juventae Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Top moody track. Like how stripped back the start is, and how it builds. Nice synth work, pads are lovely, great sense of longing which is my fave emotion in music.Think the 303-ish bendy line could do with some variation, perhaps some mad AFX-like fills every now and then. Speaking of AFX, maybe the retriggered percs and detuned melodies are a bit too similar to his stuff? Just a thought. Really nice layering of melodies without it becoming over-bearing! This is hard to achieve - speaking from personal experience with my own stuff. Perhaps the snare you can hear at 3:10 is panned too hard right? Overpowers and unbalances things a bit IMO.

thawkins Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I also like the minimal intro, and how the song evolves nicely and the elements don't get into each other's way. I enjoyed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LemonMelon Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Really nice Analord 303, the gentle part is unusually smooth and builds well after the intro. The synth bends are cool and tussy, love the 'demo-effect' levelling, has a great casual/cheetah feel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But also be as derivative as you want, that's where good things often happen IMO Know what you mean about it being released and being used to it - get em out and move on! heh someone saying something is too similar to AFX :) how often u listen to YLC posts :) this is good man! I've listened to quite a few now - there's lots of variety and people are helpful & encouraging here which is what I like. It's not just a straight aphex clones board because, well, what would be the point in that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
