Easy now! Big Grin

Everything sits nicely in this mix, very good, liking the bass!!

Good use of FX although I think you could do with some whirly sounds, I'll have to send you a few lol...

Good tune overall, changes very slightly every now and then to keep it moving Big Grin ...Keep at it Wink Drummer

Nice to hear you do something different, it's great.
The part around 1:10 is stil a bit too empty but the structure is there.

maybe those hihats are a tad too harsh for a liquid track?

The double snare at e.g. 1:57 isn't very suitable for liquid, make the second snare with a totally different snare and make it a bit softer.

Visit Breakbeat Paradise for some female vocal packs. Add FX, delay, reverb, use some vocal bits instead of the full recognisable (and rinced to death) samples, pitch them a bit, reverse them,... be creative to get something original out of it.

Super move to try a different style, it will make you grow as a producer! :Bigup:

this is sum good shit! it sounds real pro!.. the sound somewhat reminds me of grand turismo games, not the beats just the sound of it.. anyways the wobble bass came in just now.. got a nice vibe to it.. twistin nice n low..it's actually quite a perfect tune to ride down a mountain, nice n early with sweet powpow between your fingers.. i'm sorry i cant give you some technical advise , but its because your shit sounds way better than mine, so i can only give you my likings.. thumbs up for this one..
later

Liquid from the one like CULTURE BOY Oot!

Def. digging the vibe to this, member that track "midnight" by M. intalex and jenna g, the vocals from that track would be nasty with this maybe try to find vocals of a similar style, soft and laid back with high points where needed, you know Wink

I wouldnt mind hearing some more variations in the wobble more flowy instead of just moving down octaves, like maybe a high note before the transition like your pad does and maybe some more variation with the pad as well

I could see this turning into some funky ass shit boss!

all nitpicking aside solid tune with crisp drums lovely pads, audible sub, and a wobble that'll bring a tear to your eye, all the fixins for a culture boy classic Tongue

EZ,

Very nice vibe you have going here, i like the minimal approach and chill sounds.

Drums are tight and sit well in the mix. A bit more variation would be nice.

I don't think the sub and wobble can hold the track at 1:30. I would drop in some sort of pads or effects over that section. The vocal might be nice there too.

I think that the chord voicing could be improved, as it is the pad chords are really well chosen but the notes don't quite flow, switching up the voicing of each chord would help.

Nice piece overall and the mix is good, a few effects would really benefit the track.

Yeah mate, this is good stuff. It's great to hear some new vibes from you... you still managed to get a wobble in there tho ya naughty boy you. Tongue

Sound quality is good. Very crisp sounds throughout. I'd agree with Battle about the hi hats sounding a little harsh tho, I'd try to make them softer. And it gets kinda empty around the 1.25 mark. Still good tho, but a little sparse with just the deep sub and beats.

Deffo needs some vocals. The melody is perfect for this. Try using a fairly long delay and a decent amount of reverb on them.

Everything else is sounding good imo. Well done mate. Big Grin
