The structure of this track could use some work, it seems to move in various directions. Lots of good elements really, but I'm not sure if you can combine everything into a good song. I'm pretty sure you could make 2 or 3 good tracks out of this amount of ideas.

Mix sounds quite muddy, break needs a layer to get it flowing.

I think this maybe the first tune of yours i've reviewed Frown

damn i have been slack.....

but to the track.......

Lovely pads in the intro....
oh more nice sounds coming in.....
i think you could just drop the high hat in the intro and just wait for that beat to filter in....
that vocal dont fit mate.....just chop it...i think the track is sounding nice so far without it......
the snare is a but "roomy" layer in a more upfront snare...

Not keen on the drop if im honest.....i think the vocals are runing what coud abe a good track.....sounds like you are trying too hard to make them fit.

the beat also disappears a touch on the drop......need to make it more upfront either by turning down the bass sounds (which are pretty nice btwBig Grin ) or some selective eq.

Yeah not bad.....getting the mix sorted and some re-arranging and you onto a good'un

thanks im having trouble coz all my tracks seem to sound muddy, maybe its my soundcard which is just an audigy2 and also a lack of knowledge on what fx i should use on certain samples. i will slowly learn the hard way with time! cheers Rockin Woot

Nice synth work in the build-up, sounds very ambient and Orb-like. Yeah, them vocals don't really fit but you know that already.

The bassline at 2.50 is on the right lines but the sound is pretty mashed up. Needs more clarity and EQing. In fact, the whole mix is pretty muddy.

Beats are ok but they need to be turned up a bit.

I like the melodies in this tho. Quite unusual for a dnb track.

That intro was way, way, WAY too long. I measure when the track actually gets "going" when the bass actually feels like it's oscillating my speakers and that doesn't seem to happen until around 2:55.

I do like the sounds that were in the ambient beginning. You seem to have quite the handle on the background stuff.

The drums, I feel, could have had more of a presence. Do the drums actually get quieter when the bass comes in? I don't quite get the motive behind that.

I feel this track has potential all over it. Feels like an unfinished thing to me that bears rehashing and re mastering.

It could fare just fine with the huge into. I could very well be the only person on Earth who'd rather have it get into it in the first 10 seconds ;p
