intro : needs more effex to reach climax
drop : just boost that bass & work on those drums ( snare doesn't fit with hats)
2nd drop : nice bass but needs to be more clean , melody = ok , voices--> at the same level (velocity)
outro:...there ain't no !? --> fade it out
+: there's a lot of variation (different sounds , melody,...)
-: but it all has to be masterd ( compressing , filtering , ...)

more intro!!!!!!!!!!
anyways. those snares need to be fixed. there is something about them that doesn't sound right. Those are some cool vocals. where did you get them. And the synth is really cool. just need some more bass. i am really liking this song. Just needs some more tweaking for a final version. very good job with one.

I got those female vocals off a royalty free place .... no idea where lol!!!I had it book marked ... on my dead hard-drive 
Any other vocals I made.... cheers for the positive m8.... yer lol if I wana rework this tune im gonna have to make a kinda remix myself lol.....its going to be very very challenging....I agree with you about everything....I had FX and tweaks for my intro but my hd broke before I put them in...cheers for point out about that snare didn't notice that.... was going to put more drum variations in aswell .... and as far as mastering go's im abit of a newbie lol im 15 and ive only been producing for like a year and its been cubase all the way.
Does anyone have any advice for me on the frequency of drums and synths....i.e. I need some understanding of how to stop frequency clashing and make sure any of my patches don't take over to much....
Cheers and respect

Just to make this even more clear lol... the reason there is no mix out and the reason why I titled the song a preview is because my studio broke a few days after I had produced this version and the raw files were completly unbacked up so I lost everything!!..lol.So don't be to harsh or I might just break into tears
Lol Respect and SHIT HAPPENS!!!(To some more than others)

Intro with the pitching up isn't bad, but I've heard more intresting intros 
Drums: quite punchy and snappy snare. Nice. Kick drowns a bit in the mix though, work on that.
Vocoded vocal is cool!
The C&C like vocals are less cool. Are they from C&C? Anyway, the soundquality isn't great and they sound too dry. And too C&C like.
Drop: cool buzzing bassline/lead. Seems a bit loud in the mix though. Give it a bit more bass and less mid. Melody is quite catchy, which is good offcourse.
Gets a bit repetetive after a while though.
Breakdowns are a bit too quitet, boost them pads a bit.
Quite nice jump-up track, with some issues...

Thanks very much for the review Surya....wish more people could review as clearly as you do....very helpful!....and by the way the samples are not actually from C&C I agree they are very similar, but i wouldn't use them because they're copyright. I just found the ones i used on a royalty free site a while back. I would give you the website address but I lost that along with the rest of everthing else on my computer......I'm just getting my studio back online at the moment...1 hell of a job!
Respect

good tune nice melodies and structure, the tune is interesting and does it with a bad vibe, production lets it down the drums need 2 b phater, all sound s need eq and compression, the mix could do with more work 2,

wow man, 4/9 posts are yours.. looks like you felt like reviewing your own track lol
Let's see.. what do we have here. downloading..
mmm kinda.. intro.. eghh.. errrrm.. not really sure about that..
drums coming in.. alright.. what synth have you used? copper? silver? probably somethin' different, but it sounds like copper..
anyway.. kinda empty feeling.. you'll need to add more stuff.. Like surya tells me. (he does it all the time.. don't worry surya, I'm workin' on it)
back to your track. other bass.. hmm perhaps you should drop that flanger-effect.. alrighty next part of the song.. I have a feeling that this one is better then the first part.. The voices are way too lowfi..
now the flanger effect sounds good... oyea back to normal voices.. sounds better..
wow what have you done with that ending.. start fade|cut

"wow what have you done with that ending.. start fade|cut "
Rude, thanks for the review for everthing other than that! The reason I've done 4 posts is because no one is FUCKING READING THEM before you say stuff read the dam posts because everyone else has said that and i've already explained that I lost the Cubase files etc....anywayz il chill now.... no i didn't use the copper... I used the hydra
Yer i know about the problem with the voices, but i need some help on how to get the frequencies of differnt things right, as in that area im a complete newbe... I mean i try it myself but it just ends up fuking up my mix even more.lol!
Cheers

heres the review (totally forgot, sorry)
quite a psychodellic intro..
Id put a different snare, something darker to fit in but everyone has already told you that.
also lacks fx, variations on drums, synths, to keep it away from droning, but since its only a working version its not a big flaw. the pitch bending idea in the intro could be used elsewhere in the track imo
I agree with everything said about vocals use.
good ideas but nothing new
