I like the bassline but it sounds very weak. The whole track sounds too flat and low. You should work a lot with eqing and the levels. The beats are rolling good but sounds weak too. I dont like the melody comes in at eg. 2:51, but if you think thats good you have to turn it up a bit i think.

quite like the synth in the intro, nice movement to it,
beat is ok, could use a layered kick and snare too beef the kick/ snare a bit, make em stand out more.
the bassline is pretty catchy, needs more low end tho, the track feels a little empty to me, needs a low end and more mid's to fill it out, highs are really dominant but could be cuz its lacking other frequencies.
not bad tho, got potential, needs more elements to it tho.

Everything sounded a bit weak, and i could tell that the drums were just a sample playing throughout. switch them up a little, go crazy. needs more punch, too. i like that bass sound that comes in at 2:12, but it needs a sub or somn
everythings a little weak, but its overall an average choon.

nice intro synth n kick build is solid i thinkku main beat lacks a bit punch n the bass mayby lacks a bit a weight sub side.
the bass line riff is bit old skool kinda thing u cud hear in 2000 straight simple notes being hammered out on a keyboard todays producers have really moved past that (glideing between notes cut n filter levels being diff on each note)but when i heard it i liked it instantly cos its exaclly what i luv bout dnb primal sounds simple but great.
if u polished the track up u cud pull it off
the second bass sound that cums in after the riff after the drop i think shud no b repeated , instead make a variation o the same sound
pad at the end is weak i wud loose it all together but i no what u thinking u need sumthing there.

easy now
the ideas in this one are good, feeling the rythem and sound of that first synth, the bass melody is cool too imo. have to agree with the others about the beef in the track - whack it up, layer the main hits and sounds overall and stop using the same drum sample
! yeh more variations on the main bass would b good too, filter etc
when everything on this one is sorted tho it would be a nice little groover.
peace

Not bad. The best part is definitely that bass breakdown and the way you bring in those funky breaks before it drops. I really like what you've done there!
However, like the others are saying, the overal sound is pretty weak. It's really lacking oophm. The kick is bang in the mid range which makes it sound very thin. The bass is not hitting home either. Deffo needs a more fuller sound.
Melodies are pretty good, no major complaints there.
Yep, deffo get some edits on the beats. Very static atm. Also, they sound quite grainy and filtered, in a bad way. Sounds like you've got a flanger plugin on them? I'm tempted to say you got a phaser on them as well, but it sounds too 'tube-y' for that.
I don't think you answered my last question about whether you are the former DJBassBeat. After listening to this tho, I can tell that you are.
