shameless self bump. after 20 days and 160 views patiently awaiting some feedback.
Pretty grinding. The way I like it. Would have been nice if phantom had been cut in a bit more at the end, instead of just faded. Or maybe you could have beat sliced that 2nd to last songs lyric over the top.
I do love a bit of beat sliced lyric action.
Hey man thanks for the feedback.
Had a listen to your Beat My Ghosts Up. really cool. When u say cut up do u mean what u did with heartbreaker over hey boy, hey girl at around the 6:40 mark? Sounds coolQuote:

I don't know if you have any experience with this effect. But it's amazing at slicing up and reordering short loops on the fly.Quote:

Then at 17.42 I engaged the beatslicer when the main tracks bassline kicked in. It cut up the lyric and sort of makes it into its own little groove a bit like a glitchy drum beat if you get what i mean.
The only problem with the beatslicer is you REALLY have to make sure you make sure before hand that the settings you have will sound good with the song you're doing it on. Alot fo the time it sounds god awful and will ruin the mix. This effect is definately one to pre prepare. You can use the little camera button on the FX unit to save a good set of values for the effect. That's what i've done. This allows you to quickly change back to your preset settings if you change to something that sounds shitty.
Anyway in terms of your mix you could try these sorts of effects on your lyrics, or on blipping house tracks, and on really thick basslines it sometimes works too. It's great cos it's something no one will have ever heard before!
Hope this helps!
Nice job with the Cornelius mix-in. Simple but effective as hell.
