word. alright guys, I finally have something to show for my newest analog gear! new track up called: Chime along the 'B'. A neat breakbeat tune. Can I say break beat? does it break? blah, I sound like a 50'sish joke. anyway, Some of the vocal tones are off just by a hair, but I have no reference for keeping it on tune (and the ppl around me aren't any help)...

So, I hope you dig, and take a listen. peaceout y'all

"now gimme a beat"? dunno bout that one. just a little bit cheezy for me...

one thing that hits me about the song is the way the bass follows the kick/snare pattern almost exactly...makes it way too choppy feeling...

maybe for the shuffly part of the snares use a different sound, or even go a little straighter boombap with the drums and have some more fillersounds to get that "funk" youre lookin for.

sounds a bit "icey" to me but you DO live in florida, right? guess you cant help it

You scored big with that vocal sample!

Yulp I hafta cast one vote for cutting up/varying the drums a bit more, fer sure axe the friggin' snare rolls. But I don't mind the way the bass&drums flow, I could def. dance to this.

Hey don't mean to be too harsh about the snare rolls, it just a personal thing I have. When I was 12 I was flammed up pretty bad by some snare rolls, and once I was mugged by some roto-toms ;-)

yea, I prolly could do more drum work, since
it's not my usually 4/4 - Like maybe cut the
beats up here and there... But when I was
making this tune, I wanted to do more with my
synths than rather the drums... so more time
was spent with live synth programming... So I
guess I'll take your comments with great
strength, cuse no one here locally noticed that!

Whenever I get the vibe again to make
Breakbeats (or whatever genre it is) , I'll spend
more time with the drums - since I know the
crowd is listening there.

axe the snare rolls, eh? I don't have a answer
for that one brad...

anyway, more to come guys and gals...

Just one man's opinion. Guess that other option would be to make big skull-cracking Fatboy Slim type fills. For what they are, you made them well.

Personally I prefer a different kind of pattern in the place where some people put snare rolls, something that's more syncopated or has other drums. That's what I meant about them. Just a preference & a suggestion to try if it sounds interesting to you.

one nice thing is whenever there's a percussion fill, put in an incidental synth melody/phrase instead.. much more colourful than stupid percussion.

all i meant by 'you've got it' pan was 'groove.' the part where you make somethnig nice.

tru Brad.

I guess I'll mess more with the drums and so
forth... Since I don't personalize my drums, I'll
try anything to make it sound smoother and
better.

thnx guys and gals!
