I was just listening to your previous version and indeed, the whole tune has changed quite a lot.
I like the intro with the vocal sample, which is placed nicely in the stereo field.
Drums are ok, I think the kick is a bit too deep and interferes with your sub slightly. Also the shuffle could be improved.
The lead sounds quite cool but I’d modulate it more (less distortion and reverb, a bit equing and better placement in the mix as it stands out too much).
As soon as the bass comes in, the mix is getting a bit muffled and squashed. The hats are pretty much getting lost. I don’t know what directly causes the issue but it sounds to me as if you compressed too much and overused reverb that glues every element together. I’d leave some more headroom and dynamics for more liveliness.
The main part with lead and bass rocks.
You may use the vocal again for your outro to bring down the tune to a round figure if you want.
On the whole you should invest some more time. It’s not bad what you already have, just requires some more polishing.
i like this intro although something doesnt sound right, maybe a wrong key or something. the drop doesnt really seem to kick the track into top gear either but the second drop seems to do it some kind of justice. Also i think maybe that sub would sound better if it was tipping more towards a sine wave. That synth also sounds like its been low cut at too high of a frequency. Hope this helps. SAFE
intro really sets the mood, kick is big but too boomy, takin up a lot off space, try takin out some of the lower frequencies to let the sub breath as gregg mentioned (or just try to sidechain ur kick & sub that way u don't have to worry about the eq as much, tends to help when u have a kick that peaks real low)
love the prodigy like lead at 1:47
vibe wise i'm absolutely lovin this man, keep up the good work!
Sounds a lil too loud, lackin that clarity we're hearin nowadays in this genre. But apart from that, a truly good track, complimentary arrangement, with good breakdowns and buildups. Does seem a bit repetitive tho, needs a bigger hook, other than the 'prodigy-esque' loop. This track would probably be better as a dubstep or grime version, half tempo beats, would extend the audiences perception of when things shud be changin, then u wudnt have to change the arrangement so much..? Good effort tho son!
Nice Intro drw89, Like the vibe created with the vocal sample, Synthesizer that comes in after a minute sounds a bit generic for my liking, but it does fit the genre, levels generally are okay, and the mix sounds full and bright, and the lead is effective, melodically simplistic but sounds good. good work, the fills and rolls keep the song moving along without getting boring. Kick drum sounds nice and flabby and the snare cuts through the mix well.Subs sem fine to me too tbh,..good work drw89 keep it up!
