Again been busy with Downtempo.
Not sure if it's good enough for next weeks Diesel U-Music contest.
I always want to put in more and more, I've got the feeling this one is a
litlle boring,
anyone................?

I think boring is very subjective. Something can be repetitive and meditati=
ve 
without being "boring". IMO a repetitive track can be effective if all the =

elements are "in the pocket". With that said, I think the flaw in your trac=
k is the 
bass-line — it strikes me as a little stiff. With a down-tempo track it see=
ms 
you'd want a sexy, laid-back slide to the bass-line. In particular, the thi=
rd note 
sounds a bit off — I'm not great with pitch (being a drummer), but to my ea=
r the 
third note doesn't "sing", it's a little "flubby" — are there two pitches t=
here? You 
might also move the note a little behind the beat. The 4th, 5th and 6th not=
es; 
also too stiff, might try swinging the quantize there — or better yet, pitc=
h bend 
the 5th note into the 6th. A friend once said (wisely), "if you establish a=
 strong 
bass (base?) you can build mountains..."

I wouldn't use the preset sample coming from the SX of
the lady saying to record your msg press 2. The beat
sounds cool.

Thanks for the reply's.
I will change the bassline and at a twist somewhere in the middle.

Ronald.

I didn't mean you need to "change" the bass-line, just "massage" it a bit. =


OT: I apologize for not asking your permission, but a spun one of your demo=
s 
at a party a few months ago; "003 MM & MD + evolver" ... great title BTW ;-=
)

Anyway, went over very well, folks were obviously digging it. Cheers —
