Please check out my new track 'Untitled. Unifinished. Continuing...' and post your comments here!
Right, this isn't even mixed properly but I have to get some kind of opinion on whether this is going in the right direction.
Personally, I think it is, but I really need some feedback and I know I can get it here.
By the way, I know I haven't reviewed anybody's tracks in the last few days but I promise I'll catch up later today - you lot are retty inspirational

I think the mix would benefit from a bit more (and clearer) high end. Eq your drum loop a bit better or add some cymbals that sound more defined in higher frequencies.
The half time beats in the beginning sound quite chopped what I personally don’t like… if it was your intention to have it that way leave it, otherwise you should try to keep the groove of your original break. Slicing it more precisely or time starching…whatever you want.
I would also go for a simpler programming of kick and snare….but well again personal preference here.
Overall it’s not bad and you created some good tension with build-ups and stuff.

Yeh, the drums were a tad too crunchy before and I might have been a little severe with the cut I made.

It's meant to be choppy, ain't gonna change it now but I think I've learned a bit for my next track regarding my breaks.

the track sounds muffled at the moment maybe thats due to the mix tho, i dont like the kik not sure why it dosnt seem to sit right??
anyways the structure and the sounds are really good
im sure about that synth at about 1:20 sounds better when it gets going just dont like the way it comes in. id have alot more fx or vocals over the main part, overall good track imoa. just needs cleaning up.

I can't do anything on these cruddy speakers man, takes me a while to get a mix right EQ wise so bear with me [monitors required asap].
I know what you mean about the kick, its been buggin me for a while now.
It's a layered job, gave it more 'oomph' (some 909) but I'm still not happy with (as you say) the way it doesn't sit right. I've kept tweaking it but to no avail so I may redo it!

I was slightly worried about cluttering the track tbh, though I am experimenting at the moment. Pretty much got the whole track laid out now and working away.
