My apologies, I sent you the wrong version. Here's the most recent, corrected one. I lost the reverb on the claps and doubled the clap tracks and made them a bit "darker." https://soundcloud.com/john-dale-music/ ... 07dbe05f10Telefunkin wrote: ↑Fri Oct 22, 2021 9:59 amHi John,
IMHO this version is no closer to the sound of the refs, which makes me want to repeat all of the suggestions in my earlier reply. In particular, I'd repeat the suggestion of dropping a copy of The Drum into your DAW (or any of the other refs) so you can directly compare the sounds, and perhaps find a way to update your elements until they're closer. It would be impossible to make everything the same as the refs but unless you capture something similar in terms of weight, impact, attitude and modernity, I can't help thinking that your track will be returned and will also attract the dreaded 'dated' comment.
You have a good framework, so I hope you manage to beef up the components and production somehow if you're going to submit. Good luck with it.
I like the new version. I was going to say more stomp needed but listened to "superhuman" and didn't find that to be what I traditionally envision as "Stomp Clap".johndalenow wrote: ↑Fri Oct 22, 2021 3:31 pmMy apologies, I sent you the wrong version.

I like this even better. What's your "take?"swdaze wrote: ↑Sat Oct 23, 2021 8:43 pmI like the new version.

I'm also outa genre so grain of salt with the comments.
Good luck!

Thank you, brother. I greatly appreciate your comments.
Thank you, Michael. I appreciate you taking the time to constructively comment.irthlingz wrote: ↑Mon Oct 25, 2021 1:39 pmFirst of all, let me say that I really like this, especially the little touches like the car peeling out and the whispered "Yeah, yeah."
Second, I am completely out of my depth here, so feel free to ignore.
And finally, based both on the description in the brief and on the overall impression of the three refs, I think more distorted bass, bigger stomps and claps, and in general more of a sledge-hammer approach would be more likely to get a forward.
Good luck with it in any case!
