Please check out my new track 'Predator' and post your comments here!!!
Getting to grips with acid pro now, i was limited with my last sequencer, bass made on gmedia minimonsta, tried sidechaining the main elements, a bit of a weird track starts off all dark , a bit of a head nodder, comments advice votes and tips required, nice one!

The structure is a bit far fetched imo. To get people head nodding it should be a bit more predictable (I didn't say repetitive). Drums need some boosting, especially the kick, layer a break underneath those drums and work on their arrangment because it sounds like techno now.
You shouldn't make it all so complex, try to make a good 2 minute track with simple basic elements.

i seem to be having trouble with the arrangements, I try to make things different but it dont seem to go down to well, ive listened to enough d&b over the years to know that most dance floor tunes all seem to folow strict rules intro drop etc There seems to be a fair bit to read after doing a google search on D&b structure so i best get reading, thanks mate

yeah , everything seems abit too long winded , and complicated , without havin any sort of propper balance or meaning to the track , i know its hard , i have the same problem some times , but it seems like your around your grandparants house , trying not to have your tracks too loud , lol , they need more bass n the drums always need boosting , they seem too empty , and try to keep the drops quite preditable like drone said , cause when your out in clubs , the track needs to do something that people r going to relate to , theres noting worse than hearing a track and the drop just leaves u confused 
, i think u`r trying to make everything sound like it has bin worked on and like u`ve really made an effort !!!!!!! start trying to make u`r tracks simple , "not too simple" thou , get u`r structure right and then u can think about doin the more complicated stuff when u`ve got that sorted !!!!!!!
peace mate !!!!!!!!!!

Some cool ideas with the beat patterns and FX but the whole thing needs much more drive and bass. Like a lot of your tracks, the structure is pretty disjointed. It tends to go in blocks of patterns and melody. You should try focussing on getting one theme for a tune and build your elements around that, rather than putting different blocks of patterns together. You could probably get rid of some of the ideas and just concentrate on building a coherent tune just using your very best ideas.

Firstly i would change the drums there a bit weak
it needs some structure and it all sounds a wee
tinny if you don't understand it's quality is like a tin pan it needs some feeling but with a bit of quality this would be a great track bass is doing the right thing try listening to another tracks structure keep it up lad.
