Please check out my new track 'Bite the Ground' and post your comments here!!!

So after being criticized on my earlier tracks on not having much structure...hope this one fairs better...Tried to create a dirty distorted DB sound...with lots of bass...oh and theres a violin playing some continuous melody and a bee synth later on...don't really know if that fits...as this being a preview and all maybe someone has got a better idea for the violin...and I took down the reverb....hope that worked out...so listen and you know the rest

This track has been deleted on the producer's request

love strings in songs ...but that one is kinds cheesey..fake sounding , but i have the same problem with strings they never seem to sound perfect.cant put my finger on it but there is something about the drumbs im not sure about maybe to high in sound..like the crunch tho and flows pretty good but it was kinda a surprize when it came in , maybe more of build for the drop..and even with the string more of a melody outta them ya know...over all good quality tho..i like the track and would like to here more Smile

I think the main bassline drops in rather unexpectedly in the intro.

You have a thumping percussion noise panned to the left ear, I think this sound doesn't quite fit in the mix.

I think the string melodies are nice but the actual quality of the sound I find is a bit lacking... I really like the Cadenza String soundfont, especially for cello sounds. You can get that here:

The strings and bass seem to be in different keys, you might play around with the notes to sync them up a bit better.

I like the distorted bass but the kick seems to get lost in the mix a bit.

You might want to break up the track into more defined sections of 8 bars each, adding fills at the end of each section. You have some good ideas, they just need to be organized a bit better.

With a bit of cleanup this could sound pretty solid.

Kick needs more body, it's too thin.
Drop the violin, it sounds like if came from a midi library and it doesn't fit the style.
Track drops very sudden. Create some buildup towards the drop. Structure also means guiding the listener on the journey. Try to dance to your own track and try to imagine how a non-producer on a dancefloor would feel about the track when hearing it for the first time.
Keep drums and bass mono for better result, the bass is phasing pretty bad now.
Your bassline is energetic enough, don't do complex lead melodies on top, things will sound very chaotic.

Somewhat average sound. I would make your bit some more loud.

Hmm...and I tweaked it and tweaked it and ....well lets say it was a nice experiment but I couldn't tweak it enough to sound as good as some of my other tracks....so it bites the dust for now...maybe some day I will take the time to polish it some more...but on the bright side I have completed 2 new tracks recently that do sound good (a lot better) and have a better buildup and nice flow...in the coming weeks I will upload previews of Hell Fire and Zero...the firs being a rave kind of DB and the second a mellow tune...

intro not ponravilosb the basic part normally but when the theme from intro which is added is not combined it badly. The idea does not develop. Mastering is not pleasant. It is necessary to work further.

Hey

Agree with everyone else with the strings man, they need changing

once it drops I like whats going on musically but the mix is really muddy. Reckon you need to start again from the ground up n try and get some separation in the lower frequencies and some

There is a really peculiar percusive element that sounds like someone is trying to hammer a nail into the left side of my head when listening on phones, dont know whats goin on with that? It needs to go anyway.

Think a good tune in there with some work
