The Sax sound, is too distinct, doesn't blend in. Melodies are unusual, but pretty cool when you get used to them. Personally I think they should have another sound, sounds a bit cheesy in my ears. Your Drums are awesome.

some below 20hz activity in the intro, cut it out with eq-ing the master channel.
through the whole track theres too much subbass even hits 10hz

hmm that melody with the pipe rings a bell. what could it be, I know it from before

anyhow not a bad tune, you seem to know what youre doing. overall sound quality is fairly crisp, everything is audible and clear.

it lacks some structure (didnt like the drop). not too fond of the swingy amen use, especcialy when its accented like this. in fact Im starting to hate the amen - personal tastes

soundchoice is good actually, somewhat too patchy sounding

overused the vocal sample and with no variation, do some effecting to make it less droning (reverb+filter at the end is cool) and insert it smarter IMHO cant have the pressure all the time Wink

intro's chill , but it has been mentioned that your sax just 'pops' in , more blending in could be usefull , or put the velocity down.

that drum is a sample right Smile

I dunno ... the drums (who are ruff) don't really fit with such a chill ambi.
Or you should make cheesy drums
Or you should make the ambient ruff n dark.

drums could use some high end , they sound too low-passed filterd.

"pressure" vocal is a bit overused.

Is this track finished ? could be a bit longer , and having an outro too.

nice track grass.

I am, Cool
I slice drumloops with fruity slicer, and then make my own loops with them.
by the way, drumloops aren't that difficult to make

ah just the way i do , but what did you trow trough the Slicer ...?
...a wav-sample.
and what kind of wav-sample?
...an amen.
Did you made the amen ? No
Did you edited the amen ? Yes.

Red Face all the heisa for a edited drumloop Roll Eyes

I use the Fruity slicer all the time , back in the past i only used drumloops like (tr)amens or firefights or others.
But now i make my drumloops from one shot samples , save it as wav.
And then trow it trough the Slicer.

Well it's the first time in 2 months for me to review a track here...
And FUCK I hate sax n shit. Default sine is nice, so are the amens.
imo I'd drop the sax & the other thingy... which is hard to describe.
Find something more wicked, something with power & a fuckin' sweet melody.
Shud sound good then

Well, off to the next track
c ya

@ greyone

idd, I used a basis amen, but then sliced it and made my own loops with it.
my first 2 songs were with basic drumloops, but then I start making those myself.
And now, when someone says it's a drumloop, then that's a insultment , you get my point. When making an entire song (+your own beats) you get more pride out of it.

again thx for the comment, but I don't think I'm gonna change much 'bout it, because I've already started on a new track.

hiphop beat in the beginning is kinda interesting, nice and chilled... however i find the synth kinda boring that starts in the beggining... i dont feel that the sax completely fits with the synth... kinda like the short buildup... but i think the drop is kinda too sudden... its not giving enough time to adjust and become more distinct with the sound... some of the breaking down drums at around 1:40 is quite cool... However the track goes on kinda long... im getting kinda bored with that same sound... perhaps some new samples need to come in... another heavy bassline... i dont have a real feeling of sub bass on this tune on these speakers... too much in the high frequencies...perhaps some more drum kit variations might be in place... overal i like your tune.. however its not really bumping yet... i wouldnt mind just sitting in my room chilling to the song while smoking a j... but thats all its gonna be for me...

Hey mate,

Just a quick review of your track!

Right as cynik stated, your subs seem to be reaching very low frequencies. Im listening on my headphones (which cover the whole human frequency range) and yeah they are pretty low (many people's speakers dont even respond to 40 Hz) so be careful there.

The first set of drum samples that come in aint as nice as could be but they sound decent enough! Really like the jungle loops that come in (and the way they are filtered if thats what you have done!) I dunno about the others but I think the sax is pretty nice man! Well used and I like the melody it plays. I seriously think though the track would sound really nice without all those instruments clashing on the main drop! cos those beats are mad! (GOOD!) Overall though I say smashing track and well done! Keep it up, you can only get better Bigup

You have some good ideas and edits here on the beats, but there are just too many melody lines fighting for space. Also, watch out for too many tracks that occupy the same frequencies (something I have been guilty of on many occasions as well). Simplify the track a bit more, you get close at about 3:20. Focus on making that the basis and less melody lines. Or, experiment with different synth patches for the lines you have. Could be a pretty cool tribal/ragga track with some work!
