Hey guys, this song (as with most I work on) ends up getting better as it goes on haha
This is a few months old now (I think my sounds have progressed a lot since) but it's the last song I actually finished and put on soundcloud and wanted some feedback
Let me know what you guys think - especially the ending - looking forward to it

love the kick. and the very end was down too haha. some of the levels in the first half on some of the wobs and bass hits are either far too high or too soft in comparison to eachother and makes for too abrasive of a mixdown imo

Thanks for the feedback bro!
I agree on the levels. I've been wanting to redo the mixdown, but already started a new song and didn't want to look back. Maybe some remixes later on

Yup levels are all over the place. I also think that ride is panned too much to the right, but it could be me lol

I don't think I panned the ride.....? Haha
Other than the obvious levels situation -
Anything you guys like or find intriguing?

Haha, you want to know something funny? When I was producing this track I really thought people would dislike that part the most, but instead it seems to be everyone's favorite.
The other part I get a response to is the ending.
Keep the feedback coming

The arpeggio's at the end are cool, I agree
You should try using some more reverb and high end stuff like crash cymbals or whitenoise downsweeps and stuff, that would fill this out neatly. For the rest fix the levels, and maybe try and find a bit of a less "flabby" kick if you know what I mean? Maybe compress the one you have a bit. Could do with some more punch so to say

I'll be following this!

Thanks for the additional feedback
I'm really trying to figure out how to get a high pitch lead that isn't garbage.....I've been working on a few for days, but I never like them enough to use in my track I'm building now.
Almost done with my newest track. It's called "Intensity". It's a lot better imo than any of my other tracks (progression!)
Follow me on soundcloud so you can hear it when it drops
