Please check out my new track 'The Frost' and post your comments here!


Hey guys, thanks for taking the time out to check out my song.

I've hit sort of a writers block and I am having trouble fleshing the track out, making it better and improving the structure. So any comments would be very helpful!

Made with FL8XXL, thanks again!

Sounds very rock oriented, especially the long bass notes. This isn't dancefloor material in its current form.
I would like it if you would make the bass a bit more "alive" by adding some filtering action.
The tune in it's current form tends to be somewhat repetitive.

like the hi-hats

sound very natural

oooo that beat is pretty meaty. nice tone and punch

are you using addictive drummer?

Drop works pretty well. reckon it would sound good if you dropped the bass if only for a tiny bit. Would give a better perceived impact once dropped imo.

Like the high synth, sounds pretty good and the melody is nice too.

Not much to add really than ......Get it finished! Big Grin

Nice intro. Nice full beat. Bass could be boosted in the lows and a bit louder. Liking it so far. Interesting stuff. Keep it up!

like the synth sounds pretty fresh, drums are nice too, intro builds tension well. maybe add some spacey effects with delay on em (just personal taste) i'd make the hats a little crisper so they stand out from the splashy high end. maybe get an automated notch filter on that bassline too to add some more movement, nice start though mate keep it going

Thank you guys so much for the input! Drummer

It's very helpful, it's given me a lot of insight into the state of the track and how it can be improved and I'm already working on finishing it!

And yes indeed, I am using Addictive Drums. This whole song started out as me just playing around with what Addictive Drums can do, infact the project file is named ADTest.flp Big Grin

VERY powerful, dynamic plug-in that I would recommend to anyone.

Anyways, thanks, fuck yeah you guys rock! Drummer

the bass sounds too loud. or like too much mid in it, teh drums are pretty nice, i dont perticularly like the melodie or the whole style. but i think you executed it pretty nicely, the whole progression could have been better. but overall, nice tune

Wow, this is brilliant. The bassline definitely reminds me of Dead Prez's tune Hip Hop. Can't really say anything that hasn't already been said. Just wanted to let you know that I'm loving this. Big Grin

Wow, it does sound like some sort of metal track.

Nice melodies in the intro. No complaints.

Maybe bring the drums a bit more forward.

Very nice Happy

Pad in intro is alright. Like the pree-drop intro, drumz are nice, maybe work on the 1:05 to 1:12 part and add some tension before adding the DnB spead up drumz. Hope this helps ya. Cheers brutha. Z
