I didnt get the intro at all...what was it there for? OK, nevermind...there are 3 (maybe more) samples in this track and none of them is well timestretched. This results in a little pause at the end of each 8 bars (16, nevermind). There is no structure at all in this track. Just samples playing all over again. My advice for you is to focus on structure of your tracks, cos even the previous ones you posted had really poor structure. Then learn how to timestretch samples so they fit with the tempo. In FL you can easily check that in playlist section, if you put the samples to the lower part of the window. You should see the sample's spectrum and check if the kick/snare lies right on the beginning of each bar. Anyway, there is loads of guides on dotbe, just search.

mate im really not sure about this track, the samples are coming in all over the place. i dont want to sound harsh but its not been well put together at all. the samples just bang in from nowhere. Also i think you need to disguise the fact that you're using a sampled loop from the BHK pack, maybe high pass it and layer some other hits over the top. the hi hat you have layered half way through is not in time with the rest of the beat and stands out too much.
needs a lot of work. sorry mate.

the two samples sections at the beginning are way out of place. But the pad u made out of them is pretty cool. Idea is very cool with the atmosphere. You gotta reverb and envelope yer samples to get them stretched out and conjoined. Needs a lot more going on apart from just the drums and little pad thing. Tamb is bizarrly timed (IMO). Cool little bass line/vibe. Had some real potential but needs work. Keep your workflow organized. Mix isnt bad

Like the other said, it needs a lot of work, nothing fits, just sounds like a few out of time loops.

Sorry Happy

Also mate, how about reviewing some other peoples tracks. I noticed that you have uploaded 6 track so far and only made 13 posts. 5 of those would of been for producers rights, take away 6 posts for your uploads, which leaves 2 posts possibly for reviews ... That does really suck balls big time Huh

Wow... it's looped its self at least like 4 times at the time i'm writing this, and i had no clue. That just shows how little structure it has. I feel like you probably just slapped like 4 loops together, especially because they aren't timestreched or snapped to the beat at all. Figure that stuff out before you try and make a full song and you'll notice a huge improvement man. Also work on making your own sounds and chopping up breaks/using single hit samples to make your own beat. You have a lot more flexibility that way and can make each beat sound like your own. think, watch some videos, get some advice and get working man! Drummer
