well if it's your first track ever thats not bad , you got alot of stuff to work on , i'm listening with crappy headphones atm , so it's hard to say but your sound needs alot of work + where's da kick m8?
the beat is kinda empty , but keep on working , that's a start..
have a nice day

thanks for the feedback...

sounds like the kick is plenty loud to me. maybe i just didn't do a good job mastering? any other suggestions to help improve my sound then?

i suppose that "professional" sound can be fairly elusive...

cheers,

Good Melody, But I thought the bass is a bit to Cheesy.

Keep up the good work!

Cheers!

eq the bass and hats... what should i do? emphasize the high end on the hats and the low end on the kick? is it usually that simple? i didn't mess with any eq stuff b/c i've never had any idea where to go with it...

cheesy bass? i pretty much agree, but starting out i want to first be able to achieve a decent sound, even if it is a bit cheesy thanks for the compliment on the melody.

i'm headed out of town til tuesday, i'll work on all that stuff when i get back.

thanks again guys!

I think u should lower the pitch on the kick firstly.
Try and stretch the bassline a bit (add more release), and either quieten it or add gain in the higher frequencies and remove gain in the lower frequencies because it is a very deep round bass that doesn't fit in the track very well.

Other than that it is a good track especially for a first.
