Please check out my new track 'The Architect' and post your comments here!
Right, here is a little number I've been working on. I've only just started to try and produce a little, I spent most of my days playing it out, not making it. This track is in the very, very early stages, and I'm new to FL, I was just hoping for a little feedback, to find out whether it's worth finishing? As I said, this is all new to me, so PLEASE be kind!!!
P.s. If you do have a listen, there is a slight gap at the beginning, so please skip to 17 seconds where the track begins, cheers!!!

for a first track mate this aint bad at all its got a roni size snap shot feel to it big time some more layering on the snare could be needed part from that i think u pretty much nailed it. a lot of ppl join the site and say its there first song and u can tell in most case's but this is very listenable

Hey mate, thanks for the kind words, appreciate it, I was hoping you would have a listen and comment. So you think another snare might do the trick? I'll have a play around with it and see what I can do. You had any more thought about ya bass pack? I'm waiting with great anticipation, laters mate, thanks again.

is there some type of stereo effect on the snare? sounds too wide, get it in the middle and maybe try to find a layer that has a little more snap and a little more decay. hmmm, im not a fan of the drums fading out around 2:25, id try and work it as a break. There are some good drum variations in places, the bass is good but gets a little tiring, id change it up and also get some sub going on. For a first attempt though you have done a really good job, keep at it mate you will only improve.

Hey, thanks for the review and comments, appreciate it mate. Yea i agree with what you say, I am going to try and do something with the snare? Regarding the bass, it is a little repetative, but I don't think it spoils the tune and to be honest, there is not much I can do with it, but alter in a little maybe? Thanks again, going to start number 2 soon.

not a bad start and decent for a first post. few things i can say is that it could obviously benefit from some variation, sfx, and maybe a nice ambient pad or something. Also, the bass is okay but lacks that sub boom. Curious what would happen if u transposed it an octave or two lower every once in a while. Lastly, the drums are a little wide for my tastes, but to each their own. Good start tho. better than my first post, which was pure rubbish

Like Matty already said, quite a catchy tune!
Not something I'd do myself, but I'm digging the simplicity/minimal vibe.
Love the reverse 2 minutes into the track, the beats could use some kick to them though, feels as if the track misses its drop.
As a first track, very nice, mate! Looking forward to hearing more of you.

I can see what your getting at, so i wont say anything too soon. A few pointers though, it is definetely worth finishing! try using a different synth which has more of a growl, or even just try moving it down an octave tht might work. Also make use of the speech at the begining, an example would be using the womens 'touch me' us ethese samples as an instrument!! another thing i would reccomend is thinking about your drum track, its not bad at all, just try to be more simple and don't go mad with panning. One last thing, i noticed you change your drum track after the second drop...fair enough, its just your losing all that meatiness lol not really a word but add some heavy kicks it will work.
