Please check out my new track 'Hello?' and post your comments here!
New tune, not finished lemme know. I took out all the samples, so it might sound a bit empty. Last minute headphone master lol
My favorite bit is at the end, and its not really arranged, its just sort of in the order I made everything in.
Some nice heavy vibes and filtering FX. The saw bass is a little too static. You should think about adding some modulation to it because it needs more texture. Also, it is very centred the whole time, it needs a touch of stereo panning to widen it.
Melodies are good throughout. With a better bass sound, they'd sound much better tho. I'd try layering a saw wave (like the one you've already got) and a lowish reese bass, with sub underneath as well. This combination usually produces a heavy sound.
Beats are pretty good too. They do tend to sound muddy tho. You need to bring the mids out. Also, there is probably too much stereo panning on the hi hats. Kick is nice and solid tho.
Nice.

Hey good tune so far, although as you said am sure it'll sound a little fuller with the samples in.
You've got some good points in this track, though I think your saw bass is a little too tinny and grainy and would benefit with layering it with possibly a sub sine bass and and filtering out some of the harsh frequencies at the top end of the bass line.
Saying that the beats are good and punchy but the song does get a little repetative.
nice reece there, works.
hmm yeah like you said, need more.
slap in some ambience and pads n shit.
vocal samples too.
the beats need some work. kick and snare are "muddy" and have no real clarity.
try layer another sample on top of each. something with a bit of mid-high end bite.
nice idea tho with nice vibes. if it was mixed down better and more in the track, i would certainly be feeling it more.
So far theres 2 bass drums and 2 snares, kinda one low and one a bit higher for each. Ive got the snares eqed to about 100-150 hz and the bass drums about 80 - 120. Ive got a bunch of hi hats and perc samples going to, maybe I should take some out. The next thing I'm planning on doing is eqing the drums better, on my $3,500 system, it sounds great, in the car you can tell its a little off. Definitley needs some high end stuff, I think. Thanks for the review!
P.S. Should i low pass the bass a little more to make some room for the drums? I feel like the bass is eating up all the midrange.

good track love the atmos reece however the drums could be a bit louder so there a bit more powerfull like the high pitch insecty sound. i think for the size of the track there are too many breakdowns and not enough constant drumming but its dark i like it if u could bring in the 3 40 break sooner then drop it out i think that would be better take cos u spend far to long waiting. this is hard when u dont really no anything so please ignore if u dont think that my suggestions are good. -- candida
__ who ever said you shouldnt play with fire obviously cant spin
when i first saw he title i thought u remixed lionel riche's "hello? is it me ur lookin for? i can seeeee it ur eyes!!" soz lol
only playin
yeah i like the melody with that saw synth lead but yeah agree with the others some more modularion and definately more low end to give it more presence
beat needs more layers and i think u could have more fx during the main part otherwise u get too much focus on that lead and it can get slightly repetitive i think that would definately help man
overall i still really like this one has got a lot of potential respect for that
lookin forward to more!
ps just heard the vocal - i like that a lot more than lionel riches! lol
