nice intro.. to the point..

the drum beat is real catchy. the synth is a little spacey for my own taste. the bass break is real sweeet. the drum break down going to that heavy bassline is reall niiiiice... Bigup

i gotta ask what kinda setup are using cause this piece is pretty good. ....

I use logic 6 pro. It comes with lots of juicey synths and esx24 sampler. I also use a synth called Albino 2, and I've got temperary access to a virus synth (hardware). It kick's ass. My sound card is an m-audio firewire 410 and my computer is a G5 mac. That covers it.

thanks for the review,

Intro is a bit spacey indeed, but it's quite allright.

Drums seem quite nice, but need a boost and a tad more punch. I don't really like your ghostsnares though. I'm not sure if you even need them for this track, but if you want to keep them, make them shorter.

Bassline is quite nice, but give it a bit less mid, coz it's fighting with that trancey lead for the same frequency range...

The wobbly bassline sounds good man.

Not a bad track, but at times too stuffed with sounds in the same frequency range. Maybe make those dreamy pads an octave higher to solve part of that problem. And give your drums a boost.

2.5/5

A ghostsnare is a shorter, softer snare hit between the 2 main snares. It's moslty used to make a breakbeat roll.

Starts a bit immediately. Beats are a bit in the back specificly snare and bass drum. maybe start of with less sounds and let it build more. nice variations in the beats and basses. they need some Eq or levelling. its all a bit mushed together. The sounds U use are ok but theres just too much.
If you start of lighter in beats and atmo. you'ld have nice construction to a climax. now you got a lot of sounds throwen in a bucket and skaked with it. be more selective. then go for a clean master.
2,5/5

cheers
