I´d like to know what you think about this song. I think the atmosphere is quite ok. But if you have any ideas what could be improved tell me. BEATMAX - One Unity

hmmm, I don't know... Somehow I get a sence that the instruments don't sit in the same room quite, think some of the levels are off. It sounds empty/cold also. Thinking a title which talks about unity should give a warmer feeling. I'd add a low basspad to correct some of that... The drums sound very static now, some variation in volume or fills could be good. I'm not so sure about the robotic vocalsample either, think the rest of the song calls for a more natural vocal piece. In general I like the idea though, although it all sounds a bit familiar somehow. Hope that helped

Well definately not my best track so far. But critics are good. I`ll never get better if I dont accept critics. Thanks for the hints. I`ll see what I can do

Listening to it right now! Sounds some some excellent blend between Kraftwerk and Jean Michel Jarre. I like it! But as Sunbuster said, you need to put a bit more warmth into it, add some extra push in the lower register. Though I think it fits with the static drums for this kind of song, and also don't remove the robotic voice. Sounds nice! Also, as Sunbuster said, you need to look through the mixing levels. I think they're not really optimized. Try listening to all kind of systems, it helps for me at least ... Well, who am I to tell you anyway? .. It's a bit short too, but this is maybe just a preview?

haha.. actually i like this song. it sounds like an 80's sci-fi movie theme! but.. i must say, some of the instruments let you down. the steel-drum like thing near the end especially.. great atmosphere though, and it would be awesome after replacing a couple instruents and playing around with adding a little more depth to the overall track. very cool, classic sounding indeed! mikx
