my new track....

i spent a good amount of time on the intro and kinda rushed the rest. im sure that will be evident when you hear it but i just want you guys to download it and give me some advice on what i should work on. i plan on revising it several more times, but this is my finished first version

thanks for listening and for any feedback!

The opening effect sounds really nice.

Once the bass kicks in though, it really gets a bit lost. The bass isnt strong enough, or accented enough. THis should be a source of high energy, but mostly serves as background noise here.

Drum could be a bit more varied. make more breaks, or longer varying drum patterns to add a bit of interest.

Add more than one thing at once! Often your patterns only add a drum sound or one instrument at a time. Dont be afraid of people losing your sounds!

Main melody: I like the sound, but it needs to have more layers to it. The notation seems a little bit off here, but I think it can work.

Pad: If it came in before 2:00 I didnt notice it. Its not strong enough and also sounds kind of monotonous. Add some more layers and some more effects and you could have a nice pad there. The notation seems ok.

2:58: I really like this part. the sound is weird, and needs to be stronger/more layers but I think the pattern and notation works. The drum roll out of this is excellently done (you just need new drum sounds, I think)

Overall, this is an ok concept and still sounds amateurish. Still, it's better than what I throw together, and I think this could have some nice potential with some layering, effects, and variance. I think this is a pretty good job overall.

thanks tribu.. i'll definately look into a lot of that. i screwed with the kick more than you can imagine and nothing, and i mean nothing seemed to make it sound more powerful and energetic. it provides plenty bass but i know what you mean. its missing too much.

i think after the first 2 min or so i just got lazy and rushed and more or less threw the rest together in about an hour. obviously this is just a first version and hopefully i can get some more opinions to develope a better track overall.

i'll definately take much of what you said into consideration and improve it for version two. hopefully i can get version two out in another week or so...

Nice instruments, dark klima, bass don't like me, pads and melo are very simple, although your track is no bad, you must more work !!
