Bajan Blue Posted Saturday at 06:23 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:23 PM Hi Ross Really like this - some of the elements really rock. Cuts off a bit abruptly, apart from that love it Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treesha Posted Saturday at 10:15 PM Share Posted Saturday at 10:15 PM I like the percussive elements and their timing. Then the explosion, nice. Really good expressive stuff going on. Has some angst in there. The mix sounds good. Interesting and good work ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted Sunday at 09:02 AM Share Posted Sunday at 09:02 AM Very Cool production Ross ! I got a little "Talking Heads" vibe during the intro . I liked the abrupt ending , but I think it could have a little more impact. Sounded like part of it was cut off , missing some lows or maybe the reverb/delay wasn't allowed to ring out. Enjoyed it , nice groove .. mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry T. Posted yesterday at 06:41 AM Share Posted yesterday at 06:41 AM Great production/mix. Intro works. Nice riffing with tasteful enhancements. It's heavy but melodic. I thought the ending sounded more than acceptable, it's an interestingly mixed outro 🎶 🎵 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Smithe Posted 5 hours ago Author Share Posted 5 hours ago (edited) @Bajan Blue and @mark skinner, thanks for listening and for the helpful feedback! Regarding the ending, my intention was for it to cut to abruptly lo-fi (like it did earlier leading into the heavy section) and then hit the dead stop at the end. I like the idea, but obviously I missed something in translation that you both noticed that. I went back and compared, and the earlier lo-fi lead in definitely had much more distinct contrast, and the ending it didn't. It kind of sounded the same, but the bottom just fell out! I reworked that spot to give more extreme contrast, plus some more flange effect. Uploaded recording now reflects the change. Thanks for the good catch!

The dead stop outro was by design, but listening a bit closer after Nigel and Mark brought it up, I think I didn't make the cut to lo-fi right before the end extreme enough. I went back and tweaked that, and added some more flange effect, I think it's better now! Uploaded recording now reflects the change.
