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

I uploaded this to my soundcloud the other day and posted the link but i'm doing a proper upload here as well. The bass seems a slight bit out of tune with the guitar and I think it needs some slight pads but I figured i'd let you folks have a listen and see what you think.

Not bad, with a little work this could be an ok tune... check out tryptechs tunes as they reside in the same corner of dnb.

Nice nice drums. Good buildup. Not really feeling the melody coming in at 0:40. Maybe it could work with a less prominent place in the mix, remove some mids or hipass it. Bass kicking in is absolutely lovely. 02:10 Not sure about that part, the notes don't quite fit. Nice congas coming in.

you've got some nice sounds but your melodies need some work IMO. Drums are good, if a bit overcompressed/flat, they roll nicely. Bass is good. The mix is a bit crowded, try peeling away some frequencies on the various tracks with hipass and lopass filters, that would probably do much for this one.

Ez matt.
Writing as i listen.

sounds like your hats/hi end has some psuedo panning issues at the start.. or this is intentional?

Like the guitar lick as it comes in..
Yeah nice melody Smile

Oh. the bass is WAaaaay too deep and subby... its rumbling like hell too.

Try trimming your sub from 85>36hz
Then add a low bass that covers 150>85hz.
That will help give it clarity. And help you hear it so you can fix the tuning. Smile

Yup the bass tuning does sound off against the higher melodies.

Drop at 2:10 the bass works much better.. higher notes masking the eq problems..
The stabby melody is ok, if a little repetitive..
Guitar is very fluffy and summery wheras your bass and stabby synth are pretty dark imo.

Not a bad tune, just has a few minor issues that are fixable Smile
Looking forward to your next thing!

Like the beat - snare is a little thin, but the kick-snare vibe gives the tune the energy it needs. Like the percussion that comes in around :48. I always like to hear picked guitar in dnb. The sub should be in F sharp or at least revolve around F sharp. Good sounds used. The other mid bass sound that comes in is tuned to the sub which currently is out of tune with the guitar. You may be trying to switch things up which is fine, it's just that it doens't sound right yet. Good luck.
