Volume is really low. (or the previous track was really loud, and I turned the volume down).
First of all: please encode at a higher bitrate (at least 12
. 64 kbps is really low!
Intro: cool flute (or whatever it is
) nice melody.
Drums kicking in: really low volume, except the snare. The hi-hats are really hard to hear, and the ghosts could be a little louder.
1:20 vocals (copyright thingy??? a bit weird...)
Bass coming in: really nice bassline, I love it.
Besides the fact that your drums need a boost, they are also pretty repetitive, especially when you hear the snare louder then everything else (2-step snare is boring).
Scratching is really well-done! (around 2:40) I like it
4:16 Wow, coincidence does exist!!! At the fade-out of the drums, when the break started I was thinking: it would be so cool if a fat amen-break would kick in after the break (break was nice btw
) ) And yes, an amen appears at 4:16, unbelievable
Some nice variations on the amen, but in my imagination it sounded better. Well, must be the low sound quality
hehe
Outro is nice too.
You know, this could be such a killer track, but Im not going to rate this (yet) because of the watermark
(the irritating vocal, remove that!!) and the low sound-quality.
Lenght was good for a DnB track.
Please please please repost this at a higher bitrate!!
Im begging you! (i dont do that so often, so..
)

Ya - intro is too quiet. Nice earthy sounding drums - did you program those? They sit very nicely in the mix - you could bring the sounds way up and they wouldn't interfere. Great dark notes being played at 1:35 - maybe some slight overlapping of notes. Sub is deep but could have more punch instead of just rumbling along. Scratching was quality and didn't stand out too much (remember hype, ugh!) Like the vocal sample - not the watermark though. When the amen comes in at 4:15 it doesn't go well with the snare of the other beat. Put reverb on one or the other at this point or just stop using the intro snare. Unique cutting of the amen however. The sound quality is a bit light overall but some good dark evil amen shit here - this should definitely be reworked -it also sounds like you've used a crappy MP3 converter. Even though that beat comes back in at 5:55 and continues till the end - it is very catchy and can seem to go on and on without getting annoying.

i gotta fucking headach, so i am happy, glad, and joyus that it was quiet.
the lack of bitrate didn't matter much. it sounded good with good structure. the drums hwere just too damn loud in comparasion. when you faded them at 3:25, they where perfect.
that amen break at 4:16 never flowed well. it felt constipated.
oh and that fucking watermark. if i were to rip off a song.... this would not have been it.
besides, if somebody rips off yoursong. you can prove you made it with all the files, and then you sue them for money, they did all the hard work of making it and you get all the money for it. see.... getting ripped off is a good thing!

cool stuff m8,
i especially like everything that comes after the amen break at 4:13. did you record the scratching yourself? if so, RESPECT!
the entire track could use some more sub bass, but maybe this got caught up in the low bitrate.
great work!!!

Awtch, 64kbps
Hard to judge on the sound that way!
Volume is really low, next time normalize and limit your mixdown please
Quite dark, which is nice.
The fadeout followed by the fade in isn't very imaginative, now is it? Try making this transition more intresting.
Quite nice bassline coming in anyway
Drop: quite nice. Bass has enough sub, but not enough bass. Drums are quite nice too. But the snares are a bit loud maybe. Try boosting the ghosts a bit too.
Ah, nice touch bringing in the amen. But it's a bit too loud.
Not bad, but it could be more intresting. Try building in more tention. Some extra sounds and pads would be welcome too.
2.5/5 for the track
