Quite a lot of compression on the drums, you can clearly hear the pumpin of the hats: not good, turn it down a bit.
Hats are nice and crips but lack some body imo, layer them with some phatter sounding hats too.
Kick kicks nicely though.
Don't really like the echo or delay on teh whole drums part though.

Sub is nice and warm.

Vocals sound like you just threw them in here and there to add some variation, but they're not used very constructively imo.

Pitching up hoover is quite nice, but try introducing it better.

Your sub varies in volume a bit too during the track, sometimes overpowering the rest.

The overcompressing is very hearable throughout the whole track, so you'll have to work on that.

Sorry, but I can't call this a good track. The structure isn't very thought out, there's no real buildup or anything like that, you just alternate between sounds a bit, but that doesn't give the track a story...
And your sound needs work... and less compression

1.5/5

ya i compress every sound i get into, what would you recommend. just compress the bass , the lead synths and drums? i liked the delay reverb on the drums, i'll keep that shit. i make tunes off the top of my head, fitting sounds in that work. i cant really stand to hold the tune to one thing. i make sure the tune progresses along the way. call me a IDM DNB head, but i cant stand for the monotony of DNB track layouts. on the floor its one thing, at home or in the car its another.

Yeah, I see what you mean, and I hear that in your tracks... so it's just a matter of what you're trying to accomplish... And I'm more of a straight DnB head, so that's why I comment in that direction... Sorry if I sound to harsh by doing that.

a little soft for my taste.....but I love that vocal samp you use. that rhodes is nice, the beat is relaxed......but where's the bass? good production skillz though....always have respect for the fellow producer

some questions.....what are "imo" and "idm"? i see them used all the time.....i just have no clue what they mean
