i dont think its cheesy its just really trancy in the intro l like the synth but when that bigger kick comes in sounds reall boomy matey nice synth around the 50 second mark its a little too loud though man turn it down a bit. i love the drop man nice and big. i think there is a little competition for space between a few of the synths
i really like the arpeggio u put in there man sounds really really nice indeed man some cool sounds but just needs tidying up a bit. really like the vocal sample too man wicked stuff.

Yeah, this one feels more like a trance tune rather than a dnb tune. The beats take a back seat and the arppegiated and gated synths are really dominant throughout. That's not necessarily a bad thing but personally I'd prefer imore dnb elements - louder beats, a louder bassline and not as many trance synths.

The later two thirds of the tune are the best in my opinion because the first 1.30 minutes didn't really inspire me. I do think that the tune lacks coherence though. It doesn't really go anywhere for large sections of the tune. My suggestion would be to turn off the synths for a while and have a darker section, perhaps during the second half.

I love that vocal that starts up around 3.30! Super sweet. I'd love to hear more of that.

Some nice melodies in parts here mate.

The overall mix does get a little muddy at times. There seems to be a lot of similar sounding synths on top of each other. I would think about reducing the amount of synths so that just one synth is dominating at a time.

Overall tho, a nice tune. With a fair amount of tweakage it could be very good.

i really like the 1:34 drop, good to hear some trancey dnb... the scratchy synth and melodies are cool, vocals fit well too Smile bit better mastered, and a bit worked over and this will be a wicked choon!
enjoyed listening to it...

Very entertaining track, lots of variations and very good transitions between parts. I love the 303 bassline.
Mixdown is a bit "noisy", I think it's caused by the leads being very wide stereo and the bass being absolute mono, this gives a weird impression to the human ears. Maybe the mid-part of the bass should have some stereo too and the leads should be a bit more centered.
Absolute phat track though, vulgar display of power :-)

hmmm well when this track first slammed my ears I think the sound come in a little rushed. Space it out a couple more measures. Nice trancy sound programming or sampling you got here. Cool ring mod sound. that rising pitch swell for the drop doesnt fit until after the trance sound drops. Wow funky little drop with some good sound and with some cool panning. The snare needs way more PUNCH! As do the entire drums need more strenght and punch. All the melodic sounds and everything come through the mix great but some sounds are too loud like that bubbly skippity little dancing synth (turn that down). The drums need to sit out int he mix way more. Try turning those other sound down. Loads of variation and different sounds to keep the attention. Really professional. THe only thing I really hear is that drum thing and the mix. Like 98% done.

ez mate, more tranciness me likey Happy sounds like a lot going on around the 1:00 mark, i prefer the mix when the trancey synths are filterd out adn the gritty reece is much louder, maybe maintain that a bit more?

drop sounds wicked Rinse lovin the vibe and melodies as i do with all ur tunes - no complaints there! nice choice of electroey synths too

snare could punch thru a bit better, get more low in there, i'd actually try and layer a lower snare in there just to give it more body (a nice punch at the ol 150 - 200hz will do the trick)

love when the vocal comes in, 2nd breakdown section i'm really feelin

keep em comin man!

trancey and cheesy - yes it is but thats a good thing i guess! that legato synth at 2:18 does sound cool but it could stick to the rhythm a bit more because the song seems to fall apart a little there.

your sounds are all well chosen and so are their lines (well maybe apart from that 2:1Cool

one more thing: as much as i like the 'main' beat (@ 1:36) i think the hihats could sound more selective - actually i would suggest gating that beat slightly to improve note separation.

i like the structure a lot - it's quite a long piece and does not come boring. the way parts are laid out gets the job done well.

I don't think it's cheesy at all, it does have this commercial feeling to it though.
The frequency spectrum is nicely filled (is that how you say it??) and the sounds are designed really great.
The only thing i say could use some change is @ 03:47, the voice before the drop kinda removes the flow for me.
Further on really nice one!
