Please check out my new track 'She Aint A Dj By Her Jade Eyes' and post your comments here!
Kay, so i made this a while ago, its very mellow liquid drum n bass, bit of a rolling bassline, im fairly happy with the track, what i would like to know is, what areas would you change if you were to do a VIP, bcause i have a few ideas to VIP it with such as halving the timing of the bassline and changing out the trumpet sound for something else but i think a few more areas might need changing.
Thanks alot,

love that guitar, but could do without the trumpet. Not a fan of the sample - sounds kinda fake / synthy to me. but could be that its a bit loud in the mix too. lovin your bass the portamento is cool! Could use a bit more break edits to make it a bit more exciting. I do like the high-passed drum fill but used every time gets a bit too repetitive for me.
Cool that you're already thinkin of a VIP. If i were to tackle a remix of this, I'd get rid of the trumpet, bring that guitar in a little more, play with the timing of the bass & maybe even change it up by gettin rid of the portamento & making it sound more choppy / bangin like with an 808 kick bass type feel. Also, I'd work on the break to change it up some. All in all, tho, a nice & smooth tune. Big up!
Good intro & buildup.
Guitar is excellent. Piano also. Very smooth.
Well-timed chill @ 02.10, could easily last a little longer
Trumpet is not really disturbing, sounds ok especially liked it @ 01.40, nice moment there
Bass is a bit annoying sometimes, should have some pauzes in it
Flawless work on the crash cymbal.
Like the hihats, they're good... but they could use a little more work to make them great
Nice track overall. Enjoyed listening to it

really like the intro-guitar, its a little too loud though, im not really in love with the breaks until 1.31, some nice sounds & melodies in there (though i miss the intro-guitar a little in the verse), very interesting track, huge potential in this one!! thumbs up!
Very dreamy, but good melodies...
Somehow the drums seem to move a bit seperately.
Weak kickdrum (can hardly hear it).
The whole thing is a bit too floating for my taste. I would have loved a stronger bassline but that's taste.

The beginning filter in the song made me feel like "Been there done that" but the long oscillating bass(for lack of a better phrase) redeemed it. It feels like its lacking something to go along with that lead guitar sound. The punch in the kicks are also lacking oomph. The brass falls flat but does not sound bad. I enjoyed the special snare rolls and the ambient pad. Overall this song is not bad but it is not a song that meshes together in a great way, not that it clashes.
-Guitar can go down slightly
-Add some slight verb or delay to the trumpet to make it blend in a bit more, also add a little more highs to it or a string or flute that is filtered with reverb and delay to blend the trumpet
-the filtered drum edit gets a little anoying
-The long oscillating bass is alright
Super Ill. A total chilled out roller.I really got nothing bad to say about it. Would make an awesome intro or outro to a mix. I think the drums work good with it. Like All the chileld out John B B-sides (Take Control or Diversify.)
Thanks for all the reviews everyone.
getting mixed vibes overall, however so far my plan is:
fuck off the trumpet, 90% of people dont like it, it doesnt fit the rest of the song. replace it with a guitar playing the same notes
more power in the kick drum, lower the level of the hats slightly and eq out some of the frequencies that give me a headache when i listen too long and changing up the drum pattern
changing up some bass lines
swap the lead synth for a highly detuned reece similar to Robocop by Friction & Nu Balance
U have made nice slide up bass. Nice variations on ur drums. Maybe add another harder snare and kick. Some low hats too. Also i like that few guitar notes at the begin and after that, do you played it? Nice fx. Faster than usual. I think more than 178 bpm or something close. Most interesting for me is the bass, sound very good. Big ups!
