Please check out my new track 'untitled' and post your comments here!!!


This is a song im currently working on... its fading in and out on purpose also the -10db through the track.... I'm posting it up on here to get some tips or ideas... because im trying to finish it.. it like sounds done to me but also feels like a few touches are missing.. also any ideas in improving sound quality are cool.. even tho the final mix will probably have all the errors filtered out... the only drum loop i borrowed is amen.. the others are made by me...

wel i hope you enjoy listening..

ez Mr Packard...

ok, here goes... you said you felt the tune was done, so...

The main problem here is I had to crank my volume right up to hear it! Its too quiet. I don't know waht the problem is here - could be that something is eating your headroom and pulling everything down. Check the eq'ing and compressors... or basically check wahts going on - what did you make this with?

Now then, where's the intro? We're straight in to the main body from the start. If by intro you mean no fast hi-hats...well...

Introduce your tune with some pads, build an atmosphere and bring in your elements. The whole tune needs variation and structure.

My tip would be to listen to a few tunes by recognised artists, in terms of both 'loudness' and structure, and see where you're lacking. Get out a piece of paper and do bar tally notation with notes on where elements come in, breakdowns, etc...

I'm not sorry that I'm being critical here - there is good stuff in there my man for certain, but you need to sculpt a piece of music from it.

Defo see to the levels issue, then get some intro on the go and some alternatives to the main theme, then refresh ya link and we'll see how u go.

Overall, I like your idea, but you need to work it. On tips for improving sound quality, there are several far more qualified on here to tell you waht's what, but if you're struggling for feedback, pm me and I'll tell you what I can.

Keep at it Hewlett Wink

crank up the volume slider! dont be shy. youve got -29.3 db now which makes it so soft that I imagine if played in a club wouldnt match another track in the mix even if the volume is maxed out

dont start a track with the bassline, you can but it makes it pretty boring after a while and the track never gains enough impact

some of the breaks you used are volume inconsistent with the sequenced drumline. and the kick has strange volume shifts, like you layered it but only on certain points, not a bad idea but make it less noticable.

you seem to have an idea running, but everything needs more work here (sequencing, volume, eq)

alright thanks for the tip... i didnt pay too much attention to sound quality yet... because i didnt master it and finish it off... my brother was gonna complete the final mix for me so its really in the status for a club... he is a really good producer so he knows what he does... but i will definately take these tips into account...
thanks people...

definetly needs some work. a few things, the level has to come up a great deal, i had to turn my 001 up half just to get it at a good loud volume. i like the general idea for the song but, not much creativity to the track in my opinion. its going, but doesnt really go anywhere. maybe in the intro take out the main synth you are using, wait until the break and bring it in with a filter, then on the drop full power. the drums also could be built up a bit.. the main pattern comes in right at the beginning and leaves nothing to the imagination. i like the random synth hits during the drop a lot. anyway, thats my two cents. im just getting used to this review writing thing, never reviewed drum n bass before. hope that it is kinda helpful.

intro could be louder , sounds a bit repetive (reece should be more effected from clean to reece , or filtering etc...)
drop could be harder too , fill up those drums with some high vintage stuff.
Almost every producer on this site doesnt take care about the high vintage stuff . (where are the rides ?)
exept for the repetiveness , the tracks sounds really ok.
buildup to second drop sound good with the fx , but you could change bassline now.
love the samples between.
where's the outro ????
