Reviews for "Racstraw"

really chilled

love how the beat just keeps it a bit funky. i agree with the people below about the rain volume though. after a while i just wanted to hear your drums and melodies.

where do you get your ambient sounds????

i have to say i loved the track though.

anyways.. check out my pride and joy.

LET IT RAIN!!!

Got all my ambient stuff from a ACID Music loop sampler. Check out www.acidplanet.com and pick up some 8packs :D

Ambient techno?

Oops, got that wrong. Ambient ORCHAESTRAL techno.
Man, I hate sub-genres...

I like the beginning. Even though i think that the nice rain sounds you have going in the beginning start loud, they quiet down a lot through the track.
I think it might be good to let them fade out after a while? I think it may cause unnessecary noise in the song.

Then you can focus on adding more instruments and making it sound more pro-like! :)

I'm liking this nifty drum work i'm hearing, did you program that? Cause if you did, I might be forced to go on my drumset and learn it right now! Awesome riff! Adds a very funky feel to the overall song.

Good song, but the few points i have is, either let the rain fade out, turn down the rain volume, or just plain turn the rest of the song up (the drums and melody and whatnot).

Good work!
(I would ask you to check out my music, but you already reviewed me! 8D Thanks!)

Triskele responds:

Sadly, I did not program the drums. I prefer to use live drum tracks whenever possible, so I'm forced to look for loops. It's a living hell, cuz I usually know what I want almost exactly once I get the melody parts figured out. Fortunately, I found two loops that combined to form just what I was looking for. I really should learn set, though :P

I know the rain's loud, but I meant it to be almost an instrument in itself, not just an ambience. I really wanted to keep it in the foreground, and I like how it turned out.

Thanks!

Decent

Good use of ambiance, however you may want to turn down the overal volume down just by a little bit becuase of the distortion. I believe the distortion I heard is associated with the bass drum.

Triskele responds:

I blew out my speakers, so its hard to judge distortion very well lol. I did try to crank the volume pretty high on the drum loops though. I wanted to distort them a bit to add a little harshness to the piece.
