Drums are sweet, think the bass gets a little repetitive though.
Just my opinion, doesn't count for much lol
Overall nicely mellowing

Bass is love.

This is one I've been working on tonight. A jungle bootleg for a bit of fun. Kept it lo-fi sounding, I think it works well like that.
Let me know what you think...

It's a cool track, especially for a first time, the levels are there really (although my personal taste would be for a slightly quieter kick) but my main concern is the 32 bar intro.. I found myself losing interest as the tension wasn't keeping me interested up until the drop.
Also it's crying out for a melody over the bass. The overall impression of the track in my mind is one with a lot going on in the low frequencys but little taking up the space up top.

trying to set this eerie vibe, this part should be the "main" part of the track, nice and slow. intro/outro/break is gonna be about pad buildup, effects and bass effects. I think the bassline kinda sucks at the moment...

I don't know where your track chase the shadows is...it's not in your sig. However I did listen to the rest of your stuff and it's pretty good. Needs a little bit of eqing and cleaning up I'd say, but it's good stuff

Stappard - really digging this tune, could do a change with the bassline notes after every 8 bars just to one another harmonizing note a bit lower, but love the lo fi sound, not sure if it needs to be as long as it is.
Klown theory - I like your style, love the bass sound seems to fit into the mix really well. Sounds like Sea shanty haunted house dubstep haha. Maybe more of the bassline but thats just personal taste.
Hangman - like the bassline but i dont think you need to have the side chain from the kick on it on it possibly making it sound weaker to some folks. I recon it would be worth having a sub playing along with it.
Can someone tell me how i can make the drop in this tune phatter, what am i doing wrong? Track is influenced by moderat amongst other things. Advice on the track pllleeeease

A new bounce from me.
Ill never finish any tunes
One problem i am having is when i export a tune from flstudio the low sub bass seems to be artefacting. Is it because of the bitrate i am exporting at?
I cuss 80% of the tunes I hear but I really like this one.
Love that little synth sound at the start of every bar. Tune has got some nice progression, keeps me interested. Snare seems a little harsh compared to the rest of the track, could just be my ears but I find alot of producers wack their snares up too loud for impact and then they lose out because the rest of the elements can't stand up properly. Especially with a kick underneath the snare, one of the two probably needs to come down a bit.

When the bass comes in it absolutely washes out the whole track and you are losing all the high end frequencies. Probably got some mad compression on it doing that. Reign the bass in and watch that compression because it's fucking the track.
In general as well feels like the track needs a bit definition on the high end, i can't hear any high-hats, feels like the track is missing them a bit inbetween the percussion.
Otherwise I quite like the idea of the track, it's got a nice kinda off/key positive feeling to it.

Right about the bass, it's got far too much mid-range muffle drowning out the rest of the track. I think it would be better with more sub/mid ratio, maybe a bit of those highs, but cut the mid range right out of that bass and you might have a bit of a clearer sound.

Reminds me of some of them oldskool jungle tunes, sound quality completely fucked. I kept waiting for the melody to disapear and some SICK jungle break to hit with some serious sub
