Never really got much feedback on this track, would love to hear why people who are on this vibe think of it.

I think your percussion at the start is a tad too rigid, needs to flow a bit more. Was cool when the bass drum came in though, still needs to glue together a tad more I think. The 'drop' as it we're was cool with the sweeps, and that sample is really well used. I can't think of anything intelligent or thoughtful to say about the synthline, other than I'm afraid it annoys me haha, sorry about that. Vary it man, it gets repetitive. Hearing this whole mix when everything is playing, I think your snare gets a tad lost actually, bit weak sounding, and your hi hats are a tad sharp for me. Having said that, your sub is ace - like top notch. I really like it anyway, just needs a few more tweaks I'd say.

yesyes,

really enjoyed this one. little criticism:


the synth that starts from the beginning somehow just doesn't work with the bassline dropping at 0.57. maybe you should reconsider playing both at the same time!
i think the main point is that you should work with less! especially on that (great) rythm it doesn't need that much. why does the synth suddenly have a different melody at 1.55? better keep the syth minimalistic (and maybe a bit lower in the mixup)
i'd say you could even work with the sound coming in at 3:04 rather than the synth?

i don't think the snare needs more! maybe you could copy the channel of the snare and pararel compress it (lower the volume of the second channel by 10 db or so). but keep the riddim as it is. i like it dry like that!

then maybe you should reconsider the use of white noise on drops.... or efen reconsider doing drops at all... i think this tune could work with the techno-approach of things, meaning a subtle change here and there -> more progression over teh whole track rather than drops. if you keep the white noise (it would work anyway as an effect) then you should lower it's volume!
really liking that subtle rumbling sub in the back!

well done anyway!


of course just my humble opinion.

sounds fresh! liking the choice of drums kinda has an 808 vibe to it!

This is very, very good. I have nothing else to say.

Edit - You should send this into the Demo Panel Submissions.
