I have been making this track intermittently for the past few weeks.

It's titled so because my mac started dying while making this tune.

It got to a point when the sound was too stuttery so i just rendered it before it died.

I desperately need a new comp but heres my tune anyway . . .

Good bass end of things, nice clean mix. A decent track mate. No crits.

Heya Mike,

At this stage I don't think it's ready to be submitted. Percussively there is still a lot to be done and in its current state it feels unfinished even if it does sound nice so far.

Something I think I picked up on is that there is a little too much compression or there is clipping going on which sounds a little ugly on what is otherwise a track with potential.

Lead in needs to have more interest generated as at the moment it's very much an extended intro and doesn't really give you that much in the way of excitement.

what I would suggest you do it put it down for a week or so and then revisit it once you have focused on something else for a while if the solution doesn't present itself right away. I do that frequently and it's a really useful way of getting some objective distance from a track.

Cheers
Nem

Cheers Nem.

Which part have I over compressed?
I know exactly what u mean by the lead. I thought there was something amiss with the track.

I'll let it sit for a week and see what I come up with then.

Cheers for the advice

Hi all, new here.

I really the love the feel of the track. I agree with an above poster, how much compression do you have going?

I really love the groove, but I think the breakdown from 2:26-4:38 needs to have a bit more. maybe some atmospherics to fill it out a bit.

great track though, I would use it in a dj set when you are done.

There is a very good idea laid down, something really interesting to work with but I would urgently work in the transitions. The energy don´t flows, kind rigid. Though I like the sound palette and sounding. The track is worth a rearrangement, maybe put it aside some days, and listen to it with a more spontaneous perspective.

Cheers keep it up man!
