Please check out my new track 'Chase That Cat' and post your comments here!

Here is an almost finished version of a preview i uploaded a week or so ago.

If the mix sounds a little out its cos i have had to work on it at night (on bloody headphones) gotta pressure the flatties into letting me blast it to get the mix sounding spot on.

I reckon the drops need a little more work, there still abit muddy and incoherent but its definitely getting there.

All advice welcome

where oh where is the mid/ midhigh????

Can't really make a review out of this quality..... But I think if the high ends are back in their right place it's a nice track. Not overly original but nice and solid. Sometimes the repetitions are becoming a bit boring for me, especially in the part before the little break around 4.20, and after that small break the track could use more variation and a different melodyline in the bassline.
More freakin' could work out well I guess Smile , like the small part around 5.05 min.

Think most of the patterns are a bit predictable. Your percussion could also use some more variation.

Ah, nice change at 5.50. I like that Smile

Overall, nice track.

Hihats start to annoy me a bit after a while.... But maybe you wanted it like that.

The vocal gives the song a slow feeling, which is flatly opposed to the feeling of the rest of the song which gives me a weird feeling.

I like the 'hardcore'kind of sound which u use in the beginning of the track...

I'm curious what your track will sound like after mixdown. Think it will show a lot more then it does now Smile

It might just be me but this is too repetitive for me. I like my bass/synths to have more variation. Also I have mixed with headphones and it still sounded better mixed that that. I would try to add more variation to the synth/bass parts. I don't really know what else to say so I am going to keep typing until I get over 100 words. So I am typing, typing, typing to get over 100 words. Over all this track is pretty good. I would change things like I said. Sorry about the paet about just typing but it has to be over 100 words.

hello there matey! haven't heard the previous versions i don't think...here we go Big Grin

cool intro to start off with, good combination of sounds they all work well together. yes i really like the beat when it comes in! like wrm said nice rhythm loving the bass / beat sync really all works as one whole!!

and the filter bass action, i like that too yeah!!! boh love the rides that beat is rollin, nice little edits keepin it interesting

melodies all nice, structure all good imo

yeah mixdown sounds a little muffled to me, a bit dull if u catch my drift (needs more "brightness") and that is the only major thing that needs sorting out on this one

nice work here mate - will have to have a listen to some of ur other stuff, u defo got some ncie vibes goin on here - respect!

ok straight off u missin sum hi-mid freq prob 2 do with the way u had 2 mix down like u sed u ed phones prob 2 bright so it gives the mix an overall dull sound wen i play,
i dont really like the first melody i cudnt put my finger on it jus a bit boring so i gave it a few listens, i think u shud do this:
on both diff liks the lowest note that is played twice like
x
x
x
x x < that 1 <that was suposed to cum out like notes on a piano roll but when i post it delete the space, i hope u know what i mean

soz best i can to try n explain well i think that note shud be accented maybey real low and more gritty or jus louder cos its a riff there sound sumfin missin its like a QnA but it needs more accent of that
i really like the second melody if were me i wud make a tune jus outa that n it jus bangs wiv them drums perfect luv the hi end ameny loop all the way thru.
vocal seems werid like the breakdown melody @4;20 i think u shud apply diff filta cutoff rates to diff notes here u used the rave samples from this site?
the transittion from the two diff melodys needs work

overall nice 1, tune needs a another mixdown pushin up the hi-mids (but u knew that)

Yep this is getting better with every listen, really like it! It's is coming out a little muffled tho but understandably if you haven't mixed it down properly yet. Bass lines are raw!!! Big Grin

Cool bassline. Definitely the highlight of the track for me. Everything is sounding thin tho and it's very quiet. The whole thing needs boosting. Also, there's a distinct lack of low and low-mid frequencies - which is where the 'meat' of the track should be, especially for dnb. Sort the sound quality out and you could have a nice tune.

yo

pretty cool tune man. not really diggin the jump up bassline but likin the more techy bass in the 1st breakdown. Lower register of the mix is a bit muffled.
Is pretty long too

Peace

listening through laptop speakers love the bassline after about 3 n a half mins in. few mor breaks needed but as u say not finished yet. dont think the two different basslines really sound from the same track think u should go along with the rollin one at 3 mins and make that the main gist of the track. maybe a big upliftin synth comin in somewhere?? ragga lyrics just before the drop and on 4min 30 wen it cuts out n the bassline goes hectic mite sound pretty phat and a ragga guitar strum on each snare hit muted up cud work but again you couldnt hav the other bassline if u wer guna go down that route. but i love basslines like that 3min one proper rollin!
