intro...dark indeed...sounds a lil lofi...drums are pretty quiet...

Drop: no power at all...drums still quiet...Not too fond of the bass or melody...sounds kind of video gamish....and again a lil lofi...

Little reece/hoover thing going on...cool sounds...amens drop...amens are nice...but again no power with the rest of the mix...

and the song ends on a short note...

Um cool ideas...dark indded...which is good..i like...but the song doesnt really go anywhere...

you should reall boost your sounds in the over all mix...as the rest of the durms and everything else are dead quiet compared to the rest of the song...I dont dentirely like the melodies behind it either...

Good idea...but could deff be taken a lot further...

Keep it up...

sorry...but this needs mucho work...(mixdown and structure)
3/10

Some angry voice samples would be a nice touch, Lovn the amen's, some filtering on your first main synth sound would work nice, just a little for it's a good hard sound. "peace" **EQUIPPED**Thank's for the ear candy!

Nice dark intro - sounds promising

High hats sound too repettative - try altering the velocity on different hits.

HI hats are way too quite too - the whole high end of the drums sounds really muted.

Bass sounds quite good at 1.50 - needs to build more though.

A-men is slightly too quite - not powerfull enough - volume is alternating this could be because of compression.

Bass needs to change into something different, either a different melody or a different sound the tune definitely has potential but it never really gets going. Maybe playing around with automation on the bass lines would be an idea. A second drop at the point where the tune ends would be cool, maybe into a more powerfull amen or into something else (firefight would go well), it definitely dosnt sound like it should end where it does.

Ok the intro is cool and dark...
The sawtooth is ok....
Interesting melody...
Ambiental sounds are ok pads also...
The drums at 2:30 are ok... but some more synth exept the sawbas wouldn`t harm....
Interesting variations of the beats....and filtering...
Maybe some more synth in the middle would sound better or some fx that comes on the background...
Overall good trac I would rate it 8.5 from 10

I like the intro - purcussion is clear and has good timing.

I have to agree with surora's point about the synth bass sounding like some sort of pc game song, try and get the synth bass to flow more, try and continue it. Although the bass has a bit of sub i think laying a matching sub bassline under the existing one might enhance it.

I'm not a fan of scatty beats i like the loops your using in the first half of the song. Turn the beats up a bit.

Ending is too sudden, break it down more.

Overall you've dedicated time to producing dnb, keep it up!

The snare from the ontro till the amen's, sounz a little soft. Frown Nice beat jugglin on the amen's, Soundz like you really have some serious skill's. Save those amen loop's for future project's. Will certianly come in handy. You've got a great tune in the work's here, can't wait to hear the final version. Beer "Cheers" Beer And thank's for the listen. +++Stu Maggoo+++

Thanks for the reviews. I agree with most of you. I noticed that there is a big difference in sound quality when using different headphones/speakers. I was a little unsure about the first saw bass sound... I really like the second one though. I agree when listening to this track the end does not sound right, sounds more like a build up, then cuts too short. I will put some more time into this and post when finished. I also have several other things I'm working on ( all very different styles). I will post more soon. Aslo haven't gotten online much lately, but I have some reviews to post soon.

Has a good intro, like the punchy synth. The drop is good as well as the breakdown! good production! Z

Intro is ok, but nothing spectacular.

Buildup is nice whith the filtered reece.

Drop: OK, but very standard, with a standard sounding tramen.

Not bad, but will need some work to become a great track
