Please check out my new track 'Eyes' and post your comments here!

An edited 160kbps clip of a new track I'm working on. Some dark and minimal rollage! Love to get some feedback. Cheers. Wink

hihat in the main drums is too upfront (kinda hurts the ears). Great dark minimalist atmosphere.
After the breakdown things really get going. A vocal in this part would be nice. Drums could have a tad more power. I like the bass stabs from the breakdown and second drop. Some more FX 'n things would make things more interesting in a full length version.

drums are really good structure wise, base works really well. there seems to be some wierd panning in the main part didnt soundright in headphones. sounds a bit too minimal for me but maybe thats my taste tho.

The tune itself is absolutely wicked but I really don't like the compression you're using. It's very middy and nauseating at high volume. Ouch. Also, there's some strange panning going on with the high hits, bongo sounds and bass stabs. I'm listening to this on headphones and it's quite uncomfortable. If I had to remaster this I would definitely centre these elements and tone down/alter the compression. The tune would definitely benefit from it.

Like I said tho, the tune itself is top notch. Certainly one of my favourites of yours. Very pro-sounding. This should be on a MetalHeadz CD somewhere.

Love the half time break in the intro, very cool.

A little too much high end for me in the intro.

Love the breakdown at 1:06, especially the hand drum hit.

I was expecting a bit more of a drop, I think the tune needs to progress more at the drop to incorporate a bigger bass line, some sub bass, or a stronger beat.

A bit too minimal for my taste but the production is solid and there's a lot of potential here.

Im liking the darker ambient sounds and the filteres drums in the intro. The drums that drop at 23 seconds have a wiked structure that carries through for most of the track. As much as i love the structure some of the drum hits (snare and hi hats) sound a bit tinny and sharp. Some nicer sounding hits would really polish this track off. As far as the synths go i rekon they sound awesome. Some of the things i dislike most about other tracks on this site is the control and choice of the synths. I think youve nailed both pretty well in this track. Tidy work keep it up.

its always a good idea to check your mix thru headphones aswell your monitors. they will pick up on panning problems.

Please turn down the hihat its WAY to loud mann!... It makes it impossible to listen to your track without turning it down almost all the way. Please next time you mix put it at a softer volume and realize that after awhile of working on the music you will stop noticing the high frequency sounds as you get used to them and then you will keep mixing them in louder and louder... this is dangerous for your ears!

I like the fullness of your bass sounds but they can be supported by fuller drums.. perhaps when you make the highs in the track a bit lower they will already have a good level with the bassline.

I like your use of a dark sample and your minimal sounds. It gives a real good atmosphere to your track.
