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

It's been a while since i've posted or commented on anything. I moved a few weeks ago from Boston to Portland, Or. so everything's been chaotic. Anywho here's the beginings of a new tune. I think it's pretty solid.

Not my style, but well done! Rolls along nicely. A tad repetitive though.

Drums have strength, would maybe like to hear a couple of more elements in the intro, some fx and stuff maybe? I think the drop may also need a little more impact, maybe take the main synth/ bass line in a completely different direction to really trip the listener out and hit them hard. The whole track seems to follow the same synth pattern over and over, would love to hear a second drop, especially in a track that goes for 6 minutes. Production and mix balance is good.

Kudos.

like what u did with the drums in the beginning.
the piano could use some more umpf to it imo.
nice buildup towards drop.
love the sample u got running under there, really keep it flowing.
maybe to try a counter melodie, when that synth kicks in that plays along.
like the pitch down part, great job on that.
ecited to hear the end result of thisSmile
good job

"the beginings of a new tune" --> 6:39!!!
The drop sounds ok, but it's a bit of a jelly, with the melody following the bass.
Melodies aren't the kind that are entertaining enough to last 6:39.

Cut off atleast a minute (make that 90 seconds).
Pick some more unusual sounds.
Make the bass stand out (it's not called Drum'n Lead). Make a bassline that lasts 4 bars and add some variations This sounds like a pop rock band.

I really like this track a a lot man. Drums sound pretty solid, and everything sits pretty well. The spot where the reece in the first build pitches up sounds a little off, maybe work something there, maybe even try pitching it and the lfo speed down, kinda like on the second little break. The melody that kicks in gets a little monotonous, maybe put some sort of filter automation or something on it. Overall an excellent track though, can't wait to here the final.

ez matt.
feeling the dirty neuro sound @ 1:40 ..
breaks seem a little robotic though.

the bass is a quite low; and to be fair the tune is lacking variation and progression.

Like the reverse break @ 5:40 tho!
Stick with it and develop it! Smile

Intro can use a little developing. Maybe try to create a theme and use some sounds to paint a picture. Bass is alright. Like the drum patterns. Overall it's a decent song, just needs a theme/hook.
