It's good man, personally I think there were too many pitch bends. I kept wanting to hear more melody in the drops but it just kept coming in with more pitch bends.

The glitched vocals were cool but I felt like the rhythm/chopping was too random and made listening a little uneasy.

The mixing sounded pretty good to me, though some wobbles or synths sounded louder than others, maybe try compressing them all together by sidechaining them all to a mixer track with a compressor? Though if you're real hazy on the whole "compression" thing then maybe just adjust the channel/mixer slot volumes individually. Unless you're happy with different volumes

Anyway besides those points it's a good song imo, keep it up man!

[ronnikins22]

yeah i know, i repeated the same thing each drop lol. but thanks for the feedback man! and the vocals are a little off beat because i didn't timestretch it. i don't know much about compression, but when i listen to it in my headphones it sounds perfect, then i upload it and realize that some sub basses and sounds are louder than the others. but, again, thanks for the kind words. and i am already following you on soundcloud

One thing I would do, right after the drop, is just modify some of the rhythms you use with the bassline, keep the sounds, keep the notes, just in every 4 bar pattern, have a slight modification in the groove of the bassline, just give things more of a flow.

Also, when you mixdown, go less for volume, and more for balance, try bringing all your levels down, don't let anything go higher than -6 db in the mixer to save headroom, It's better to have a quiet but clean mix as you can just turn the speakers up. A loud and messy one just bothers people. And please don't for get your sub, I can't really tell if you've got one on this tune, it's late so I can't turn my speakers up too high, but even if you do, I think your mids are way high (in reference to my mixdown point), I should be able to turn things up and feel the buzz of the woofer on my feet at least.

[ronnikins22]

i'll take your advice man. i'm new to producing and i'm not up to par on mastering and having the right sound levels. but there is subbass, i struggle with making it sound louder. but thanks for listening!

[zerbaman]

How are you making your sub?
Just a single sine wave right? You just need to EQ other instruments in that case, to make more room for it.

[ronnikins22]

i use the midrange in osc 1 and a sin triangle in osc2 in massive. then in a new massive i use another sin triangle.

[zerbaman]

Just use one sinewave in any synth, it'll make the sub cleaner and clearer

[ronnikins22]

Will do!

[zerbaman]

Cheers dude, I'm following you now too

Though I should probably get around to finishing some of my stuff so I can put it on soundcloud haha

[ronnikins22]

I understand bro, I'm working on my second track. Gonna try some drumstep!

[ronnikins22]

Shameless self-bump.
Anyone wanna tell me what sucks and what's good about my track?
