Can you maybe create SoundCloud account and post a link to it.
Is easier for us to play this way than download you song to our system.
I will give it a run if you let me lessen you song not download.

Cheers.

Alright sure thing, just soundcloud lowers the quality a little bit

Seems overcompressed, otherwise I don't mind it.

Let me just say that I run your song three times and it has interesting melody line which I really enjoyed. This for me is the most important step in the process of creation good song. Instrument selection was good with soft sounding drums and well control, tied bass. The last aspect is the mixing or producing which required some help (work). I think overall you have a piece of music which has a lot of potential with some need of work in areas of production. Work on the brightness and depth in the sound of your instruments. You have to find the balance between deep aggressive (with good dynamic range sound) and fit that into your musical structure of this song.

Good luck and let us know when you will have final version of this song available.

Keep the music rolling man.

Thanks for the comments. I've made the mixdown better, since my first version was made in about 4 hours, lol. About it being the final version, I figured why not let the listeners judge whether its the final version or not. Enjoy and leave comments please!

interesting bassline dood

I like it. I can't tell you to much because don't have my good headphones with me and is really hard to hear all of those frequencies. Composition is really good. Will give a run when I get back home tonight.

I think you are on something with this song.

Keep them rolling man.

Thanks a lot, glad you like the bassline!

Beautiful melody line, I really like it. It feels really good to groove with it.

Good job man, can�t find anything wrong so far.

Keep them rolling man.

Great smooth track overall. The only neg was the last part that there are a lot of sounds at the same time, it kind of becomes a little noisy. Over all drums, bass and melody all match very well. Good job man!

Thanks a lot man. You know at first I thought this track was really stupid/cheesy. But I put a little more work into it and got some great responses. =D

Wow excellent track. I really liked it, my only critique is on the finally mix down/mastering it could be cleaner and at 4:34 when you have the synths filter out it almost sounds like it filters out too much and comes back maybe smoothing that out would sound better but over all its really good. Any chance i can get a copy when youre officially done?

Thanks for listening dude. Yea mixing down that massive supersaw chord sound will take some hard work and my ears aren't that trained(been producing for about 9 months). And yea I will def smooth out the High pass. And about the copy, of course I'll post it up here for everyone to download =).

I really like this track too. As TL said the groove is spot on.

The only minor thing i'd look at adjusting is the thickness of the bassline. Id try layering another sub bass over the bassline you already have as the track progresses and put a bit of chorus or something on it otherwise the bassline gets a bit lost as the other elements come in. You'll still hear the attack of the original bassline but get the guts of the sub to push it through the mix a bit.

Excellent stuff.

edit - the chords at the end are a little harsh, it might be worth scooping out some EQ about 2-5k and then send the chords out to a reverb that can keep some high end to it, panned left and right.
