Finishing up an old tune of mine.
« on: July 14, 2016, 03:26:24 am »
I "finished" this a long time ago, but it never got released.  I decided to remake better it because I liked the idea so much.

As usual, I recorded a bunch of sax on this one.

Absolutely love the percussion work at the beginning, and the kicks are phenomenal, and pair amazingly with the amount of sidechain you put on the other elements.
Nice logo too by the way.

I really like the Middle Eastern feel to this track, it works well with the trap vibe. You have a lot of unique sounds and synths as well which give the track a very fresh feel.
I especially like the pluck you added at 1:15 - it brings a TON of depth to the mix and gives the main parts some variation.

LOVE the chord changes at 1:36! Very beautiful. 1:51 does the same, and also sounds superb.

Nice sax, I was waiting for it to come in. It's mixed really well, along with the rest of the track. I would like to hear some more reverb on it I think, but it still sits really nicely in the mix and sounds great.

Very very nice track man. It honestly isn't what I usually listen to, but I love how unique it is, and it's incredibly well produced.

Excellent work. :)

definitely sounds unique and cool. my favourite part is at 1:30-1:56.
Especially at 1:36 the change sounds so nice

i like this track and the ideas and the sax playing. however feedback i would give is it lacks spatial depth so maybe add a little bit more reverb to some of the instruments and see if that makes a difference. just my two cents bro. i love your jazzy vibe its the bomb

Woah!
Made my bob my head.

The middle-eastern scale gives it good uniqueness.
Great work with the rhythm.
Really, can't find anything that I dislike about this.

The style is not my cup of tea, but I can see the qualities in the track. To me some of the instruments stand out too much and could be lowered in volume to make the whole production more easy for the ears. Some of the melodies are nice with the middle eastern influences, but the are not strong enough to have them playing most of the track. I would recommend adding more pads/strings to the track to give it a bit more atmosphere.

The middle eastern influence in this song sounds great but I agree that some different instruments could be used to expand it cause I felt it was a little repetitive but other than that it was really good!

The chord progression is to die for. Seriously nice chords. You're obviously someone who knows their theory!

Hey EMWYE,

First off, solid production! Absolutely love the chord progressions and the fine attention to detail on the filtering through out the different layers of chords that I hear. The percussion and drums throughout the song also sit very nice within the mix which are making love to that sidechain! Really dig the chord progression changes through out the song which gives it a really nice feeling of flowing through the song instead of listening to the same eight bar progression. Definitely can't hold myself back from asking if you've ever taken any theory? The suspensions are perfectly executed!

Honestly man I  actually would gladly love to do some remix work on this if applicable!

Good luck on your productions and thank you for sharing a sick tune man! You also definitely deserved the follow man! - Chris Blake
