Yeah i'm a bit gutted really,i was well chuffed with my tune and i worked my balls off to get it done on a very small time frame that i had with work and shit.I know it will more than likely start when the op gets on but i was really looking forward to it.

Hey sorry for the late upload of tracks.... I've been sick with a fever for the last couple of days. I got a huge headache still but getting a little better where I can come to the computer and type this. I don't have a track finished for myself :l . If Wub or Sonika would like to adopt this thread it would be more useful/helpful in general.

I fail at this.

The intro is beautiful,really really mellow.I absolutely love the really wet reverb.The only thing i would say is high pass the reverb slightly so it isn't as muddy.
The drop is nice too,the sub bass sounds really warm,the kick really stands out from the sub too great separation.What type of drum is that your using instead of a snare,i think maybe you could bring it down slightly in the mix and maybe bring the wet up on the reverb a touch to make it sound a bit more in the background but in general i really like the drums too.The level of the hihats is nice too they are not to upfront,they just grove in the background nice.
All in all it is a really well made track,i like the ambience the track sets and the mix is nice everything sits where it should.Well done mate for a weeks work thats pretty sick.

The drums in the intro are sick,the intro itself is proper bouncy.My mate had a tape pack from some house rave in the 90's that had that vocal sample so you just brought back some good memories and made me feel old lol
The beats have a really good groove to them.I really like that sweeping pad you have in the background,if you made that props mate its quality.
The mix is good i would probably bring the sub up a little more but other than that on my speakers it generally sounds really good.
With that piano sound i think the way you chop it on a few of the notes here and there it sounds a bit too jerky,not to sure if thats the way you chopped or my internet is playing up,maybe the piano sample could do with a touch of reverb but other than that i like the sample.I'm not a house fan but i like it a lot.

That vocal is quality what is it?The intro the kick sounds really weighty on my speakers,i like the hat pattern aswel,my only complaint the hats are a bit to sharp,maybe bring the top end down slightly.
The drop is sick,the bass is sick,really well layered the sub sounds really good and the pitch bends are quality.Really fits the vocal well.
The snare i would leave dry and layer it with a a crash or something to give it more highend.I just think the reverb makes it sound to wet.I would layer the crash but sidechain compress it with the snare so the attack of the snare is left alone but you get the tail off of the crash.It's my favourite out of the tracks entered and really well produced but i really really want a copy of that acapella.

Really good tracks and i'm glad i put one in,looking froward to how people found mine.
