Love the vibe on this one... getting really good.
In the intro the guitarloop sounds out of sync with the drums, this effect appears again at the end of the track. Also the drum variation at 0:21" sounds far too slow (but after a few listens it fits in actually).

Around 1:06-1:16, drop that hihat. You get the impression that a buildup will come up, but instead it will drop.

There seems to be an error in your amen break at 1:05.

The stuttering guitarloop after the drop is not my kinda thing. Sounds too nervous for this kind of track for me. Maybe some filtering effect on the loop (without stuttering) would give a better feel?

From 2:00 on it rolls really good. here the bass is very well done, but a bit over present, it's damaging the guitarloop.

The track would shine more with a couple of extra elements that fit the overall style.

With a bit of work this could be a killer.

cheers Battle, looks like you never sleep and review like one of the firsts. I like that, big respect for that. That error you mean is not an error but a little bongo-like transition if you know what I mean. Its used in 22" as well. I was quite short with FX and additional elements because of lack of power, which my laptop really needsSmile but thx very much for the review

yo.
i think the sub is better now.
just sounds a very little bit muddy
try scooping out a bit of 250hz on the eq.
also, maybe a touch too much reverb sounds in the mix.
keep it up.

Sweet. The bass really makes you feel all warm and toasty inside. However - and perhaps this is due to my bass-heavy headphones - the bass sounds a bit too muffly and too low. The beats sound muffled too.

I like the change of beat at 2.00. Gives the track a nice new thumping rhythm. But again - they need to sound more crisp. They're slightly flat. I'd put more volume into the HiHats, give the Kick Drum a harder 'thumping' sound and tighten-up the snare.

I still think this needs a bit of work - but I'm still loving that guitar!! Sounds like a mellow Sonic Youth riff.

Thanks for the update. Enjoyed it!
