Intelligent Techno Caribbean HipHop (or ITCH) that is. Try to dance to the first minute and then try not to dance to the rest. The way I like it. Still having trouble mixing but it's far far better than the last track I put up. Comments welcom.

The rebuffering might be the temporary server thing K was talking about. I listened last night after uploading and it was fine on my 56k. Sorry about that though. No XL-1 on this (IN DEFERENCE TO XOXOS). The caribbean riff, if that's what you're talking about is working the velocities on layered organ presets. Thanks for listening. Someday when I get good at this, you'll be hearing some awesome tracks that won't have my imprint on them. :P Sorry about that too.

look at you, bragging about your presets again  IMHO there's a bit too much "shhh" and "ssst" type sounds in the mix with the sizzly, white noise-y hat sounds that come in at 0:20. at 3:58, they drop out for a bar or two and it sounds real good. I would like it better if they dropped out more often or for longer maybe even didn't appear until later in the track as a crescendo. anyway, 2 cents.

Thanks Knowa. Don't mess with my presets :P

I guess I like the hats I have in the mix. I think they add something to the slipping in and out of the other drums in the kit. But thanks. I'll listen again with that in mind.

I should have noted that perhaps the computer speakers I must listen on accentuate the "sshhh" sounds. I think we have pretty different taste in general too, so a grain of salt, with one my comments should be taken. just wanted to comment cuz work is slow this week.

That's ok Knowa. I appreciate the input. My taste is varied. Just trying different things. Next will be a trance track most likely.

Actually my taste is pretty different from Sitar's too but I really like this one. The noisiness of it appeals to me.

Thanks Marianimal. Like I was saying, I haven't really developed anything like a style yet. Just doing different things. I still rarely use my sampler which would make a big difference in the way I write. Problem is that my time is so tight, if I have to start loading samples and playing with them I'd never get anything done. If I don't start and finish a track on my days off from work it usually goes into the recycle bin the next week.

Also when I sit down to do a track I don't really think in terms of a genre. Maybe I need to do that. Like I had no thought in mind of writing a hip hop groove when I started this track. It just morphed. A case of the tail wagging the dog I guess. Or monsters of the id if you will
