nice tune man, i dont think there is something wrong with the intro, id leave it that way. bassline is sweet, however you could change it a bit at some points of the track though.
also you could spice up the whole tune with some fx....
overall, i like it! Big Grin

Mate, you've posted 4 tunes within 5 days! Shocked Even the most frequent reviewers are not gonna be able to keep up with that. Why don't you space them out a bit more? One a week would be plenty. It would give people more chance to give their response. Notice how your first tune got the best level of response and your other tunes gradually got less and less responses. That's no coindence.

Also, if you want lots of reponses to lots of tunes you need to make a big effort to review more tunes yourself. The general rule is, the more reviews you do yourself, the more you'll get back in return.

Roll Eyes Saying things like this is not helping your cause either! If you can't see much wrong with it, is it not pointless to ask people to review it? I notice you make these types of comments quite often about your own tunes and it doesn't help with getting reviews. It sounds arrogant and puts people off. You need to say things like, "I'm happy with the beats and the structure but I need comments on the sound quality and how to improve it", etc, etc.

OK, rant over. Don't take this too harshly, this is my way of trying to help. Happy

fair points there.

i did try keep this one away from the site for a while but now ive started another tune already :S i cant keep up with myself sometimes cos i have little production sprees now and again.

yea i see what u mean by it seems arrogant... guess i should rethink the wording

by the way i have been reviewing other tracks... will do more tho

3Khz and up could use a boost.
Bassline needs more variation.
Kick and snare could be a tad more upfront.
Gets pretty repetitive after a while, could do with a good hook (a vocal a catchy melodic phrase, some special stab sound, .... )
Buildup starting at 2:45 is a bit chaotic with the kick drum comming in a bit late.
Good tune!

Cool track, very Hazardish.I would boost the 11khz to 13khz about 2 to 3 db.It just seems to be missing that high end a bit.See if u can squeeze some 40hz to 50hz as well.

Cool track though, I likes.

Yeah, this is pretty funky the whole way through. It bangs and smashes nicely. A couple of tweaks tho. That snare sounds a bit weird to me, like it's got too much stereo panning. It sounds like it's being played in the background. The hi hats are a bit mashed as well. They don't seem to have much definition, they are very hazy and sqwishy, if that makes sense. Melodies are pretty good, if a little repetitive. Not really my style but others will cerainly like this. This is a better tune from you, so well done for that.

definately one of ur stronger tracks - u do this style well mate! Bigup

overall ur right not much wrong with it, sounds good to me production wise

suggestion - structure could be worked over a tad just to get a more defined drop (and some more tension built up towards it)

nic stuff overall man, defo enjoyed this one! (ps nuthin wrong with makin it funky Wink )

wicked bassline Big Grin

hi mate, intro isnt that bad really. the kik and snare need more wack to em. the bass is pretty kool imo, whole track is over compressed but that maybe the style your going for. needs more elements in the main part or more changes.
