Please check out my new track 'Aquatic (final)' and post your comments here!!!


Allright, after all I decided that I would make a version with louder drums, they were too soft.
I guess i paid too little attention to it, and too much to the other sounds.
I really had fun making this song, and that's what's really important, right?
okay, enough bullshit, just tell me what you think :)

Edit: I feel so stupid... The bassdrum is a little too loud, and the hiphop-snare at the beginning is bad too :O

I cant do anything right :cry:

Nice intro.

Good drums, but they can use a bit more punch.

Not too fond of the piano that kicks in.

Good sub.

Nice melodies and sounds. Didn't expect that when the track started. Good work.

Quite nice, but it kinda misses a more outspoken bassline imo. Good efford though.

3/5

yes nice intro but the snare could use more body and the break that leads in is way too quiet. try uping the volume and throwin a notch filter on it to keep it back. very chill vibe, i like the dub guitar action. very nice placement of the synths aswell. seems like the bass drum you have layered could use a bit more attack or add some some light drive on it, just seems i little too soft.
all that aside you did a great job on this tune.
good work. Bigup

intro has some nice sounds but not enough. indeed, the snare in the hip hop beat sounds cheesy, but the d'n'b beat sounds nice, perhaps a bit too quiet though. really nice work with the melody.

good song. work on the mix down. Bigup

very cool intro, the construction everything. tried to find the earlier version to hear some changes but didnt find it no more, mmmmm! the sounds basses and atmo's are wicked x10. but the beats need something. indeed more punch and boost especially the snare maybe a slight of dist.!!! i love the melodys and chords. makes me dream about being on some far away planet where everything is fluid. hehe!! pitty bout the snare. it realy disturbs for me!
3,5/5

cheers mate

Yeah, I tried to make the beat a bit louder, but Im still working on it. so this is not really the final version.
I will post a new version (the real final Big Grin ) when I finished the mixing and stuff (basicly when I feel it's really done Smile ), but im pretty busy, so dont expect to see it like tomorrow.

great intro imagining it being played in a club, the intro would be great for people too catch their breaths, probably played by a more adventrous dj than most.

okay you've got a good composition here the piano does take away some darkness,
the dnb break sounds good very lively and shuffly but please raise the volume of it

like the ts404 or wot ever it is
wot did u make this in??

need to control the distortion on the build-ups n bass line at the same time
i like all styles so i can dig this track, more oa mellow b-side

good stuffffff
2/5
isay 2/5 purley cos the volume of the beat, (not snare, beat)

Im thinking about replacing, or even deleting the piano, since a lot of you say that it doesnt really fit the track. But on the other hand, there was somebody who liked it. would it be a good idea??

Well,
I think this one is quite ok. Very clear, nice “summer taste“ but lack basses, specially in the middle (2:33) where with a plastic-hard bass this track should be perfect.

However, it's cool, so cool that I would make a remix...
