moody intro.....piano is nice.is that the steinberg grand?
but the lead that comes in has no impact..maybe a little to low in the mix.hasnt got any punch....the beats need more percussion.....deeper kick maybe. some nice ideas thoiugh.....
ok...the beats are very rigid.and sound to programmed.....the only way round this is to give them more shuffle/swing......the best way to achieve this is to use some samples.....ye olde beats n bobs......but dont quantise them to much.......yeh ok you cant post your tracks with copywritten stuff on here....but labels often dont care...just dont be to obvious.......oh and it just personal taste but those hi hats sound hideous...its just that drum machine sound.
by the way....dont you make breakbeat as well??? if so check out www.breaksfm.com
they have a producer competition at the minute......but you only have until the 11th of this month to get your entry in.

I appreciate the reply and advice you gave, it's work in progress, so which part of the intro needs to go up? Thanks Z

the lead sound.....yknow the first big saw synth that comes in just before the sub......it has no impact....maybe add some subtle distortion or something..or eq some more mid and high in it.

Alright, I already cut all the bass from it and peaked it at about 140Hz
I am going to turn it up a little more and see it that work, after listening over and over I am going to go back and redo the whole intro, it's not quite dark enough... Any suggestions. Appreciate your advice. Z

yeah i agree with munki C about the lead needing more impact... EQin is very important... its a fine art lol not saying ive got it down, but yeah it needs some eqing to give it that full on beasty mother fucker sound.
cool vox samples, i think the shut up is fine, just abit random sometimes lol
intro is cool
the riffs are evil goodness 
drums are heavy n nice, some eq work needed.
cool stabs n sfx
maybe some more cymbals, like a crazy ride to drive it along.
need to layer your ghostsnare thingy abit maybe, abit hard to hear.
really cool ideas... just needs a little bit of tweaking here and there.
keep up the good work.
7/10 because of lil eq things, but it oculd be 8 or 9 outta 10, just gotta witness the full potential.

peacefull intro that leads to the incoming bassline.
When buildup don't use the high end all the time (keep it for after the drop imo) so crunchy 'n evel.
The drop is a little disapointing me...
-Drums could be more hard and filled up , alldough you've got the right drumsounds.
-Maybe instead of a standard dnb/drumloop ( k s k s k s k s ...)
a different one like ( k s k s k s k s ...) it's difficult to explain.
Vocals a great , remembers me of Torpedo from BC.
Overall is cool n dark but those drums need some little work.
Good job Nick !

Not too sure about that piano in the intro...
Basslines kicking in: the reece sounds like it's sampled from a low-birtrate MP3 or something, try getting a better sounding one. I like how the sub kicks though 
Drop: hmmm, those drums don't have a lot of power, now do they? And they're too loud. And the crash is even louder, awtch, my ears! 
The reece lacks sub too...
The vocals are overused imo. And they sould be compressed a bit. Some parts need a boost, others are too loud.
Bassline is really repetetive, as are the drums.
You need more than a bassline and a set of drums with a vocal on top of them to make a track. Add stuff!

I appreciate all the advice I am going to work on this song tonight; editing it and redoing the entire intro, the Eq is a little off and it can be fusterating and I'll get it.... In time. I am going to layer a little more drums and turn down the crash... Will post another message one I am done. Z
