Please check out my new track 'Keep It Simple!' and post your comments here!

Here's my first attempt at a roller. I wanted to keep it as raw as possible but also give it a modern twist. Omnisphere was literally instrumental in making the majority of sounds in this tune, it's just too good to ignore. You really need to hear it in clear 24bit wav to really appreciate it, I hope you enjoy it!

PEACE.BE

Diggin the intro, this track feels like what I was tryin to do with my last one but I got on a crazy drum pattern that didn't really let the track flow like this one does. Drums are sittin well, might have gone a little more aggressive with some of the bass layers but they fit well with the tracks ambience. listening again and really like the hh and fill snare goin on the intro, the pitching up and down bass seems like it needs a little work, might be a tad heavy on the low end. Drums could use some different breaks to keep it interesting. Stereo is superb, mix and master are great, solid track man.

The filtered drums in the beginning gave me the impression that some instrument was damaged, when they became louder and clearer the problem was gone of course.
If this were my tune I'd go easy on the stereo mate, some of those basses are so wide that it takes out the power a bit. I'd also turn back the reverb a tad on those basses and pads. It sounds a bit weird with soaking wet pads, reverbing basses and relatively dry drums.
Tune sounds great though, maybe a bit of decoration here and there to keep things interesting for the full 6 minutes, but that's just about it.

intro is nice could maybe have some more fx-stuff goin on. after drop is just awesome, amazing sounds in there, liking! id maybe keep the drums more in a minimal-style (less breaks), but thats taste. snare could use some more crack imo, ride works well. bass is amazing, great track, rspct!

I like this! especially that pitch bend string mate nice touch!

I think maybe some of you mids are a bit too wide and would bring them more center, they loose power when spread too far, i would try automating them center on the initial attack of the sound and then spread them out toward the end of the phrases.

Rides im loving and drums are pretty tight too but i reckon could have more punch.

Good dark roller for sure, never disapointed when i listen to one of your tunes man.

Nice job.

Good. It's not 100% jump up but it made me happy. I really like the ... whatever some of those sounds are... I love DnB but I don't know what makes what sound. WOMP!

I'm always looking for new mixes (daily almost). If you have tunes and want feedback or just to get it out there, hit me up. I'm in Atlanta and night life is healthy here. I do promotional marketing stateside. Cheers.

Not quite sure what you meant but if you meant making the actual womp sound then just use a low pass filter on a square wave, that's probably the easiest way, I hope that helps?

Think I've already reviewed this - this must be the older version. This version sounds grimier IMO. Good idea.

quite a nice track has quite a dark and merky feel to it, i think the bass and synths ate quite sick, all round i think this is quite good, i think there could of been more variation within the track but that's just my opinion, i quite like the drum break as it goes nice with the bass. . any way keep up the work you have some exelent good skill. i think this would be the sort of track to blow your ears of out of a sub. keep it up i wanna hear some more bangers like this one.
