Please check out my new track 'Brawler [wip]' and post your comments here!
Preview of something I've been working on. Happy with the intro, not at ALL with the main riff.
Not able to work too much on it these days, school n stuff. 
But yeah, I think I am getting somewhere with my neuro bass, finally.

Very nice intro. Nice growling bass
Didn't expect that melodic part to come in, but it works fine.
Drop: kind of an anti climax. The bassline lacks some sub and doesn't have the power or drive it did earlier. Drums are fine, but redo the whole bassline here.

The main riff sounds thin, needs sub and a but more strength in the lo-mids.
Don't like the halfstep drums too much in the intro.

Right about the main riff.
I think the intro is pretty good tho, I'm happy with it

Really like the intro. I think the half step drums add to the build up. The atmosphere that builds up is really entrancing. I liek the build up to the drop but as you said the drop kind of sucks but thats only because it needs more. I would layer that main synth with something an octave lower doing the same thing. I'm a sucker for amens or any shuffley put so highpassing one and throwing it under the beat would help it move along nicely. Add some rides in there either sidechained with the kick or just don't put them with the kicks are. alternate between closed hats and open ones. It's definately in the right direction and could be huge.

The mellody reminds me of the opening scene in Gladiator, kinda earrie. Kick can use some gate compression to make it harder and sharper (exp in the intro). Drumz in the intro can use some sounds and identity. Add some short FX short sounds and use them like drum percussion to push the drumz forward. An artist that does this very well is "Krusha" in his track "Room 101" the drum patterns and sounds he uses paint a picture and lure you in for a bite. The drumz in the drop could also use more sounds as well. I wish you the best in the progress of this track. Laterz Cheers.

The melody is actually reversed "Am I Not Merciful" from Gladiator, with a bit of timestretching and stuff. I am surprised.

I like the movie and think it has good sound. We also "dub a lot!"

i like the intro because of the instruments, but the drums arent going in my head, i would work on the kick and especially on the snare,
drop comes very surprising.. the bassline is ok and here fit the durms much better

There are many opinions I see. I don't know if you heard of Xilent, hes pretty big right now. He told me the snare was very well mastered, and I should keep it as a preset.
Thanks for your feedback, much apreciated!

Not enough happening for me I'm afraid, you need to find time! You sound like you've got the right ideas, just put them down more often. Deffo has potential from the intro, work on your percussion.
