Except a good part of it is rather dark. Go figure. It's drum'n'bass. Let me know what you think folks. Thanks.

Yes. Thanks Influx. I've done it already. Just couldn't get it uploaded last night. Maybe it'll go up tonight. Made the transitions work too. I like it.

K! You said a long time ago that I list d'n'b as one of my genres but never write any. Wait til I get the new mix up, but this is finally a d'n'b track. Woohoo! It's a start anyway.

wow sitar that's pretty tough. you've got a real chaotic style, frantic. I think I like your stuff best when it's at it's hardest but (insert usual bit about computer speakers here). I remeber digging that 9/11 one too. pretty ill. I ordered earthlink yesterday, so I look forward to downloading (and others) tunes to give them a proper listen at home.

Thanks Knowa. Yea I like this tune. Might be too frantic. I don't know. But I like it. A better mix of it is waiting patiently for uploading. Congrats on getting earthlink.

And Influx, "damn sitar! feelin pissy?"

Nah. Just starting to get more blood in my veins. Wait til you see what I'm like in 2 months. I'll be totally unbearable

It's up and it's better I think. Will have to change one of the kick drums though. Another day. "The Sun Shines For You 2nd mix".

I listened..and it seems very quiet and...no highs....

not necessarily muddy, just not clear. not the typical lofi MP3 sound either

do you ever look at your mixes on a spectral analyzer? like wavelab or the like?

No I haven't. I wouldn't know what to look for. I burnt it to cd last night for someone at workk to hear and it sounds real good. Bass is kicking and the hats are crisp. I have a lot going on with hats and cymbals in this track....short fast hat rolls and stuff and it's all clear. My cymbals seem to diffuse immensely when I encode to mp3. I'm obviously not doing something right.

What do you think of it as a song though?

sounds as if the bass is taking up a lot of headroom - I dunno how the encoding thing works, but maybe the mp3 encoding process is looping off a load of the tops as the bass is so strong?

Nice track anyway, maybe a little bit too busy in parts although that might be due to not being able to pick out the tops too well. So yeah, pretty good .....apart from the arp ;)

I love the bass, I can't relate to the drum much tho', a tad too syncopated weird for my taste. The bass is gorgeous tho'

I might thin out the drums some and will definately change out the hard kick for a more hollow d'n'b style kick. Don't know what I was thinking really. The basses are taking up lots of headroom and I was thinking today that I should start my tracks at lower levels so by the time I'm done I'm pulling the mains up rather than down to stay around the red zone. Is that a good idea???

Thanks a lot for the input.
