the drummin is nice, but theres no bassline i think. it sounds like a big intro. get your drums rollin without the stops all the time and fill your tune, with bass e.g.
sounds fit for the beginning though

to make a low bass more prominent,
1. compress it
2. put some distortion or saturation on it.
or overlay it with another saw, pulse .. eg. oscillator.

soundquality suffers - must be demostreams fault
vocal shit is nice but I'd use them more sparingly
that reversed sample has been rinsed dead already, more in loop-techno than anything though
the synths at 1:35 are a fresh addition to the tune, but something more interesting could happen with them, they do feel technoish
not too fond of the bass, it's pretty soft for that somewhat rough amen beat. ure right to say it needs something more midrange and agressive. beats are nice btw, but stay away from the flanger effects on them IMO
ok, mind all that shit I just said, it's pretty good for your first dnb tune for sure

cheers lads thanks for your advice, im trying a few basslines out now, and im relooking at some of the advice thrown at me, yeah your right about the spinback, thats first to go, any advice on bassline riffs would be great, i can get sounds ok its more about how to make a driving riff, any advice would be great
thanks again

- take a simple synth and play a c note with e.g. a saw wave in osci 1 and square int osci 2.
- bounce it and load it into a sampler. (im using kontakt 2, great sampler)
- put some effects on it as you like. (distortion, flanger, chorus, reverb) you need to do this carefully.
- bounce it again and use a filter to filter the frequencies you dont like.
- important thing is the modulation. e.g. put some lowpass filter modulation on it. this will give the right dynamic. you can repeat the bouncin and the modulation as often as you like

Yeah this ain't bad at all for a first tune
an there's deff a sub going on in there ; just needs to be eq'd right (not enough lo-freq)
drum workz are done nicely altough they could flow some more
keep @ it dude there's some skills present in this track

the basses: the few notes you play work quite ok for the tune, it's the sound of it needs to be improved. you could try to eq(take out mids) -> distort -> compress-> eq(take a bit of high end, maybe boost low). no quick fix though, you gotta fiddle around
you could then try to insert some creeping highpassed reeces here n there to make a nice contrast opposing the first (now heavy) bass. just let it loop, take a synth and record striking some notes. clean up afterwards

Wow dude, nice one... for a first tune you did an ace job.
I agree with most people that your tune lacks a real bass sound. I would put one up after quite a while though, always a nice effect to delay the introduction of the bass sound.
The whole tune sounds a bit too "nice" for my ears 
, but that's a matter of taste ofcourse. I would add some more nasty shit to it.
BTW: what programs did you use?

hello, yeah i agree some added bass riffs would be better, im on to my next tune now though 
, so itll have to wait for now.
im using cubase sx for sequencing, and reason for beats, i tend to have a problem getting my tracks to sound nasty and dark, its basslines where i tend to suffer, i can get my beats ok, its making the bassline urgent i have a problem with and not dreamy or wishywashy.
how do i get that in your face riff, is it short stabs, a quick 16th pattern, or more sustained notes, my new track has a 2 step sort of goldie style break, any ideas 
?

, and if anyone was my insperation it is the mighty golden one,
