Nice track, I like it

Some comments/questions:

1. The intro is unusual and slow. Aesthetically it's interesting, but from a DJ's point of view it would be a bitch to mix into.
2. The drums/bass/drumrolls should be louder, punchier, "in yo' face"
3. Why are using kicks only? It would be much better if you also used snares or claps for every kick (like the standard kick-snare pattern)
4. Don't introduce the whole melody too soon, save it for later
5. Some more dynamics, energy, movement, would be nice... I guess you could use louder hi-hats for that.
6. Curious, where did you get the vocal sample, and the sample for that main snare?

keep up the good work

thx for comment!
will work on it

But remember.. I'm still a noob in producing.. It's only my 4th track but I'm learning

I don't know where i got the sample from .. got alot of them on my HD ..
But you can find some links in the music producers forum

Fuck ... I just wrote you a long comment and the lagging TA forum , havent saved it, and i lost that page...
so i'll try again

I'm also working on my 4th track now.. .

so i like your track, nice bass line, and cool relexinng melodies.
also you use the snares and drum rolls too much i think,
2:10 and on reminds a bit of ATB , that cool
the new synth at 4:00 is cool, but its volume is too high compering the rest i guess, also tweak it alittle, cause it has some kind of looping sound
5:30 till the end, very cool again

have fun mate, and good luck!

hehe i use exactly the same software

firstly, take that tick out of the intro, it would work miles better without it (and dj worth his salt wouldnt care about the intro.. u cue from the first beat in most cases so having an intro isnt a problem)

the synth u have coming in thru 2 mins is nice, could maybe do with some fx on it to give it some arse kicking ability.. a bit of reverb and some compression would do the trick. the same goes for the lead synth..

the lead synth at 4 mins, needs to flow in one smooth motion instead of having the synth going twice every beat.. turn the attack up and the release up also both the synths u have running need to vary more, elaborate on the melody, make the loop of it twice as long

the beat is very basic, u need to find better samples, and use more variation thru the track, as u have the same percussion running thru pretty much all the track. u need some hats on every off beat at least to give it some motion.

not bad for early work, although u need to work hard on the percussion issues

have fun!
