Welp, you can scratch Synyster Gates and Sikki Styx off of the whodunnit list. :mrgreen:

He's somewhat stylish and definitely a bit bitchy looking, but....NO. Nice gear though. He looks like Mick Jones from Foreigner, glancing over at a bottle of Ensure. :|

95% there, I think. Would love to hear from all you experts on how to make it even better! :)

I'm not a big tech/trance enthusiast, but I really dig it. Had my head bobbing whilst I was sitting here paying some bills. Even my fawn pug was seemingly dancing around to it. That bass synth sounds like it's got some auto-vowel action happening which is slick. I really like the chimey bells that kicked in around 2:32. For a minimal piece, I'd say leave it alone....it doesn't need anything else. Afterall, it is minimal. Nice effort. :)

Thanks so much!!!

Yeah, I'm not adding any more sounds or instruments, just thinking about adjusting a few things in the stereo field. Thanks for listening! Who wouldn't enjoy a dancing pug? LOL

So this is what I really like about Blend vs SoundCloud...

I can post a track that is most of the way there, get feedback, sleep on it, make changes, undo those changes when I think better of it, and generally just continue to polish the track. As many times as I want. Without losing my Likes or my commments.

I'll still post to SoundCloud once I think it's 100% complete, but for now I'm really digging Blend. 8)

And 100 Likes gets you published on their label. How cool is that?

Another good thing about Blend is that you get far less people coming along and saying, "Nice sounds. Now come and like my track [URL]".

I like this one. Listening to it on PC speakers, and that kick is making my floor move. I don't think it needs any more polish, but you could try compressing it some more. It's one of the flattest waveforms I've seen but I bet you can squeeze some more blood out of it ;)

Dynamic range? We don't need no stinking dynamic raaange! :lol:

Actually, it seems to be one of the properties of Blend's limiter algorithm. A track that looks like a city skyline on SoundCloud, looks like a fat skidmark in Blend.

Glad you like it! And good to know it's shaking the floor!! 8)

Yeah, I should have realised. I got the same with one of my tracks on Blend. Had to mess around with it a lot to get any shape back into it.

This one won't shake the floor. But pour yourself a single malt :)

Just a little scrap of audio; playing with textures. As one does.
