Hehehe
Btw i've also heard that eskimo layers several tau's sometimes without eq! Don't know how true that is but anyway the dude makes some awesome basslines sometimes! I still prefer his first album over his newer stuff though..If we get lucky he might pop in like Domestic and give us a few pointers!
Haven't heard this track though..

There is no negative or positive. When you see something as positive or negative you really fail to see the essence and you're looking at your system of believe. It's just endless dialectics.

A virtue of society (and this forum is a form of virtual society) is measured by it's weakest individuals. Once you apply any kind of pressure to it that points brake and we stop being society and return to individual mode. So setting a standards and maintaining objective criticism is the only way to raise the virtue and value of society.
What we tolerate today is what we'll become tomorrow.

Because evolution of society, individual, humanity and music is all about doing it each time better than before. By accepting good enough or almost good as pro (whatever "pro" should mean anyway) we fail to do even as good as before. And I think that we've been down that road more than enough.
Not so long ago I was amazed by the quality of information shared on this forum. Now I'm amazed by the quantity of tolerance towards the ignorance and by ridiculing or judging any act in the opposite direction.
So feel free to exercise your right to tolerate and try to tolerate others rights too. Even when it's a right to criticize the same thing you're willing to tolerate.

Yes but I'm sending links only when asked and only by PM or mail. So I can send you link if you want, but until I do it better than before - no public links from me  There's enough lousy music around.

So asking questions rather than using Google qualifies you as a beginner? I don't think so. You're acting on faith, and faith is nothing more than effort for not seeing the facts.
Not knowing is not a sin... but the lack of intentionality and dedication is something quite different.

shamantrixx , you are being a bore again.
The number of times you mention uniqueness or originality makes me supsect that you are not achieveing a unique sound and it is pissing you off to no end. Maybe you don't even realise it yourself... or maybe you do.
Repeating the "be unique" mantra is allready a cheap parroting of others. You are not being unique OR original by saying this.
You say yourself while talking about your own music "There's enough lousy music around." which basicly means that you are in no position to tell others what to do.
So don't.
Anyway, it is good to learn the basics and copy the masters first and then, when one understands how to achieve certain results, twist the rules to achieve your own unique blend.
Do you think Mozart or Bethoven started off by composing entire symphonies? Or did they start by learning to play the piano/harpischord and basic music theory?

Hey Galactic Monkey,
All comments based on listening through the MySpace compression.
The first thing I noticed is that your bassline is quite dull sounding. (Lack of high frequencies). I would try opening the filter a touch more. I think this will balance the bass better with the kick-drum. You might even want to make the level of the bass a touch higher but that depends on how it sounds with a bit more high freq.
Also try lowering the velocity of the first bass note between the kicks. I think that will make it a bit more bouncy. Unless you are not going for a bouncy feel.
Also try a few note variations at the end of 8 or 16 bars. Just to give a bit of an accent at the end of each "phrase". It is very continuous as is. You could also try adding another instrument that adds a rythmic accent every so often (see my demo below).
You snare sounds weak and lacks presence (high-mid and high frequencies). That could be the MySpace compression but I doubt it. It is also quite soft in volume. I like my snares to smack.
For the rest, keep it up!
Here is something a small section of something I started today (Melodies muted for demonstration purpouses):

agree with undertow.....respect to you man!
also try to boost decay envelope.....just little touch
try to put some multiband distortion on the bass
put another clap layer on your snare
in the end......its all about experiments
undertow:
good stuff man... especially amazing drums perc work...but there is some noises
maybe some freqs battles or bad mixdown export?
galactic monkey:
i no need labels....because i making music for fun!
cheers!

Oh sure. It isn't properly mixed yet. I just wanted to demonstrate that bassy kind of sound that overlays the bass every 8 bars (I think).
Or did you mean that 16th note noise burst with the reso filter on it?

Let's see... I've mentioned it exactly ZERO times. So as usual you're not even reading what others write and you're just blowing hot air

So only the architect of the BMW is in the position to comment a quality of a vehicle and the driving techniques? Or you're just full of shit as usual?

Oh now I see. You are completely retarded! You've mistaken Google for Bethoven and you think with your ass instead with your head. Otherwise you would notice that my posts had nothing to do with uniqueness, originality and composing symphonies. Get your self a brain!
Anyway... don't you have some primitive culture to conquer?
