Please check out my new track 'Ride Or Die' and post your comments here!
Hey peeps. I finished my new track. Ride or die. This is one of my most complex tracks. It has almost 60 patterns and more than 30 samples. I spent a lot of time on this one. Lovely Brown provided me with some nice vocals. Thanks Lovely. I hope you will like it, cos i do and no matter what you say i always will, hehe. All advice how to improve the track are VERY welcomed!!!
edit: SOME feedback on the vocals would be nice, i am getting replies from my friends about not siting well with the track...but in my ears they are...so i am confused
yeh i quite like this track, i cant make my mind up if i like the vocal yet though, bass is wicked, second time listening to it, the vocals grown on me. i would personally add another, quicker hi hat layer but thats just me. cool track though!
Nice intro mate. I think the synth may be paning a bit much though.
Lovely drop, I think you could do with a slightly harder longer snare. Also, bring the sub a bit more forward, it would fill the track out a bit. Also bring the other distorted bass forward.
The vocals sound a bit distant to me. Maybe add some more fx, bit more echo on some words, but lose the reverb
Maybe make the beats roll a bit more. Few Ghosts...
Over all sound: Could do with a touch of eq'ing, it sound a bit week. But I don't think it would take much to correct it.
Nice track though. I don't hear much stuff like this on this site. A welcome change. It reminds me of the old Kosheen stuff or Future Cut.
Drums - nice to hear a bit of a slicing or at least a custom beat. right levels, right everything. love them!
Bass - a bit non existent for my liking but does the job and what it does, it does well.
Vocals - I can understand what your friends are saying but myself, it doesnt bother me. Lots of drum & bass & breakcore is about mixing things up that dont go. I think it works!
yeh brucie definately summed it up for me. agree with all those comments
have to agree with ur mates about the vocal, it dont quite sit right in my ears either. there a couple of points where it sounds like it goes a tiny bit off key in the singing. its not noticeable when u dont have much going on eg at the end but while the tune is running it dont sit right. u can get a vst which corrects singing going off key but i dont know how to use it! tbh tho, i rekon the vocal would be better used before n after the drop with minimal sounds going on. it did sound good at the end.　
other than that, love the drum solo thing u got in the middle of the tune, the bass ideas r cool, cool track overall.
peace

revel in the crapness of the website and then hit the add button... go on, do it, u know u wanna
wow - don't talk to me about big projects - workin on one right now that my pc can't handle!!
like the piano stabs in the intro and that toher mad fx synth thing, cool melodies
love that bass - jus my kinda shizzle, love it!
vocal seems to fit okay, i think the others are right, its slightly distant but what i personally reckon u gta do to make it flow better is increase the number of steps on the delay - make it faster, more syncopated and it'll sound wicked (cuz the stuff shes singing imo sounds wwwwiiiiiccccckkkeeed!!!!!) wicked vibe dude, RESPECT - thats my advice anyhow. could possibly even chop it up a bit more and experiment with that
the beat sounds good, but some more layering would help (sorry dude - iknow the file size is big enough as it is!!) make it sound fuller
good tune man- i still like it despite the minor flaws
Yeah, pretty good tune mate. Can't really complain about the sound quality because it sounds nicely EQed to me, especially the kick. Personally, I like those vocals but I can understand why some people would say they are not sitting well. The melodies from the synths and the melodies from the vocal are not a natural fit but I still think they work well together.
The tune sounds a little empty to me at some points. I think you could add another synth somewhere to beef up the melodies. Also, the beats are a little thin. I'd deffo add some more hi hats and shuffles. The snare could be punchier too.
Good use of bass here, although I reckon it could be turned up. Melodies are good.
Overall, a nice tune. Just needs some more elements to beef it up. Good stuff tho.

thanks Tomos. I am happy that the kick sounds good out there, cos I focused on it pretty much. The vocals sit rather with the bass then the guitar-like synth so maybe thats why it can sound a lil off. Thanks for reviewing!!!!
Long time no review for your tune.
Nice work on this one ,especially with vocals,love deep sub bass it moves the mountains
nice drop around 2rd minute ,with those bongos and stuff,its quite psychedelic vibe in this one ,vocal make the psyche climax,love that.Overal good tune.
Keep it up.
nice build-up, snare really sounds nice to me,
drop lacks more percussion and maybe a break with lots of splashy highs (like the famous cold sweat break), vocals have too much reverb on i think, they sounds too distant, delay instead of reverb might work better.
structure is pretty nice, tracks changes up quite often, keeps everything fresh, jus needs another element or two on the drop to give it more impact.
nice work tho!
