Quite hard reviewing this one. There are some nice ideas here, the main let down is the sound quality really. You need to do a bit of eqing really. The bass is to quiet and the snare is far to loud. That funny little vocal thing does get a bit annoying after a while.

Maybe chuck another break in and use a few fx on the drums... echo, reverb ect. Would be nice to hear the ride cyble more louder.

not bad though, does grow after a couple of listens Happy

Pretty much agree to brucy. Drums really need beefing and I suggest using a different programming of kick and snare, it doesn’t really flow well. The cymbal added later on doesn’t really help. So beef up your sounds, layer another kick and snare underneath, change programming, add another break (as suggested) and it will sound better.

The bass is pretty much uninspiring. To basic, no real movement in it or power. It could use some more compression on it and I would change it’s actual sound, too.

The atmos in the tune are quite good and that’s why I think it’s worth work on it again.

Peez!


oh and the whole tune could use more loudness. crank up the master a bit.

EZ stiffer

liked parts of this - melodies and basslines are cool

mix lets it down a bit though I reckon, bass is pretty quiet so are drums apart from snare which is very loud

keep at it though

ez man, yeah brucey's right toughey to review this one!

cool bass, needs to be brought tothe forefront a bitmore i think, its not clear enough for me

so far it all sounds very basic, ur still in the early stages of this one right?

beat needs a lot of layering, sounds really thin to me, also think u need more going on the mid frquencies, sounds almost completely empty there, lacking energy too

best way is to get a synth lead of some sorts thats more of a hook rather than a background noise and work around that, beef everything else around it, cuz it seems pretty much most the elemnts need to be brought together to something more identifiable

soz dont mean to sound harsh, hope some of my waffle was of any help to you!

Agree with what they others have said. With a better sounding mix this could be really good. There's some nice melodies and bass sounds here. Beats need more shuffles to get them rolling tho, they sound quite flat. Think about layering them with a loop or two to fill them out. I can hear a jungle-style loop in the background but it's very quiet, doesn't punch through. Yeah, like Brucey boy said, that high-pitched vocal sample gets a little annoying after a while. Concentrate on the sound quality side of things and you could have a nice tune on your hands here.

hi

yeah i like the intro kinda dark with the rollin jungle feel.
bass is cool but a bit too quiet maybe have a different sub riding underneath..
lacking a bit in the mids could do with maybe a hook or melody of some discription.
snare is a bit too loud
yeah not a bad tune but needs some work to make it better.
peace
