Looking at your message history with no responses to other peoples tracks it's safe to say you do not deserve any feedback either.

a 2nd opinion? as in, yours was the first? Yea, okay, well if you truly want an opinion other than your own.. it was an atrocious listening experience. Go back and find the key of the song. It sounds way off. Secondly, the bass, was it a patch? Sounds like it wasn't processed at all. I'll give you credit for the main lead. I'm always a sucker for those sort of sounds but still sounded super weak. Percussion (midway) through sounded alright however, its barely audible throughout. If I were you and I wanted to remix this track, I'd go and find some midi elements of the original. At least then you'll know what the correct chord progressions should be. Then I'd go back and redo it..

2 rules if you want my feedback;

1) you feedback to others no matter how unskilled you might feel you are - afterall you make subjective judgements every time you download from beatport so don't use the lame excuse you don't know how to pass a judgement.

Make your feedback useful and be honest.


2) Embedd the track - personaly I don't do links

Sticking it in the right section would help too.

you're welcome, and I wasn't trying to be an ass but for some reason I expected at least something other than what I heard. The entire off key thing was like nails on a chalk board. I really was at a loss. But, its not the worse that I've heard and I'm sure at one point in my production days my stuff sounded almost as atrocious. It really puts into perspective how good, good producers are and how far people like you and me have to come in order to put something decent together..

Now you asked for some advice on how to make it better and I have no problem sharing my experience with you. But what I think you should do first is experiment more with your song.

Make this track sound like something you'd hear in your favorite mix. Turn up the levels, fix the key, make the bass, a bassline worth hearing. Add some sidechain, reverb. Use your filters to sweep up and down different elements. Maybe instead of jumping right into the vocals as you did, you can begin with a vocal chop.

Take out those cheesy ass bells. Elaborate on your main lead. Make it loud and fit more prominently into your mix. Add fx to your breaks.

Man there's so much- that's why I said experiment. Make this track your own.

Then come back and ask us what we think about it..

also.. what DAW do you use? Any vst's? Tell us what your working with..

my feedback is i suggest you learn the difference between a bootleg and a remix, since BT clearly didn't ask you to remix this.
