Please check out my new track 'Groan' and post your comments here!!!
One of the earliest dnb songs I completed. I probably wont ever mess with it again, just wanted to upload it to show how far i've come (if thats very far at all). Definately the best thing about this is the drumwork, back then I didn't know how to send the patterns from Redrum to the sequencer, so I did it all IN the sequencer; really I think I make more creative loops that way so I should probably go back to that.
Anyway dont expect anything too impressive. Be harsh as you please

No problem 
Nah, I'll just be honest, like always 
Intro: not bad, but a bit empty.
Choir is kinda cool
Bassline coming in: sounds a bit like Afrodite style
Not great.
Crunch pad in adition to the not so great bassline: ew, man, that is an ugly patch! And they don't work well together at all.
Drums: erm, where's the drive? There is not power whatsoever...
The extra synth that comes in towards the end: sounds like cheesy 80s stuff... Not good. And it makes everything very messy.
Overall the track is quite boring.
There you got it

Ok so let`s be as much harsh as you like to be... 
just kidding....
Ok the review.....
Intro is interesting with the chior but it really needs something more
The drums are not good at all 
The pad isn`t patched with the low bass frequency try to avoid that...
The synth are ok ,very good baseline.....
Ok the tune is rolling doesn`t comes repetitive or dull....
The idea is origynal so I like it 
I rate this 8/10

i dont know that i like the intro or your choice of drum samples ... 
everything seems kinda distant it lacks umph i think ...
your drums are relaly kinda weak ... 
they make me cry
are we goin somewhere with this cause its the same patterns over and over ... and we arent getting anywhere with it ...
i like the bass line and the synth and the rest ???

Awww, don't cry 
Your drum's are pretty good, you've got the right idea when it comes to mapping them out but the sound and effect's are pretty messy. The old double delay, not good. It does have it's place but usually only on single hit's like when you bring the drumz in at 1:59.> This is also a good section to point out how empty your drumz are sounding, throw some delayed or filtered hihats in the background, it will certianly spice thing's up. Once again you have the right idea and allot of your drum editing was really good so don't cry just tighten and spice thing's up! Cheers

the drums do come out nicly.... i might try that, just do one long piano roll for drums.... hmmmmm
that's a long ass pause... and than nothing. it should have exploded, but the two different sounds don't sound good like that. it drops a few notes, and sounds shitty. need to find a note that works there.
that's for sure. it's a minimalistic track. the drums need to be cranked up louder, WAY louder!!!! YEA, there the best part of this track. nice indeed. that bassline sucks cocus, i like the pad.
