the audio mix sounds good. your choice in sounds is good. it just seems that the drums in the first part aren't really fit for this piece. after the drop the drums seem to fast and to lifeless. add some depth to them fuckers and slow down the drums. the bassline is strong sounds crisp. just hook up the drums and your on your way.

Totally agree with Casket. This tune would sound much better if slowed down I reckon, especially since it's a liquid style tune. The beat needs more groove, as opposed to speed. Also, the kick needs more lows. Snare is ok. Melodies are very good throughout. The saw bass needs some work I reckon. It sounds pretty flat at the mo, pretty uninspiring. Why not add a bit of chorus or flanger on it? Also, it would probably sound better with a clean sub underneath it.

thx for the reviews so far. The tempo is 190bpm at the mom, I'll see what's happening when I turn it down.
Adding more punch/low end to the kick is no problem, any other suggestions how they sound more lively?
The bass already has a flanger on… but I guess I’m gonna find another way to enrich its sound. I though of introducing another, sharper bass later on…

thanks again.

nice chilled intro. I would recommend to fatten the breaks. It misses something. Maybe layer the kick drum. Damn its short man. The lowest bass note is too low, barely hearable i think. The reece could sound more phat. I like it now. The sound needs layering and better EQ. Then add the rest. You know the drillSmile

edit: damn, 190?! thats almost breakcore lol

The intro is sweet, but sometimes it clips badly.
Drums need work... bad samples, they have too little impact. Use a break for layering. The ghost hits are too loud.
