Please check out my new track 'Demolition' and post your comments here!
Demolition is my latest full length jump up track Intro is kind of liquidish and maybe the drop need a little bit of work to kock it into top gear. hopefully some of your tips and advice will help with that.
Most of the drums and sound effects were created in fruity loops 8 then bounced into reason 4, but the rest of the track is pure subtractor synth
Been playing around with bass sounds on that to try and create like a DJ Hazard type track but this is the closest i could get, some major fx processing going on there.
Mainly concentrated on the EQ for this track to try and get the most professional sound i could and i think its worked but lemme know if you dont agree.
Hopefully youll all like this since its not too 'in your face' like i usually attempt
anyways lets hear what u got to say dot be cru
nuff respect
__ Forget liquid, jump up and darkside drum n bass is the way forward!
Intro starts off really well, creating a good atmosphere in a small amount of time. The Intro kick is way out of place, and i think it remains so when the rest of the beat drops too. Too many highs for me, but i think it's just cos i dont like that kind of beat. Kick and snare both need more punch i think. Snare could do with more low end. Kick could even do replacing, sorry :S.
I love you builds, really suit the mood you are going for and make the drop exciting. Sub needs to be more prominent. Mixing need to be worked on a fair bit.
Like the atmosphere overall! Work on it. Maybe make it a bit shorter or add some more changes.
EQ wise: More bottom end! to much highs (hats, rides and crashes). mids need to be further up in the mix also. I hope this helps, and good work!
LIke that kick mate. Reminds me of the gabba squat parties. ANyway, when you beats drop in, they are lacking the thud on the basskick. I reckon a dirtier sub would help the tune aswell.
without sounding nasty, the tune isn't really going anywhere...
I reckon a nice horror sample would help add a bit of dimension to the track.
Not bad though

Firstly, the intro is not liquid at all.
It's more like industrial or something, definitely not liquid. The intro is ok but doesn't build enough tension before the beats drop. Just looping the industrial sample sounds a bit lazy to me because you could do much more with that.
The drop itself isn't setting me alight I'm afraid. That's personal pref, others will like this. But for me, it's a little too obvious and safe. It needs more suprises and originality. Again the breakdown around 4.20 sounds lazy, you need to build more tension.
EQ-wise I still think it needs a lot of work. For instance, there's a tad too much stereo panning on the beats. Also, they sound horribly phased and they lack clarity as a result. The kick definitely isn't thumping enough. Overall, the mix sounds thin and squashed, there isn't enough depth and drive to it. It's all very middy.
Lastly, I think the track length is way, way too long. You could easily reduce it by half.
Sorry for being a little brutal in this review but it's all with intension of helping your dnb skills.

If that intro is liquidish you can call me mother Theresa
Tune is way too long and there's not enough variation going on got such a length. You seem to have a love for distorted reverbed noises??? I'm not too fond of them myself.

It has a sort of heavy feel this track but doesn't really have it if you get me?
Drums waaaaay to thin man, you need to EQ them better for some fatness and punch.
Kick needs to be well heavier, I like it in the intro but it doesn't do anything after that.
Overall the tracks OD'ing on high-end for me but I like the sound of the track.
Wee bit long, and not much happens.
Could be really heavy if thats the way you want to take it, that whole industrial thang.
Keep at it mate

totally agree with a couple of the others-nuttin liquid bout this intro??luv the 1st beat of main drop where drums drop out-hevvy.kik defo needs more chunk-luvvin da basssline 4 this one-thought u could've changed it up a bit more on the 3mins(ish) drop.2 b honest me monitors aint great so wudn't really b fair 2 comment on d mix/eqin but 'i think' evrythin just sounded like it cud do wiv more oomph-generally sounds a bit echoey-poss 2 much reverb?but overall dis is the type of d&b i wudv playd on me dj sets so keep workin at it mate-potential 2 b a wiked tune-safe
