Glad you like it! Yeah i'm definitely gonna work on percussion some more. I usually write the whole track then once i have a rough draft i add the smaller details. Thanks for listening!
comin back with this track as it is nearly completed. I did some major overhauling on the EQ end and as Richard B. says it took the "fried egg" feel out of it. I think..
Added some bass in areas but I am having an issue with the initial bass at 00:51 sec. When that saw hits it seems as if it is out of tune,but when the sub comes in it seems to work itself out. Not sure
As well, any thoughts on the build leading to the drop...I am not sure I am vibing on that drop at all (even think my sub kick is out of place.

Just had a listen & i dig the melodies & synths but there's something off about the bassline? I'm listening on headphones so it's hard to tell. It sounds better in the second half though. Maybe it's the notes or the timing or the sound itself. I know this isn't very helpful!
the deeper voice vocal sounds crazy loud compared to the rest of the track(i do have headphones on atm)
i like the sound design and its a very clear mix.
the paning though throws it out of the groove for me.
if i was danceing it would kill the mood a bit but like i said its not my style but its growing on me
that said its catchy to the point im gonna be singin the vocals all damn night now...
nice work!
one .. two.. dundna damn it!

thanks, I have been messing with the vocals to land them in the mix right, panning wise I am experimenting a big so making it a little more basic and safe might benefit the track. feeling about 90% done with the groove but it needs one last final touch to make it really chug like I want it to.

Man, you lot are a tough crowd. This WIP is fucking wicked - one of the better ones in this entire thread. I love this sort of prog (yes, maybe I love prog from a couple of years ago but if it aint broke (and let;s face it, a lot of recent "prog" is very broke) then don't fix it).
I love the vibe on this one. It's summery prog without being obvious or contrived. Good work Domesty!

My first track I made since I got Bitwig... Attempting to a kinda atmospheric 909 techno track utilizing alot of rhythmic elements.
EDIT:
Thanks for the feedback AlphaStarred, I got a few ideas to make the track less repetitive percussion wise and overall. Going to add some spice to the peak energy section. Uploaded a new version with some flow issues fixed.
Love the start of this but i feel that perhaps you got a bit lazy with the bassline in the second half
you have a nice approach though, looking forward to hearing more of your stuff!

not bad - main criticism is that the bass sound is so wide and loud that it is drowning things out a little and kinda makes the track hard to listen to, for me anyway

Hey Evo, curious when I ask this but what kind of monitors are you listening it through.
