Nice work. Are all of the Amen chops manual? or did you use a plugin like sugarbytes or glitch? nicely done! reminds me of oldskool omni trio or something.

I'd probably lessen the white noise / distortion thats saturating the drums though. or layer another track with the drums on, as a "dry" track! either way. Decent effort!

The Amen Chops are Manual...and thnx 4 da feed

decent effort man, I like how the drums sound (like youve got some sort of reverb on the kit) guitar parts work nicely too!! I'd eq a bit more top end into the snare, give it more presence.

Also, I cant hear much in the way of a sub bass. Maybe layer a sine onto another track and have it follow the same note progression as your distorted bass sound. Melodically excellent, and overall the sound is good. A bit more work on the mixdown will turn this from a good track into a great track! keep it up bro 4.5/5

Nice work, Sounds like something that should be on Warp Records, or Rephlex! very aphex twin inspired tune!

Good track, although i'm not sure on the bpm, i think for this style of progressive track, 138 would have been better than 142. I'm not keen on the drum samples either. i think a more hissy hihat, instead of the typical tr909 open hat would have been nicer, and a more punchy kick (something from Vengeance Essential Clubsounds 3 pack would be great). The strings sound like they're slightly off key sometimes. This could be an artifact due to the overall frequency spread of the track at that particular point. The latin guitar parts sound good, and fit in nicely. decent effort though! 4.5/5 / 5. Check out some of mine if you get the chance! thanks

Great track, most of my inspiration for music came from the New Wave movement in the 80's. Authentic sounding, great vocals (although i think they could be a bit louder, and possibly a bit more low cut) all in all 5/5. I have voted accordingly! XD

very nice track. professional sounding. Nice job on the mixdown and mastering efforts. its nice to find someone on newgrounds who can grasp the concept of sidechaining (assuming you didnt achieve the ducking effect by using volume automation?) regardless of how you did it, the net result is the same. great track. I'll have to go listen to it on my studio pc, as i only listened through my laptop speakers (which are actually very good) check some of my stuff if you have the time or inclination. I think we could teach each other a few things on production techniques :P

Hey there, decent track. i like the chord progressions and the synth are quite nice. i think that the hats and cymbals kind of overpower the drums a bit. maybe group the percussion tracks and give them a touch of sidechained compression. using the kick as the sidechain source. you could probably get away with doing it to the melodies and pads too. give it a bit of a pump and bring out the drums more. maybe have some motion and filtery type stuff on the baseline too. maybe even some distortion. check my tunes and tell me weather or not you think i'm qualified to comment on yours or not! :-) 4/5

Alloud responds:

Thank you for the feedback :D

I never really found the hats 'n cymbals overpowering... They've been stereo separated a bit so they'd be "out of the way". As the track currently sits, the bassline is sidechained to the kick, which is what I'd hope would give it that extra motion. I don't really want to distort it anymore than it already is since I wanted a fairly clean sound.
Bringing the drums out more seems to be a common request though.

I'll take what you said in to account though when I do the final mix, thanks again.

I make electronic music. I especially love producing Drum and Bass music.
