I'm stumped as far as the arrangement. Any suggestions would be very apreciated!



I should also note that this is a work in progress. I haven't given it a proper mixdown yet.

The sounds that comes in about 1:03 sounds like a speaker cone has collapsed and is just splatting. I'd take it up an octave maybe or get a new sound.

Arrangement sugegstions ? I'd take the interesting delayed vocal effect and pitch-bend drone at around 3 minutes and make that the intro.

I'd also not have the drums start the song. Instead I think I'd use the little high synth bit and pmp that up - maybe put some bpm-synced delay on it. I'd also think about some heavy processing for the drums.

When the drums come in a good trick is to start them half-way through the pattern and wait for the pattern to "resolve" itself, maybe at a break.

I like the little drum fill pattern & maybe you could also use that to begin the drums ?

Hope I'm not being too critical I like this heavy analog electronic style.

I liked your choice of sounds, nice and dirty. For me though, it didn't have enough variation.
I would think about variation on the drum track - maybe making some more dirtier sections or even just dropping the drums out completely in some sections as a break down. Just dropping back to the kick or adding a new hat pattern could work as well. I also agree with the last comment that you would be better off not starting with the drum track and dropping that in half way through a loop cycle.
I liked the long pitch bend on that single note but thought it could benefit from some random modulation effects here are there.

Hope this is constructive.

Thanks Spirit & Bigrace! Both of you have very good suggestions. I give'em a try!

nice track does the job.

that beat is damn groovy

Hey,

I am a NYC club DJ. I like this. I play stuff similar to it. Put some tribal drums, or some low toms to fill it up and the classic 909 hh and clap, and I'll floor test it for you and let you know how it goes.
