Album is getting closer to completion and I'm starting to refine my sound even more on a song-by-song basis.

Re: [Album Preview] Mentalistic Tendencies
I found this one kind of boring and repetetive. The parts are good for a short while but it drags on imo. More variation would be nice.

Re: [Album Preview] Mentalistic Tendencies
Idk what song spitfire was listening to lol, but this shit is tight. Nice mysterious intro, with a nice sub-drop with some nice drum breaks. Overall this a pretty solid track.Comment

Re: [Album Preview] Mentalistic Tendencies
It's not that it's badly made. I like what is made, but not how long it goes on. From 0:43 onward there's hardly any significant variation and it just kind of drags on. I think the problem is the constant amen break that never ends.Comment

Re: [Album Preview] Mentalistic Tendencies
I'm kinda with Spitfire. I like the elements that are there, but it feels kinda dry. The vocal would be really good if you compressed it, it makes everything duck out a little bit.Comment

Re: [Album Preview] Mentalistic Tendencies
Everything said previously. One thing that always bugs me about breakcore posted on FFR is that it usually only uses one drum loop for the whole song, and while they may edit the shit out of it, it's still boring. Mix different breaks, layer etc. I agree with midnightraver that the vocals are too loud. Mix them to an appropriate level with everything else, since everything else is too quiet. I like the vocals though. They remind me of LaByRa by Datach'i.Originally posted by tuvComment

Re: [Album Preview] Mentalistic Tendencies
so much hate :<
Naw. I fully agree, I had problems with the vocals... first they were overtly quiet now they are too excited.
Also the second repetition will be changed with a mix of different amens and perhaps a new melody.
Thanks for all the honest critique.Comment

Re: [Album Preview] Mentalistic Tendencies
I liked it, but like there were things I picked up. . For me the mixing was pretty poor, the amen break was really high leaning in terms of frequencies along with the fact that it was really over compressed. Some of the synths were a bit, high too. . and I had to turn it down when you had that breathing synth. . Vocals didn't really belong to me, you could hear it's been sped up. Honestly there's nothing wrong with it in terms of notation, idgaf about amen break sample, it's coo'. The mix of it along with sound in general was a bit eh for me. .
Personal opinion, it's good just needs to be a bit less high for the most part. . and fix dem vocals bro.
7/10

Re: [Album Preview] Mentalistic Tendencies
So, after 2 1/2 hours, and two failed remix/remasters, I proudly present to you the "final" mix of this song.
Addresses many of the issues raised in this thread and sounds pleasing to my ear... I'm so not working on another song for awhile. Lots of stress haha
n'joy n'stuff (and if positively received will be re-uploaded to soundcloud)
Edit: Anyone wanna recommend / link me to some good studio monitors? That's a purchase I've been considering for a while.Last edited by Coolboyrulez0; 05-30-2011, 04:08 PM.Comment
