RE: JE5 TRAXX
Good job on both tracks. I'm not a big fan of most of the gear you use, but you got some good results. Both tracks have good classic flavor, very traditional. Scapegoat sounds very Landstrum/Schmitt influnced, while ETCHASKETCH seems a little more like stuff coming out of Chicago around '93-'95. The changes come in the right places for DJ's to love. The fills are very Landstrum in both tunes. That's not a bad thing. That guy knows his shit.
IMHO you seem to have your foundations in compositiom down pretty solidly. I'd have to hear the tracks in the proper setting, and in a better format to give you more solid advice about the engineering aspects other than saying it sounded pretty decent, with a pretty good balance in the individual sounds' levels in relation to each other on shitty little comp speakers. Carry on.
