    Hi there
    This is a sort of funny track, house music I think, to be developed some day when my skills would improve.
    Dunno!

    If you want to drop any opinion I´d greatly appreciate it :)

    Im not sure what type of genre this is, its definitely not house though. Regardless, it sounds like something that was put together real quick and that makes it sound dull. Im sure it could be a great track if you put more time into it and get more creative with the dynamics of the song. Thats just my two cents, hopefully you don't take offense mate. Continue with your passion and have fun :mates:

    What to say! Thanks for commenting.

    Mamma Mia, I feel like an orphan, without style, without core music, not that much ear discrimination for sounds and no trade. :(

    I´ll call it orphan music...whatever mushy mix it might involve

    At least the stuff I use I get it for free… Which is GOOD NEWS!

    Sound it´s a tough business, specially for the self-taught.

    I´ll rework it (my neighbours will love it)

    It sounds great Rolma!!! Actually sounds very interesting to me, I dunno what ghostinthemachine was talking about... I didn't find it dull whatsoever. I think for a first draft it sounds promising. I like the oddness of it, something tells me that if Salvador Dali was alive and making electronic music, this would be it!! Keep going with your great ideas and uniqueness Rolma!! :wink:

    - I thought the intro was really cool
    - I like how your sounds 'play off of each other" ... good use of call and response.
    - I think some dynamics would spice it up a little more (their are some but it's like two dimensional for me ...loud / soft ... no builds or dynamic MOVEMENT ..just loud/soft ..beat/no beat ... I guess what i am trying to say is that maybe trying to transition a little longer from one extreme to the other might make the track a little more 3 dimensional ...this could also be because just about every sound or sample is LOUD AND PROUD (abrasive, in your face..etc.) ...maybe experiemtn with one or two "softer" sounds? To add some depth.

    - Samples do get cluttered at times (just in a few spots it felt like sample overload

    - Solid mix (nice!)

    - It is a "funny" track .. the intro made me think of two robots having coffee in the morning going over the days protocols

    Thanks for posting!

    @ London007 :

    Thank you for encouraging my experimentz, very nice :)


    @ Burg

    Thanks so much for taking the time and being so constructive.

    Sure I´ll take all of it into account while reworking it .
    I find the suggestions on dynamics and sampler overload completely reveling.
    I have noticed when I was mixing that some sounds where just on the face because the harsh attack
    also because I tend to work big chunks of sounds and I´m not good at the groove or a more subtle placement.
    I have few ideas using bandpassed stuff filling some range...to see what the weekend would bring ;)


    Again, thanks to all for listening and posting comments

    Hi milosevich thanks for listening and posting : )
    I´m preparing the total rebuilt of it :rofl:
    After the criticism (highly inspiring-constructive)
    I ´ve found inspiration so I´m really changing the spirit of it deeply !
    No house music or anything like that...
    In fact I keep the base but the rest will be totally new

    Thanks to all including Audio-Sex (great forum )for feedback
