Please check out my new track 'Vajra' and post your comments here!
A Drum & Bass track I have been working on the past week on and off. PLEASE any feedback on arrangement, flow, mixing, vibe anything and everything your fresh ears can hear. Thanks a million .be heads!
Really like this. Neuro drumstep. Good structure, no doubt about that, and good sterio image and mastering. Only things i can point out is a little bit too much high end on the snare for my liking which feels to me to be making it loose its impact. Try a nice deep 'pendulum' type low end snare and see how it sounds? The other thing is that although the intro is magical, the meat of the track seems to loose energy and goes a bit flat. Maybe because that neuro bass is a little thin? give it some more meat and youve somethin really special there.
Intro is nice, liking the middle eastern vibe going on, fits really well.
Drop is good too, got a nice half step bouncy feel to it but would say that the snare has too much top end to it round the 8k region sounds too esssy to me.
The arp that comes in im not feeling personally but thats personal taste.
Needs to pick up into a rolling banger 16 bars after the drop and add more mid range bass parts(thats what i would try anyway)
The drop surprised me by being so understated. Missing some nice sub here to make it sound full and warm.
Maybe add a bit of punch to the snare too, now it sounds more like a bit of ADSRed white noise.
Good track, but needs some work.

By understated to do mean across the frequency range as in missing that warmth in the mix, or arrangement wise in sequencing and programming?
Will definitely get that snare cracking hard and try to get some sub in there...don't know how though maybe just try mixing it different...Any help with that would also help a lot.
this intro really is great, nice ethnic vibes. then in comes the filtered reece, really nice, but for me id love to hear it really drop, too much chop and lfo going on, i think you need to get to the point and smash people up when the drop happens.
