I really like that! Very good. One thing though: That ringmodulated (?) synth-note that sustains during the breakdowns get pretty harsh...
The general structure of this track is pretty close to perfection, imo.

thanxs machinate
yes, the feedback is maybe a little bit to loud. it was live created. send1->send2->send1.
any other clubbers in here

Yeah nice track mate ! I tend to agree with Machinate's remark, and I'm listening to it on a powerbook's speakers

at work.... But it sounds very good even here ! So that's good news no ?
I love the style, good tripin' clubbin' feel ! Keep on the good work.
Kind regards,
amo

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!!! nice track!
and i have to agree with the rest, that loud sound that comes every now and then can get tedious on the ears.
convinced enough to render a new version?
if you do, post it again!

Really, really good. Not usually my kind of music, but I've probably never really listened to that style properly. I cranked it on my new PA. Even as an MP3 it sounded good. The bass is awesome... what is it?
When you say 'all done in Live 5', does that mean all sounds are Operator?
Great job!

I'm digging it as well. very groovin.
the harsh sound everyones talking about is only harsh cause it's too loud but I actually really dig the sound. you were doing real "feedback" right? through the sends? good stuff though hard to control sometimes.
It was as if someone shook up a 6 foot can of blood soda and suddenly popped the top.

I likes! Kind of reminds me of some old Laurent Garnier - Crispy Bacon or something. Probably better then that in my opinion though because I am a feedback junkie.

Ableton’s engineers are hard
at work developing code that will allow our software to predict the future, but we don’t
anticipate having this available until at least the next major release.

Vandeloow,
Could you please expand on how you are doing the feedback loop? I am fiddling around in Live but not getting any real results.
Thank You!

moody... real feedback can be created in the sends by having the send channel sending back into itself. try putting some delay filtering on a send and send it back into itself. then you have to give a sound to start the feedback. it's very hard to control but you can get very very interesting results. you just have to work with the fx to keep it from getting too massive... usually doing this with an effects that keep modifying the sound continuously (as in a lfo on the filter) which keeps the feedback from completely taking over. and you definetly need to have a limiter on the channel. if the sound gets too piercing you can try using eq on it or even chorus can make the feedback more "silky"

Thanks!
I will fiddle more. I got it to do some earlier but lost control due to the ping pong delay.
But, that is the fun of it..... reminds me of some old fun from many years ago with old effect boxes and the busses on my mixer.

Yep really nice track. Nice groove through it. apart from 'the sound' allready mentioned I think I would like some synth line apearing ocasionally. a small riff or memorable 'tune'. nothing too much just a little riff to hang on to. Maybe that would change the feel but I think it might work if done subtly!
Anyway its good well done
