FL PROJEKT, O JEEZ I WANT TO REVIEW IT NOW.

change that, and put some other intro duction.

yea sounds like FL.

try variating the durms, i dunno, every 4 bars, and majorly when you goto change something majorly.

good rule of thumbs... the bassline, hard to do. but maybe not so much verb? i dunno.. doesn't sound that great anyways...
try spending more time on that, or get a good sample, nice swing, ha. good work, hard to do in FL.

i feel like im downloading this from pluto. man taking forever...

alright, first take:
dirty bass is always fun. i like the beat change ups. that is a must have in any track. cool fx, but maybe not enough of them.

second listen:
ya, the fx leave me wanting, especially the stabs in the breakowns. id recommend echoing them, dub style (evenly space them out, while fading the volume %80, %60, %40, %20.) i like the beat change ups. but it helps to have elements of your changeup beats introduced early on. that way, they do not take you by surprise. an example is at the 1:46 point, when you move to the swing beat. if you had a few 8 count swing beats at change up points earlier in the track, it would help ease the listener into the swing transition.

third take:

ya, you have the change ups working, just alter those change ups by incorporating that swing beat, maybe every 2nd time. you know, one with that offstep beat that is heavy on the kicks, then next time use the swinger. that would prepare us Smile

overall:

the bass is cool, but it wears on me. i like the variation around the 2:50 mark. again, back to transitions, if would serve to your advantage to take a piece of that bass change up and use it throughout the track, maybe even in conjunction with the beat change ups. it would remove some of the predictibility, while maintaining the energy.

ive never used FL, so i cant provide feedback in 'the language.' i hope you get my overall meaning tho. keep working on it man.

nice intro.. mayb a bit more variation on the beats in the intro.. nice sawy bassline, really raw..

nice melody's around 2min 30..

at the end the variation in the beats is very good

also good production quality
good job

bass line is pretty cool when it gets into it but it lacks variation and gets boring, especially since its so apparent and a main part of the song.

try to vary the high hat rhythms rather than sticking to 8th or 16th notes

the fx dosnt seem to integrate with the track it just floats, try and move it down by a few semi tones to match the bass note,

the track seems to lose direction as it progresses
try and stick to set blocks and end them with fills rather than slurring the whole thing together.

the elements are here but need to fit together better.
