Only thing I would comment on is that is sounds very 'clean' - if it were me, I'd be tempted to dirty some of the sounds up a bit.
But really good work nonetheless
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I think that is a fair comment, although i wanted fidelity i want tone as well and would prefer it a little more dusty- problem is how?
anything ive done to the whole mix to make it sound more 'vinyl-y' is too full on and ruins the balance of the mix- i guess what i need to do is work on an eq curve to make it sound more retro- in fact i think if i could make anything sound like an old record i'd be away (its the sound im always going for in my stuff)
thanks for listening-

i think it takes a while to get going, but it is ideal for a vocal or some solo instrument before the dub kicks in, it just takes a while to get into it
authentic sound tho, nice!
we made it a Juicy Prime Cut btw

and the PA thing- yeah i noticed a dn'b beat i was trying to tweak sounded great when i slammed it through a PA...gave me that 'club' sound (bizarrely
) i was always trying to get in my beats have yet to hear it through a real heavy system though so aren't sure if the subs are too big or not big enough
i have vocals in the process- this is like the 'version' er...version... the b-side hehehe....

a big problem of mine, taking stuff beyond the loop the level but also leaving the loop alone and being happy that its enough to carry a tune for a few bars...im always wrestling with this - especially one-shot sounds - some tunes you listen to are so sparse but everything works so it somehow holds your interest...

ive got more in the offing-
i am mr loop...ill get my drums, bass, chords and stuff down- do a quick mix to get my sound and then.... !?!?!?!?!?!? yeah i get stuck- shelve it and start on something else....
that tune was a perfect example- the foundation being written over a year ago on my mpc! dug it out one day and the rest wrote itself... its something i may return to but am trying not to- art never being finished just abandoned hehehe
so yeah but not really dub as im also a genre whore- a lot of my stuff at the mo is the acid jazz side of downtempo (ie slightly faster, swung beats - not nu jazz or triphop), i have my hiphop stuff i do for a group called SOG, a few drum n bass tunes in the offing, still trying to crack the house formula and now recently have done a bit of film soundtrack work... phew busy man!!
really appreciate you listening/commenting
