Please check out my new track 'Blood Wreck (first mix)' and post your comments here!!!
This is my second track. Once again, I used FL Studio 7, Producer Edition.
This one is very different from my previous track, 'Hallucinating'. It's faster, the beats are heavier and louder, it constantly chops and changes, it's 'full-on' the whole way through ... and it's much shorter!
There's lots of distorted beats, layered sounds, etc, but nothing complicated. My intention was to make it sound rough and heavy, to give it a serious head-banging vibe.
Anyway, let me have your comments please!!
This track has been deleted on the producer's request

The snare in the buildup is too loud.
The main bass sound is really average, from 0:49 till 1:02 it is too loud. Otherwise you have evolved in a pretty good way.... Keep the improvements up. Work on the structure of the track, put some more work into the balance (some elements are pretty loud now).
The female vocal doesn´t fit the overall style of the track in my opinion.
Keep it up!

Thanks for that Battle. I basically agree with your comments about some of the levels being too high, etc. Unfortunately, I don't have the benefit of some decent speakers. The only thing I used was a pair of Sennneiser HD 215 headphones.
You say the bass is average - which is probably true. If you were writing the track yourself, what would you do with the bass to spice it up? I having difficultly getting good bass sounds out of FL Studio and I'm lacking ideas at the mo.
Anyway, I'm glad you think I've evolved a little from my previous track. Cheers mate!

you have no intro 
the drumz are not loud enough and you need the clean the bass a bit, bit less distortion, it'll prob give the tune a total different sound.
I like the vocals, also the female vocals!!! they give this calyx/dom&roland atmo.
very nice, just clean it up and you have yourself a fine tune!!!

Thanks plastik! Glad you like it.
Yep, no intro. It goes straight into full-on mode. Most DnB tracks have an intro but it's good to spice it up sometimes and do something slightly different.
Interesting that you say the drums aren't loud enough... I was quite wary of them being too quiet when I was making this track, so I turned them up and knocked the bass back a little.
Yes, quite a distorted bassline - that was the intention but perhaps I went too far.

not much i can say on this, only, maybe try and clean up the mix a little bit.
some cool little things goin on in the track.

Glad you like it Seven. It's great to get good comments from real DnB headz after working on a track! 
Getting the mix right is something I'm working hard on right now. It's one of my weak points so I'm determined to get it right. Hopefully you'll see even more improvement in my next track.

Since you don't really have an intro, I would just eliminate the mini (4 bar?) intro you have and just start it out w the main break.
The mix seems a bit all over the place.
On the good side I do like a lot of the ideas of the song. Nice vocal stabs, drums arent too predictable etc.
I think there are some nice elements here, but this 1 has a ways to go IMO. Good start tho.

another tip for when you make a proper intro for this...
try and make it epic sounding, with sweeping pads and orchestral strings n stuff. maybe even an operatic female vocal for extra wow.
infact...
that sounds too good, i'm off to make it myself!!! lol
