Ableton Forum

I'm more of a lurker in this community, but I like sharing tracks

Here's my latest: Groggy Dawn.

I use Ableton Live as central point for sequencing and recording. The sounds come from hardware synths (Prophet 08, Mopho, Evolver, Motif XS7, Airbase 99, M-One XL, Sherman Filterbank) and software (Absynth and Massive in this case).

Comments and record deals are welcome

The record deal remains elusive on this track but I will ask what genre would you clasify it as? There are a lot of rich textures in it and judging from you equip' list, I see why. Sounds a lot like a backdrop for a movie clip however some of the parts seem a bit detached and unbalanced. Perhaps another go at remixing so the track is more glued together. Particularly the bright synth part needs to be brought down a notch or two. Love the tune though so thanks for sharing.

I don't really do genres, I always find it very hard to pinpoint. I just try to make music that sounds nice

You're right on the mixing/balancing, the bright synth is sticking out and can be a bit painful to the ears. I've given an unmastered version to a friend with loads of analogue tube compressor stuff and maybe he'll brew something nicer out of it

Thanks for your comments.

Pretty good. I was hoping it to me faster, though. I don't really like the retroish sweep synths, but the power lead and the glockenspiel sounds rock! The drum track could use a bit more variation in sounds, and maybe a bit more "thump"? The flute in the end is also very nice. Generally I enjoyed it, but it seems a bit unpolished. Keep working on it, and it will get better.

yeah phat tune... were can i get copy....???
