A Drop in the Maharashtra's Bucket (draft) - sAro

@dvorkru: still one of my favourites... an amazing track. looking back into this i think i commented too much, many ideas i threw in were completely right (and i still agree with them) but i'm still feeling the tune a lot. therefore i think i was a bit nickpicky, you asked for reviews and suggestions but what this track deserves is praise.

good choice of instruments!

you have me intrigued from the first sec! nice buildup

@djsAro: i agree i dig it.

Quite an emotional track. I like it very much and I think you have improved quite a bit as a producer! Keep up the good work!

@zgomot: Im diggin it too!!

the sitar works nicely. it catches the overall mood of the track. good work.

mmm.. another idea... have you tried doing this track, but a bit slower?? like say at dub tempo (70) or even slower. it'd leave more room for the rolly drums to work out and perhaps it would give a more spacey chilled feeling... just an idea.

well, perhaps i commented too much, ccriticizing things and all of that, but all i have to say is that i really liked this. moody, dark, that sitar was ace, the percussion was really cool... the things i have said were ideas that came to mind as i was listening to the track....

well, everything i gotta say bout the bass hass been said before by the other guys.

oh so that was the distorted drums!!! some fucked up bongos!!!

perhaps the percussion on the top has a little too much volume on some parts.

having that said, i really like the way you used the kick, it is there, you can tell, but it doesnt have that presence in the mix... have you tried a different version with more kick?? well, perhaps it would change the mood of the track completely.

the drums perhaps need to be less separated... i mean, i can hear two main clearly different parts: some 'distorted' rolly drums and the 'burial-esque' percussion on the top. perhaps some exchange in between the two would be good-separating the distorted part in pieces or perhaps distorting some hits of the hi end percussion... i dont know how to express it..

wow. loving that burial-esque percussion.

perhaps add a lil bit of movement to that drum roll

epic drop. loving the echoey synths at the back.... really nice.

there you go. i felt like it needed something like that "horn" that came into

perhaps separating the melodic part of this part (in this case it is the bass) between a more solid bass and some mid pads would be nice. not talking about mid-range-pendu-synths ya know.

very promising

just to repeat what others have said here, the drums are winner

great mood to the track

here is where i am talking about, and i realize that is a synth not your bass, i want a deeper sub for your bass (or just more presence) and i want that synth pulled up some. not to steal focus from the perc or the koto, but to bring more presence to the whole track.

@djsAro: i don't know t-bird, but i can say that the only way that it is at all unfocused to me is that it could use the bass being pulled up a little. would give it a little more backbone which would make it feel less airy and unfocused. when the koto or zither sound is the driving sound and it is meandering in its rhythm it feels unfocused... that should be the lead part but not the driving part. not when you have such great drums and perc and not when you have that sick bassline esp with the filters in the second break(ish area)... does that make sense?

lovin the tabla hits.

really like this track

I love this track. The drums are stupidly good.
