Re: DataLife - Electric Head (deep/dark/psychedelic) WIP
didnt drop hard or satisfyingly enough for it to be worth the lengthy buildup

Re: DataLife - Electric Head (deep/dark/psychedelic) WIP
thanks for listening
I wasn`t going for any major drop though.
It`s all in the details

Re: DataLife - Electric Head (deep/dark/psychedelic) WIP
thanks brother
I agree it`s too long
it is a wip though so there are a few things worth revisiting

Re: DataLife - Electric Head (deep/dark/psychedelic) WIP
I love the "bug zapper" feel to the end with the synth effects (sorry only term that came to mind). I agree that it might be too long, but with the atmosphere it keeps me interested. But there is something missing to me. I know that is just easy to say and leave it at that - but would a hand shaker add something or something with a minimal sound?

Re: DataLife - Electric Head (deep/dark/psychedelic) WIP
For sure
I think the snare line needs turning up in the last section.
Plus theirs actually more going one, I just need to turn up some volume on a synth or 2.
I think it needs a bit of snap throughout, to give it more of a foot tap feel.
Someone else commented to a similar degree.

Keep tweaking it and rolling with it - it's a cool twist! In a deeper way it reminded me of Emalkay's Crusader where I'm sure there is a definite drop but to me its like climbing a mountain in a car, you've got your foot on the gas and everyonce in a while you don't have to press down as much, but over all you are still keeping your foot on the accelerator. I guess I need to crank the tune louder in my car! HA!

Re: DataLife - Electric Head (deep/dark/psychedelic) WIP
nice, something a bit different. theres alot going on but doesnt get too overwhelmed. I like the bassline in the second drop, just not too keen on the higher synth. personal preference tho. nice percussion. good job

I have noted some of your comments and modified the track to suite.
Let me know what you think.

Re: DataLife - Electric Head (deep/dark/psychedelic) WIP
mate, this is very nice. lovely stuff. i'd maybe have a subtle high hat in the first bit to allow a dj to mix the intro, but it builds really nicely. i'm not to concerned with the length if you got hard with it and changed up to a heavier kick and snapping snare to really finish of brutally. i'd prob make this happen around the 5:30 - 6:00 mark.
Re: DataLife - Electric Head (deep/dark/psychedelic) WIP
just listened to the second version and you seem to do this anyway... but i'd go harder... wicked stuff, man.

Sounds nice eh?





Re: DataLife - Electric Head (deep/dark/psychedelic) WIP
Oh my, the second is such an improvement - 6 minutes is well worth it. I love the build throughout the song and the final few seconds feels like a loved one has left me and you're looking for them to come back. The 8 minute was a bit too long and the 6 is emotional. I like it (yes, I know, confusing series of statements). Plus your 4.5 gigabytes is a deep rolling tune! Largeness!!!!
