West End Blend: 'Kane Guru' (critiques plz)

[LukasL]

I have to know how you did the decay on the keyboard at the pause. Very cool.

Sent the keyboard to a HUGE(like 10 - 15 seconds of decay) plate verb, added a tremolo effect and automated the speed. That channel was faded in during the build-up and cut off when the drums re-enter.

Not a huge fan of the bright fast slap on the vocals. It kind of interferes with the harmonies.

I agree. Its too loud and distracting.

Drums sound very cool, like they are sample replacements. As a matter of fact I wonder about the drums. They are so steady they lack a human feel which I think is detrimental to the arrangement.

They are no samples whatsoever. By "steady" to you mean lack of dynamics? If yes, I would agree but the compression got me the sound I wanted so I ran with that. Not sure I would change that.

I feel the arrangment of the whole song could be improved but thats besides the point...

Anyway, this is nicely done.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Lukas
