likes - very fuckin steppy, the lead is hot fire(i like the lfo action on that.....i mean i guess that's what it is i'm new to production), sub bass tone

dislikes - the drum kit, maybe a harder snare would help out or maybe if it weren't such a high pitched snare.

i give it a B+

Snare's a bit disapointing
bassline is cool , a lot of changing ,could use a boost
drumnrolls ->work on it , use some (more) layers

you are right - I fiddled the rate/ammount of the lfo on the filter

It creeped on me when I got it done,, the other samples are maybe too agressive for such soft drums. as for the snare, I know I made a mistake cos I programed the drums 1st it is maybe overpitched

intro is kinda sketchy with the volume shifts on the lead, kinda throws the rhythm off. kinda annoying there, you're not really sure what the tune's gonna be.
cool vocal fx.
bass seems well balanced with everything.
the drum kit sounds like it has too much of something eq-wise, but i'm not gonna get too indepth cuz i'm afraid i'll get to the point where i don't know what i'm talking about.
not liking the way you just drop out everything and bring it back in and drop it out around 2:40. don't keep takin the kick drum out.
the resonant pinging fx kind of hurts my ears.
throughout this track i can tell you have potential, but the sound quality is off and drop is sorta weird. oh oops i just read this is one of your old favorites? perhaps you know how to make ur songs sound better now Big Grin
well anyway, 3/5, keep it up!

weird intro....dont really know how you droped those drums...it was weird...cool melody...about 1:30 in...mellody has some cool effects on it and stuff...building some minor tension...and the rest goes on...

Good
-cool melody
-steppy idea
-decent sound

bad
-quite boring...the track doesnt conform to a real track thatd be out ther eon vinyl...theres not real build up....drop...build up...and rop...outro thing...
-nothing changes much...all teh same elements with good variations on teh synths and what not...
-bass doesnt do much...

3.5/sound
2.5/5 track

great idea...but work on the track quite a bit more...this could be a good one for sure imo Tongue keep it up! Bigup

Buildup in the intro is quite nice! Slowly builds and builds...

Drop: snare sounds really thin man, layer with a more punchy one! Lacking a bit of bass too, that wasp isn't enough. It sounds a bit empty and lifeless as it is...

Gets a bit repetetive since you keep using the same elements the whole time. Try adding a bit more stuff!

Has nice ideas, but needs more work to be great...

Ok so thee good staff isthat i like the intro
I also liked the basseline and the plays with the drums.
I also liked the idea
Didn`t like the sawtooth and the "ah" sound thatcames in backround.
Didn`t liked the scretches
It`s somehow monotone and lacs of power needs to be some more rolling and more powerfull.
The outro isn`t good it cames sudenly.
But i liked the idea so if I rate it from 1-10 i would giveit 7.5

thanx all for reviewin Bigup

I will be changing:

the entire rhythm section maybe keep the hihats n percussions ?,
will make some more powerful breaks
layer the "wasp" (lol@ who said that Big Grin ) to make it more punchy
put some more effort for the subbass sound sequence
cant think of anything else right now

@paki: I didnt put scratches at all. Confused maybe thelfo sounds like that? check again plz.

more ideas welcome!
