XiJaro - Raw by XiJaro

Made another freebie. Lots of energy in this one (maybe too much?). Please let us know what you think of this. We are working hard on improving our production skills so any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Fire away!

Over all production is really nice.

I think probably the main issue for me in this track is not the technical but the main hook. It simply isn't strong enough to be repeated as often as it is and gets old pretty quick.

The other elements are fantastic by the way and it has great potential but just the fact that the bass line stays in the same key as does the hook and you don't seem to have any real progression in the track. I know you can have tracks that have the same key through out and they work perfectly but they work for different reasons.

Possibly the high end is perhaps a little too harsh on the lead.

Thanks for sharing though, I enjoyed listening to this.

Cheers
Nem

Thanks for your feedback! I agree this track should have a bit more going on in it. I guess it needs more variation, and more breaks from the riff to make it less repetative. Gonna work on that

Personally I enjoy nice and tight dry clap/snares. Nice bassline, what kind of processing do you have on that? The breakdown could use some refintement imho. Cool track, the arrangement just needs the most work.

Thanks

The bassline is basically a kickdrum looped in a sampler passed through the sidechain input of a vocoder on a bass synth with some saturation after that.
