drums sound good, lead/bass (not sure what's going on) sounds to grainy. Try a different instrument.

I loved your last tune, but this one sounds very messy and unfinished. It kinda sounds like an attempt at an Optical-style of tune, which is certainly a good thing. But the bass sounds way over-filtered. It has some strange stereo panning and what sounds like a very short delay effect, like it's being played in a small box room? Deffo needs more depth and growl. The beats during the intro are well programmed. I didn't like them once they dropped tho, they need more oophm. I'd layer them up a bit with a high passed loop that has lots of roll.

thanks for the comments! my bass indeed had some weird stereo panning (just like my pad actually :p) but i diden't notice it.. pulled a paz analyzer over it and indeed.. fixed it using the waves S1-imager.. the drums were allready layered with 4 chopped-edited-highpassed-funkbreaks but i pulled a bit up in the mix and indeed! Drummer
so thanks for the good tips! ;-) can i change the track by the edited version (which actually still is a preview 'cause it ain't longer than 41 sec) ? greetz pj

Do you mean, can you replace this tune with a new edited version? Absolutely. If you want me (or any other moderator) to delete this version once the new version is uploaded, just ask and we'll take it down for you. That would be better than having two versions of the same tune because it'll mean peeps will give comments on the new version, rather than waste time with the old one.

ez there mate Smile , from the get go - like the beat Bigup defo got a virus feel to it love the mwah synth

i think the sub could be more dominant just so the whole thing sounds heavier

more variation and some more twisted bass sounds would work a treat

definately like the direction its heading in, with more variation i think you could develop more of a hook something like every 8 or 16 bars

nice one! Big Grin

the first ten seconds of this is wicked and has very intresting structure imo. the synth that comes in after though has no impact at all. try layering it with a sub and a dirty ass mid range bass if you know what i mean.
