Please check out my new track 'bowling for guns update' and post your comments here!!!
yeah, took your guys advice on somethings, the bassline has more of a melody now, some of you guys might dislike it.. i like it, but that can be the result of hearing it 123032 times allready... since it's the longest time i've worked on a track i really wanna make this work.

Yeah, nice work lead, this version is much improved. Definitely found myself bopping my head to most of this. Really interesting style you've got here - don't think I've heard anything like this before. So 10/10 for being original.
You can definitely tell a lot of work went into this track.

yeh i would have to say u hav a very original sound - the quality has got better since the preview but tbh i preferred it when there was less of a melody - made it sound more military - can b a right pain in the arse when ur making tunes and when u listen to it shit loads of times - trust me know what ur talkin about!!
what i usually do is to keep the original tune for the start and then have the change ups at the end to mix it up a bit.
anyways loads of good ideas in this track

Awwright....
I've been away for a while, so this is first version I hear from this tune, also first tune from you. I am very critical listener, so please do not be offended if I seem to be too rude to you.
First, what's up with the volume levels and compression? You're very silent, my default listening level is 5, and intro is so silent my crappy ears have difficulties to get anything from her words at this level. However, your beats seem to be tight, like mastering compression would have been used. Did you remember to open your audio bounce in audio editor, and normalize the track to 0dBFS (eg max volume)? After some mastering compression plugins, audio track is not peaking to 0dBFS; but something under it...
Beats-wise, you are doing quite good. Ok, you're not up there with the best (yet), but beats work nevertheless. However I would adjust drum/master compression to have slightly slower attack time, so transients of the drums would get through and add some dynamics to your tune - this is matter of taste though.
Check with Voxengo Span ( http://www.voxengo.com ) or any other frequency analyzis plugin, that your general frequency is ok. To me it sounds that there is too much low rumble bass, I would go 6dB down on 60Hz area.
Intro speech is not understandable even with higher volumes, add a eq to her speech, boost 2-4kHz and 10kHz with 10-20dB, keep EQ curve very very steep (High Q value, 3-7 or something like that). Because you have build the track from separate tracks, and youre heard the vocal track soloed so many times that you probably remember every word, you also understand her speech much better than me. Get a friend (or anyone who has not been listening the tune from ground up) to help adjust the EQ levels.
As a generally Ok try, not anything to be overly Proud or shame, but a good try. Keep up, more tracks please, after 5 tracks you'll rock much much more!
