In to Deep is a more driving sound than the first, very happy the way its turned out, builds up, please have a listen. Been compressed to an mp3 at lower quality, but still sounds good. Let me know what you guys think.

Re: A new track - this is good

I listened to both and what do you use to master the tracks? On ther first one "In too Deep" the bass is not normalized, additionally I do like the spaceyness of it.

I don't know your proficiency with production elements but normalizing the levels of your tracks as well as assigning each instrument its own "frequency" is important. When a piece clips it means that either 1. it is too loud 2. and as a result it will not give the full sound but only what it can allow up till it gets clipped.

I just finished my own track, it is far from being mastered but you will find that none of the sounds "collide" but thank god reason now has a mastering suite in it otherwise i used to take it into audacity and normalize the sound and do a parametric EQ . Good work, keep it up, and if you have any questions ask.

Here is a sample of my track that I am finishing up, I will gladly send you a link later tonight once I get finished with it.

Re: A new track - this is good

thanks for the feedback, its good to get some advice as no-one else seems to bother. First track 'The Forgotten' has not been properly mastered and i do agree that the bass is not clear enough, i just havenet had time to fix it, i quickly put it together and put it on the website to make sure that the site was working properly. Second track 'In to deep' has been mastered and it has been heavily compressed for the site, bass is very clear on the .wav file. It has decreased from around 100mb to 6mb so sound will not be as clear as it could be. I use reason too for mastering and then i use t-tracks and waves diamond package. But once again thanks for some good advice and thanks for listeneing.
