Myself and Aranha, been working on this one for a while and could do with some feedback before we do the final mixdown, any suggestions would be much appreciated

Liking it. Thoughts:

- mebbe cut down the intro or remove perc. from the first 4 bars; varying things up in the main body a bit more too, minor little change-ups, different notes, short breaks, unexpected FX, reversal... tingz like dat.
- Definitely needs more heft in the kick. Not sure if crunching it up w/ distortion or bitcrush alone would do it either. Possibly resampling & layering a grittier, mid/hi perc hit on top of it [subtly].
- More duttiness in general - the staticky and distorted bits in there already work great. Maybe distorting that acid-y arp-y analog-y chorused synth that first appears around :54 more and more progressively throughout the song?
- I think an abrupt ending might serve this tune a little better, but that's just me.

^ now that's called feedback

I won't say much, man, to my ears this sounds nice and quite original.

[particle-jim]

That's for the feedback, I will take all of that into consideration, particularly about the kick drums because I've have a couple people say the same thing

Cheers guys

kick could be a bit fatter yeah, nice sound design tho mate, like the snare. it kinda sounds like some deep medi stuff in a way. and yeah a few more incidentals/fx wouldnt go amiss.

[particle-jim]

Thanks man that's a massive compliment to say it has a deep medi kinda vibe I'll definitely have a look at the kick and getting more incidental fx business going

Thanks mate
