastically.

Hmmmm...I see your point.

Here's a 320:

Gimme feedback if you can be bothered.

Also not sure about the last bit where that off beat synth comes in at the end - listened to it too many times now and lost all objectivity... :?

Ez,
i'm not much good a feedback, but i rekon you got some good stuff going on,i like slope, phat the way the drums bounce off each other.and the bass line is heavy. good shit

As for judder, I'm maybe not so keen on the intro drumkit...maybe its a bit too much verb on it or maybe (if it were me) i would have a try with a different kit...although im listening to it now, and it just seems like in areas the snr doesn't fit in so well (sounding wise), not sure though. maybe just me. I like the way the trak progres' though,.
As for the mixdowns not sure how much help i can give you, it all sounds pretty good to me,but like Marsyas said its hard cuz of myspace.. what did u mixdown using?

Got some traks up on site below, see wat u think. any feedbak apreciated

i like the way 'slope' switches, hot bass line, i agree with Octave_Noize, the drums really do bounce off one another

Cheers for checking it out and bothering to leave feedback guys - much appreciated.

@Octave - I'm having a little fiddle with the intro of Judder as I kind of agree with you...

Easy.

@Octave_Noize - I've softened the hand claps a bit and slightly altered the intro drum pattern so it is a little more regular...

Think it sounds better now, cheers. :wink:

I've stuck another new one up as well if you're interested - 'Bad Operation'.

Easy.
