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

A tune I'm working on. Needs some eq work but it's pretty solid so far. Any suggestions are welcome.

Nice work, everyhting seems pretty well mixed apart from 1 or 2 niggles.

if i were you id bring the lead part down in the mix, and bring the bassline up, its alot more driving than the lead part which gets a bit tiresome after about 2 miniutes of it, maybe try part of the verse without it completely

2nd personally i would have the fills in the break slightly quieter as they are almost as loud as the main snare and hence distract from it.

also i think the main snare could be a bit punchier with a multiband compressor to bring up the high and the low end, or maybe layer it with another.

i especially like the 2nd drop with the hoover

overall good track, structually sound and good use of effects with a pretty catch bassline

Kemal & Rob Data in the 90's revisited!
Too much forced stereo going on, cut back on it. Stereo should be there to get your sounds to be alive, not all over the place. Use it subtle.
In the drop there's too much going on which causes things to clash, I would leave out the pads to create some space.
Could use a tad more sub.
Not a bad tune.

intro sounds interesting, on my system it sounds bit muddy after the drop like the sounds fight for space in the mix (kick&snare also sound a bit swallowed in this part), much much better at 2.12, now the drums have power too (though i think i would still turn up kick&snare a little + add some more breaks in there at some points), interesting turn at 4mins, nice track!, could be great with some more work on the mixdown imo, cheers

edit: i was listening to the version you first uploaded to .be Wink

Like the rhythmic sounds - they work well with the beat you have chosen. The drop has a nice dark vibe to it. Good work.
