..::Tarekith::.. Amethyst - new breakbeat track

Tarekith · Post by **Tarekith** » Wed Jan 03, 2007 2:43 am

Here's my newest tune, a breakbeat, uptempo track done entirely in Live 6, no issues at all. Synths are all from the Ti, drums are all from the Machinedrum.

Yup, I always dig your sounds and this doesn't disappoint - nice one!

Good n' dark. I would sharpen the EQ on that snare (maybe layer something on it). I like my breaks snares to really friggin znap...

The suddenness of the re-introduction of the main beat after the breakdown was unexpected, and I like that.

The gritty 8 bit sounding chattering sound on the top end really drives this one.

Good job!

Just realized I had the output of my mastering limiter set incorrectly, and I took the opportunity to redo the mixdown a bit.

Here's the view of the song's arrangement page:

This is a BIG image, so you can see details as I used a lot of small audio clips in this one. File size is only 1.5MB, but you'll need to scroll left and right to see it all.

Hope this helps, feel free to ask questions!

I like this track. The Live Set is a work of art as well, I'll have to give the beat chopping a try some day...
Well, no particular feedback other than I like it, it will stay on my iTunes.

Like it, nice. Sounds a little similar to some of the Goa stuff I have from the 90s

Do you have a selection of your sample stuff in one place, wouldn't mind getting hold of some more of it

You mean the samples I use in my songs? Well, these weren't really sample originally. All the synth stuff was played live and recorded as audio in realtime, and the drums came straight from the Machinedrum.

However, I am getting ready to do my yearly sample purge from the hard drive, and as always I'll post them on my site for people to DL. So check the site once in awhile in the next few weeks.

Ah, I meant sample tracks

All good stuff though, would happily hoover anything up *lol*
