Original Message 1/17 20-Aug-01 @ 05:29 PM - help me out with feedback?
I would greatly appreciate some feedback on this big beat track before it is complete. It is about 65% done and I want to get some feedback so I know what aspects to change and not to change. I want it to be as powerful and hard as possible. It's about 3.5 MB and you can download it off my ftp://plazmahaus.com/pub/ folder. It wont stream from there so you'd have to download. Thanks.

look, Kilo went through a LOT of trouble so we could use THIS site to post tracks for feedback. 99% of us do so, HERE. the others get ignored by most.
encode it at a low bandwidth and put it here, man. sound good?

isnt it sorta arrogant to say "my track is too good to put in lofi"? I mean REALLY
ALL of em sound rather poor lofi, so its an even playing field. we all lose our stereo effects, all that shit
I thought the point was to get people to hear it. guess not.

I think lofi is great for getting an idea of the arrangement and feel as well as getting heard by many. When it comes to critical techniques of mastering, I'd say a 128kbps is minimal. I'm not looking for a big audience. Just one ambitious person to download the file and say whatever.
Please if your going to respond to this thread, make some nice comments about studio technique.
Here's a start: This track has been arranged in Acid 2.0. It was compressed using Waves C4 multiband. I rolled the sub end off to eliminate unnecessary bass frequencies. The final stage was the Waves Ultramaximizer. I think that I will have to make it about 5 dB higher in average volume on the final master. There's perhaps too much high sheen right now so it needs some warmth.
The arrangement will be different also. I accidentally put the chorus before the first verse so it jumps a little too far to fast. There will be some singing in the middle of the track which will provide the core with something more substantial. The stereo field needs some widening maybe.

fuckin panama
anyway...to be honest...with all that you just mentioned, it sounds like you pretty much got a handle on the engineering aspect? I bet you could tell yourself if the mix is good enough.
have you no one around you to listen in person? I know that happens in some areas. Im lucky enough to have some trained ears to run stuff by (altho I suspect that they arent always totally honest which irks me to no end)
anyway...if you did want to put it up here, just encode it at 22hz mono, 28k bandwidth and throw it up. its pretty easy (or, it has been for me)
I didnt say you said your stuff was too good, but plenty of people have and I find it amusing.

I would suggest getting a second pair of
monitors. After my grass grows, and I sell a
bag... I'm gonna get me a second pair of
monitors. Right now I got one pair... some
beamy ass TOA'S WITH A HEAVY MID RANGE.
THESE FUCKERS WILL DISCRETELY MAKE
THE MID RANGE SOUND PERFECT. BUT ITS
TOO DAMN BEAMY. I NEED A PAIR THAT
SHOWS THE TOP END PERFECTLY...
OR, YOU COULD PROLLY PUT DOWN THE
TUNE FOR A MONTH, AND COME BACK AND
LISTEN. THIS IS GOOD...
fuck, am i too lazy to throw off the caps?

Thanks for kicking me in the ass to get it squashed down to 500k guys. That's one way to eliminate questions about the high end!
Anyways, the vocalist is laying down the core of the track for "Time to Burn" in a few days so I was hoping to get some ideas. Sort of like an advance screening for a film you know?

Seriously, don't use any odd characters in the title when you upload the track and if it doesn't take, use Underscores (shift+Dash keys) instead of spaces between words in the title.

And then you blow it by neglecting the fact that realistically, if you want critique on those kind of aspects, unless we get to listen to the original un-encoded version of your track... we won't really get to hear it "as intended" anyway...
128K MP3 still ain't gonna cut it, or give a true representation of ALL the things goin' on in yer mix... I mean you talk about rollin' off the bass end etc.etc. well MP3 it and away a chunk of the detail goes.. so what kind of feed back ARE you expecting from the audio you have on offer (lo-fi OR hi-fi) ??????
(Sorry, just bored here at work and fancied posting something long and anal at DT... I'll go bother influx next!)
I'll get me coat.. okay, I'll go download it..

I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!
