Nice track sounds bad ass!
The sytnh in the intro could use some more volume or even some more disortion. When your reece isnt playing the drums dominate the mix too much. You can increase the volume of the other sounds a litlle when your reece isnt playing, or just reduce the overall level of your drums. At 2.28 theres a little 'clip' on your cymbals, maybe it was your intention, but is sounded a bit like it didnt belong there (it's no huge problem, it just bothered me a little
). The synth that comes in at +- 4 min sounds wicked altough a bit glitchy sometimes!
The track sounds very nice, feeling is right etc, the mixdown only needs some more work. Nice one!
i like the guitar like sound in the intro, snare is puchy and raw, kick needs a lot more kick to it i feel, especially for this kind of track. Main reese line is nice and grimy, but the sub over powers it in places. The actual melody reminds me a lot of a Calyx and Teebee tune called Confession (which is a fucking awesome tune!). like the breakdown too but the second drop could use some work, needs to make more of an impact IMO. Great track mate, keep it up and get it finished.
mixed feelings about the intro. when the beats start they were too loud. the pad though is excelent with a lot movement, maybe a little harsh, too distorted
drops: kick is really thin, snare too high end, not keen on the sound choices for hats and the crash. I really like what youre doing with that lead, that thing has a lot of potential. needs more bass but the vibe is almost done
lol, you overdo things later on with that nasty pitching
needs more work but this defo has huge potential!! deserves an overhaul. get at me if youre willing to let me remixorize it.
Nice atmosphere! Generally okay track, but didnt grab me by the balls. Reece is sweet as fuck, spot on dude. Nice filter modulation. I think it could do with something more though, maybe some bussed sidechain filters or a modulated distortion effect.
Okay here come the drums - sounds used are sweet! The mix needs alot of work though. That snare is waaaay too loud. Try increasing its attack and dropping it back in the mix. Hats could be more precise, they feel abit lost in there. Same situation with the kick. The beat doesnt feel as syncopated as some neuro does. I reckon with a better mix the drums would sound sick dude. Get some drum bus compression in there!
Could do with more fills, esp compared to stuff thats out atm. It feels a bit repetitive. The middle 8 section feels out of place, the energy doesnt jump up for it. Get some more breaks in there and chop them up! There's not much variation between the build up and the drop in, so the energy kind of stays the same. Use effects on the build and switch them off to increase the energy.
The core song idea is sorted, as is the sound selection and synthesis! Just need to work on your mixdown techniques, and how to create change between buildup and drop in. Hope that helps
