Howdy, It's been a while since i have posted any new tunes as i rarely finish songs nowadays. I'm happy with this one here and hope you guys enjoy it. I'm not very good with effects so any tips on that would be nice. Lemme know what you think!

good track man.

great percussions, I like the kick. nice cuts especially, you picked some good samples. nice rolling bassline too. I would make that arp a bit more driving though when it comes in, maybe boost the volume with a maximizer, get some presence with stereo imaging and lengthen the release.

but, overall, my hat goes off to you sir

Thanks for the comment! Good call on the arp i'll have to mess with it some more.

Yep, make that arp dominate a bit more imho.

Otherwise good stuff

Listening now...

Nice intro.

I think the kick could be stronger...it doesn't sound quite right, imo.

I love the arp stuff happenin' in this track. Very nice.

Cool, chilled pads. Might wanna widen the stereo on those more tho...prolly just a personal preference.

Definately needs some kinda build up to lead in after the break...it kinda just suddenly jumps right back into the track.

Very repetative with very little variation this song is...it gets a tad boring, imo.

Basically..it's a somewhat decent track, just needs some modification and definately some variation.

I concur, the arpegios are cool, I dont like the spectrum pads are using. I dont know if it is me but I feel the clap a bit panned, distracted me a bit.
The build up is a bit basic, very predictible, I notice there are not good Fx's, swooosh sounds, etc, that made me feel a bit empty the track.
The beat, is very basic, clap, etc, kick, but hats, they are okay, I would try to use more backgrounds drums.
In overall, you have the idea, but the track it feels pretty basic&empty, try to work more in the build up, it has not energy, to give more presence to the lead too, it feels in the background.
Happy new year .
Kopi =o.

Thanks for the reviews guys, I was never any good at effects, is my biggest struggle right now, dont have many samples.

Thanks again.
