the intro could work quite well as u said if there was a few more bips n bleeps ect and put thourgh a nice filter, it would fill it out alot more and give it more depth. the drums need alot of work theres not enough goin on with them and levels and eq need to be done. as u said basslines poor, but as u said ur still learning same as everyone else on here. If i was u id keep some of the ideas from the intro but apart from that id start again. Pm me if u want any drum tips ect. in a bit geez keep at it.dave

Erm, where are the drums? Oh, there they are, here and there between the completely overpowering bass!

Hmmm, hoovers aren't bad, but the melody is a bit dull

Check your levels man, and compare bass levels to that of released tracks.

intro is quite ok, except for the claps, dont like em.
drums need more power, layer them, put on some fx's
sounds like something that would've been playing in a mid 90's computergame main menu

I think that its time to get a new beat. I disliked the clap. Don't use a dance kit, use a sample pack or something. The bass wasn't that great. Kinda all over the place. Here's some melody tips:
-Try not to go from one octave, to another that often
-add just a tad bit of distortion to the bassline

And the drums. Turn them up! I could barley hear them. Instead of claps, use a cool, raging snare. You can get them in the sample page. It need some work, but I'm looking forward to the fineshed product!

ummmm

handclaps are a no-no - kill them! kill them dead!

I'm not too fond of the blatent borrowing from prodigy synthbass at the end either.

I do however like the bass hoovers.

I suggest kill the entire beat and start again - it doesnt really qualify as a beat to be deadly honest. Kill it all, start with the hoovers and formulate a whole new beat - sample one if you must, but the snare here just sounds like a metronome its so ineffective.

Don't take all this criticism to heart too much - you've certainly got potential with ability to write phat basslines - something I find pretty difficult myself as a liquid producer. but yeah, Handclaps = eurgh.

I'd like to hear a (very much) improved worked on finished version of this.
