heho

I like it, its very chilled. But maybe i have also a few tips for you
At the end of the intro you should fill the part with almost no sound or make it shorter imho, its not fitting. Same in the 1/3 where the same part comes.
For your compression.. i dont know the typical names for all the effects, but i could help you if youre using fruity loops. I kinda know a bit by playing around with all the effects/plugins.
The drums and that stuff should be a bit clearer if you know what i mean

thank you for your feedback. i have the same thoughts about the intro.

i'm using ableton live. i'll try to make drums cleaner, most of them are recorded and then i put them into the drumrack to sequenz them. i see a problem with my kick drums, wich are to muffled.

i would be a happy man, if i'ld have good monitors. man it's so annoying usind headphones and cheap desktop speakers. money issue...

i like the chill. i agree with the above, just cut that silent section in half and you should be good there. your drums sound clean, good job.

silent section at the intro? or in the middel of the track?

another question: when beats drop i have a really bad sound on some sound systems. i guess thats a problem with the compressor?

I think you misunderstood me a lil bit, maybe because english is not my main language. ^^
The drums doesn't sound "unclean".. i typed unclear, like they should have a few higher freq. eq'd upwards for example, to stand out just a little bit more against the bass. And what i just realized while typing this, i don't mean any drum there, its one specific one which I meant, sorry.

The tune is hella deep, propa chilled out vibin track bruv. Try compressing your kick a bit, or EQing it a bit different, it sounds like there's a low pass on it, which is dope but it gets muffled and swallowed up, a lot of my kicks do the same thing. Second drop is tooo dark. 320 of this when you feel it's done please!
