Person of interest
Isaac would be proud. I like the transitions in this piece, some nice sounds with complimenting textures. I also like the sound of the main arp with the distorted edge, it kind of blended with the bass at times though and I wanted to hear it resonate more when there was space. I usually like more depth and this seemed 2 dimensional in places but then you broke it down and the new sounds and melodies brought a new dimension. Nice work.

DP75,
I think you need to look around, listen around and comment around.
There are "conventions" that are followed in the MP3 Mixing Clinic - things like only posting one thing at a time, commenting on the work of others before expecting commentary on yours, giving some details of what you've done, what it's intended to be and what you need in terms of assistance.
It's a simple case of do unto others my friend.
Many in this forum, myself included, are tired of drive by click collectors and succubi.
Participation is the key.

On another forum I was asked what inspired me and who influenced me on composing Robot.
It all started when I bought a second hand Access Virus A (for 200 euro): that's the main synth line, which drives through the beginning and the ending of the song. Basically, all the track is built around that synth line.
I wanted to achieve a hard techno dark sounding athmosphere, teutonic, as it is the Access Virus.
Lately I've beed listening to Trentemoller quite a bit; during the mastering of Robot I used his latest album as a reference. I usually find inspiration starting with the sound itself. I love and own many different synthesizers, a few old analogue classics too.
Take a look at the youtube videos in which I show some of the gear features, here:
Moog The Rogue - YouTube
Roland Juno-106 - YouTube
Korg MS-20 02 - YouTube
Korg MS-20 01 - YouTube
Nord Lead 3 - YouTube
Roland SH-101 - YouTube
Cheers,

As an Asimov fan I thought I'd remind you that your paraphrasing of the 3 laws renders them unworkable as a robot can not respond to humanity only the humans it encounters and interacts with. Your rewrite would cause an internal conflict that would fry a positronic brain - think, a robot is told to use an electrical appliance on a grid fueled by a brown coal burning power station. It can't, as all humanity would be placed at risk by such cavalier pollution unless not doing so would place the human at risk. It wouldn't take Daneel to work that out!
I'm surprise Asimov wrote the 0th law as it does render the other three useless.
"A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law."
He did weasle around it by having Daneel say:
"In theory, the Zeroth Law was the answer to our problems. In practice, we could never decide. A human being is a concrete object. Injury to a person can be estimated and judged. Humanity is an abstraction."
Hence, Asimov renders the 0th law ato the level of a plot complication and not the axiom that the original three have, once extrapolated, become.

Sounds like my rave daze in the mid '90s. 
Production is spot on. I wouldn't change anything other than, as I just posted in another thread, maybe trying to be more experimental as this sounds like most techno being made.
