Please check out my new track 'BABA-YAY' and post your comments here!!!
My first finished track, mix is probably not too good as this is my first go at the mixdown process so all comments and help welcome. Cubase SX2 + Reason 4 used.
Mixdown is actually really good.
And for a first track (heard a couple over the years..) this one is a smasher.
You seem to have made several tracks at once, but there are some good things going on in there. Don't try to push all your ideas into one tune. All the vocals are awfully loud. The bass in the 5:40 area is weak, don't play it solo like that.
Don't use so many percussion loops, it gets on my nerves. 7:30 is far too long, you aren't making a record here, it's a track for people to give feedback on.
While in the process of learning, make shorter tracks, focus on the buildup of them.

Nice intro stabs, mate. Not to sure about the vocal, bit loud.
DRums a bit quiet and the vocal is getting on my nerves now...
Think the drop should start earlier.
Sub a bit quiet.
3.02 the change doesnt flow properly.
3.54 Bongo - maybe drop them an octave.
There are some nice idea's here. But the structure is letting it down
Around the 5.20 point. It sounds really good. Maybe use it for your drops and work on that for the song. The current drop is ok, but it sound like you have mixed two songs together.
Personally, I would keep the intro, but change the vocal. For the drop at 1.30 (shorten th intro), use the stuff at 5.20 and gradually mix the stuff at 2.15 in with it and work from there. just an idea
Nice song and it has a bit of protential. Just sort the structure out better.
build-up is all good, intro synth gets a little annoying after a while tho.
drums sound nice but could maybe use a little more juice to em, dont seem to pump enough.
dont like synth sound after 2:00, really wierd.
theres too many themes going on in this track, keeps changing all the time, vary the main hooks, pads etc rather than using too many new elements.
not bad overall tho, like the snare sound, compressed a bit it would pump through really nicely.
nice work overall.
nice delay in the srtart, it's got a good reverb on it. now the track it self is very chill starts off eveil, and has quite an evil mood to it in general, i love it, the tunes and melodie sare nice. you didn't over due the samples, which is a big amature mistake.
nice drop in it, i love the synth that is distorted and going it the background nice movment to it. and the vocals before 5:15 the scream, that's a nice little sample. it definatly adds to the track.
overall nice track.

Deffo agree with Seph's comments on this, and most of the other comments too. For a first tune, this is impressive, no question. There's tonnes of potential here. But there's also a few basic errors (which are understandable and expected on first attempts anyway). Like the others already said...
There's too many different elements, melodies, changes, etc, for one tune. Try hanging the tune on 3 or 4 solid elements/hooks and modifying them through the tune rather than constantly introducting new things. It actually sounds like a mini-mix to me, with about 3 or 4 different tunes fading in and out. Are you a DJ by any chance?
The beats deffo need some compression on them. I like the pattens and I've got my head bobbing to them tho.
I agree that the distorted synth sounds very much out of place. It completely changes the smooth vibe that you built up in the beginning.
Also, there's too many percussion loops that keep stopping and starting.
The tune doesn't really go anywhere. It sounds more like a collection of nice loops, rather than one solid tune.
But hey, for a first attempt this is very good. Keep going at it.

likin the sounds on the intro already.. beat sounds cool, not hard enough though could do with a heavier snare (and use ur current one as a ghost hit). like the triangle hit in the beat- alwaysa winner
tune sounds cool when it gets going although the bass could also be heavier..
good stuff for a first tune - can't wait to hear ur other stuff!
