nice rollin track, beats are nice and simple but effective.

Its a track i would use to warm up a set, or a slightly deeper set

nice soundquality bitchass , cool intro , cool sounds

The drop must be more like a drop , imo ,
some sounds are louder then others (drums - like some end drums on a bar), or loose their velocity somehow (bass - possible layerd double sometimes),

Nice bassblendin' , drums are done nice but could use more high end or contain more layered rides and/or crashes on top.

structure aint my cup o tea , intro drop break drop2 , all seems the same somehow

and i would like to hear the endresult with some mastering on it

what equipment do u use again ( soft and hardware) and do u work with a Ozone Izotope plugin (can recommend this one)

Overall nice impression , u are not a noob Big Grin

cheers grey , agree on much of the things, didnt really have an idea for the intro or the soft down sequences to attentuate the drop, hence the structure is like that.

yeah, I use Izotope but this was still reason only the only boost being the Mclass maximizer, hence the ducking and level issues

ez man, cool synth action going on from the get go, wicked vibe u've created here, i would have preferred the kick to smack a bit harder (or just to be a bit more dominant in the mix) but thats imo

lots of edits, and i do like the broken up feel to it, got ur style on it Big Grin

overall i'd say the strongest part of the track is the variety of synth textures u have used, nice range here Bigup

Nice intro sound, just wish it would ring that bit loger so it fills out the silent part. I think the track really comes into itself around the 1:06 minute mark where sound is a bit less cluttered and everything sounds in place. I rekon i louder high hat would fill out the drum sound better too. Theres definately some good rolling sections in this tune.

im diggin the bass n synth sounds a lot. kick could use a boost. the drum variation is cool. breakdown needs a pad or somfin as well as leveling out some of those louder notes. cool track though

Yeah, not bad actually. Obviously, at this early stage, it still sounds a bit unfinished and rough around the edges. But there are enough good elements here to potentionally produce a good, solid tune. The bass sounds are great.

I do like the intro. For me, it's actually the best part of the tune. You manage to build-up the sounds very well.

After about 1.30 the tune looses some of the initial excitement. The intensity drops. Ideally, it needs to be upped a bit with a really solid bassline (easier said than done, of course). Also, and this is purely personal, the drop sounds a bit too trancy for me, especially with that high pitched synth. The melodies could be a bit more interesting and a bit more evil/edgy.

Beats are decent, although I think the kick is maybe a tad on the thin side. If the kick was heavier, it would definitely give this tune more drive and energy.

Overall, probably not your best tune but still pretty good. It has potential if you're willing to work on it.

Btw, before anyone makes any assumptions, this has nothing to do with me. I've only just voted and my scores were 5, 4, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 3, 4, 3.

Actually, I've just checked your vote analysis results and they look quite reasonable. There doesn't appear to be any hate-scoring going on. OK, someone has given you quite a few 2's but this seems to be balanced out by a few high scoring voters. You only have a few votes at the minute and this will cause the scores to fluctuate quite a bit. Eventually, it will balance itself out. Indeed, after applying my own votes, the score is now up to 77.9%. It's easy for me to say this because it's not my tune, but I wouldn't worry about it too much at this stage.

Even if someone gives you a line of 1s, these will be disgarded by the vote-score calculator and consequently they won't affect your overall score. (Isn't our Chron a clever boy. Big Grin )

DOnt quite feel the echoes in the begining. COuld be done better and more interesting imo. The beat is fine, dont likking the snare (personal taste). Good beat edits. Maybe they get chaotic in some times. The synths sound just too random. All sound too chaotic imo, dunno. Just seems like layered patterns of different synth lines which make some kind of sound "ball" if u know what I mean. I prefer more distinct sound where you can enjoy each instrument. This is rather random imo...has potencial though man, mix is perfect just try to make it more clear and obvious. But again, if that was your aim there is no point in overdoing it...just follow your style...Wink peace

as for the "low" voting: I thing its pretty acurate voting. I dont see any haters involved in this...Agree with Tomos

@wrm: random would be a comment I least expected, everything I did in this revolves around one melody. did you mean random as in off-key, or placement wise? or you think the synths dont "gel" that efectively? but if I bring the various synth sounds closer together they may sound as one bassline which Im gonna try to do

cheers for the review and to xevex Bigup

the crash cymbal sounds too low, perhaps try pitch shifting it up a semitone or 2. maybe you wanted it to sounds like that...
nice sounds on it. but sub bass sounds like it might need limiting, it doesnt seem to stay at a steady volume.

hmmm never thougth about the crash cymbal. I think its in C

the issue of levels, is a consequence of simple flattening th emix with the Mclass maximizer to boost volume. in the regular mix, there wont be so much maximizing, and ofcourse, the bass is yet to be compressed

cheers, any more takers?

lovin the stabs and the bass in the intro. drums sound cool too when it drops sounds good too but as you said it still early and the bass is uncompressed i think with a bit of tightening up this could be a great track like the high end sounds nice to me quite hard to get nice in reason imo probably does need more change ups too, good tune in the makin no doubt though Wink good stuff
