id raise the kick about 2db, you could try an eq boost around 1k, just so it punches through a bit more

generally speaking though its better to cut out other stuff in the track thats blocking the kick

theres no real punch in the kick, just attack - id try layering it with a kick thats a bit deeper?

10 points for the title! love it.

Really dig this, chord progression really suits it.
On first listen the things that stuck out for me:
The kick sounds like a sample of a real bass drum one shot but on my headphones it sounds low fidelity.
The breakdown at 2:40 where that mono lead synth comes in, that lead for me was pumping too much for me to really enjoy its part (which is great), what about having everything else pumping but removing that from the sidechaining and put some ping pong delay or something. My 2 cents! Overall really enjoyed it. Again, the title is killer!

Hey guys,

been away for a little bit, seems everytime I get going with music life gets f$#kn busy which is annoying.

Anyway, ive had this song sitting in my machine for a while and yesterday decided to mess with a few aspects I was never really happy with. Im after arrangement and sound design feedback, not mix at this stage.

thanks!

I prefer the second part which starts with the first break, you should built the whole track round that IMO, it's catchy! The big synth may be could be side chained some more so it really swells in and out.

Thx for feedback on mine, I will get to work on it.


PS - I added a lead and made a few other changes to this one, thx for the advice Darek;

i like the bass and some of the supporting elements, dont like that lead or the way it progresses really!

Some muddy loop I made the other day on some 7$ headphones, dont really feel like cleaning it up. Its nice to track on shitty gear, mix not so much.

I reckon it's done if you guys agree.

Any tracks you wanna post up guys, I love this part of the forum where all our fiddling comes together as track.

I'm prob outta key like always but I have a crescendo melody at the end. I know there's no white noise or crashes and sweep, i'll add them later when i'm done.
