Here's a little demo I made to get some constructive criticism and advice. I've not been making tunes that long and this is really a demo and not a finished track. Let me know what you think.

could use more of a bassline. and everything's a bit reverby. try to build some patches that sound really good without reverb and then add a little reverb as a supplement. keep it up!

What do you mean by more of a bassline? I've got a sub bass line underneath the main bassline. Do you think I should turn it up a bit or make a fresh one or do you mean the other warping short of bassline needs a bit more to it? More variation ? Thanks for the comments.

Yeah nice one man. Is that a KRSONE vocal sample?

Have you heard asbo1 by Loefah? It's got some really crisp hi hats that sit right on top of the mix. I think this would sound better and have a better groove if it had something like that. It sounds sparse at the moment (which is a good thing) but in my opinion it could do with some of the higher frequencies filled out a bit.

Nice one though.

Cheers for the comments........... Yes Tom KRS1 indeed. I'm thinking of changing it. Waiting on this mixer then i can use some old vinyl samples. yea loefah sort of sound is what i was going for with this one so think i'l put some better highs in like you say. nice one!

I think the feel of the track is good, it bounces quite slow but has a nice space to it. It dosent really build enough intensity throughout the track things like changeing the patterning would help. i.e. one drum pattern have no hi hats then next one have closed hi hats then next one has open hi hats. Bit to much reverb and delay on drums. Sounds fit together well. Nice vocal as well...

Cheers mate. Good suggestions all round. High hats idea is well good idea, somethin i kinda already did but i think the high hats are just all wrong in this track and barely audible. Its just a case of practice I reckon, so you can get wats in ure head onto a track.
