Its preeettty cool up to 0:34 seconds, and then, maybe its just me, but that bass line just sounds horrid - in the pejorative sense (you gotta say that these days or people probably think you're complementing them). There it is again at 1:02. Cut that shit right out. The bass at 1:30 is great though (maybe a bit loud) and actually fits with the rest of the shit. If you were aiming for liquid you've missed by about a thousand million miles. The build is a good try at being different, but it misfires really and then the drop is a bit of a dissapointment. The bit 2:32 is the best bit of the track for me, that bassline is actually quite good, though a bt monotonous. Beats aren't the best either.
Sorry but in general, the track just drags on a bit, theres absolutely no adrenaline, but as a second tune (I didn't hear your first) this shows good signs I think, and is pretty alright. Definately better than I was at that stage anyway.

Should have had more drums though....

haha lol .. that crap at 0.34 and 1.02 wasn't supposed to be in there ... sorry bout that Tongue ...

the drop is indeed a bit of a dissapointment ... maybe it will get a lot better if I put the bassline in there first, not that snare thingy ... dunno ...

more drums ... maybe ... don't guiet agree with that though Cool

the problem is the bassline is in a stero image, meaning it stands forward. where as everything else, is dead center and tight, no stero image
now, atmosphere usually is spread out the most, because it's got lots of reverb which usually is what helps give sound a good spread.


that's the problem, and the 0.34 sticks out, badly cuz of that.

regardless, it shows more that you need to make your atmosphere, SPREAD out. and fill in everything.

you're reece line is cool.

Drums lack a lot of power, and they sound like shit. Sounds like you got one of them lowfi rex loops that come with Reason. Ditch it.

The distorted string is ok, I guess.

Bassline sounds cool, but it doesn't have any bass

Ah, second drumloop is a lot better!

Once the second drumloop comes in, the track gets a lot better, but it's still nothing near great.

2/5 for the track
1.75/5 for the sound
