Members protilius Posted March 2, 2009 Members Share Posted March 2, 2009 I'm almost ready to wrap production on an amazing Dance/Instrumental. Wouldn't mind a few ears on it prior to wrapping for good. I'm dealing with some minor issues in the mix concerning the chorus, but other than that it's energy filled milky danceable goodness. The track has a great bass and an awesome guitar that just drives everything into motion. The beat could use a little more but serves its purpose well enough that you don't even care. The chorus is really cool, but for some reason only chorus 2 has the impact I want in the engineering, can't figure out what the hell the problem is being the MIDI is all the same for every instrument regarding the first chorus. Weird... Must be timing or something. Maybe your skillful ear will be the pivotal suggestion that brings this track from Gold to Platinum. Protilius.com Bullet through the dance floor Check it out! Feel free to email me directly with your response. Just let me know who you are and where I made this post is all:) Regards:Nathaniel JonesArchive Lead ProducerProtilius@gmail.comprotilius.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bostonwal Posted March 3, 2009 Members Share Posted March 3, 2009 I'm not actually sure what the chorus is. I was hoping for some clearly defined euphoric section which would be the chorus. Also, you seem to drop out the beat when the primary guitar riff comes in. I think you should keep the beat going at that point. I think by dropping out the beat in those places you're not getting the emotional dynamics you intend, but rather are holding back the momentum just when you were getting going. Transtions between sections could also be smoother. I think overall the piece has a lot of nice sounds but feels a long way from being finished.

Basically agree - I'm not sure where the chorus is, so I can't tell you why the second one is less compelling than the first one, and the fact that these structural markers are not apparent to a sympathetic, reasonably educated listener could be part of the problem. It's a nice track - I do get the Oakenfold reference, although I certainly wouldn't call it shred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
