there are more issues in the mix but just by removing some sounds that don't play an important role and this is getting better, in 5 minutes sounds better now , less muddy

you should make these downloadable so people can judge the mix down

Really impressed by these tracks, though I did expect that from here.. By no means did I expect to be in with a shot like, I mean, I know what my standards of producing are, I dont kid myself into thinking Im something Im not, its just a hobby and Im here to learn. Thank you for all comments guys they all help, although I wouldnt say I was "proficient" just yet (but nice to hear ) ..
For me track 1 is the best, but I think the voting system is slightly flawed due to the amount of plays tracks are getting. On saying that, by listening to all its easy to pick out the top 3, but the order just depends on a matter of taste imo.

track 2 is pretty damn good actually. good work.
the rest is unmemorable, and track 4 has obvious problems.

hint on track 2 if its planned to do more work: introduce the string/pad from the first and second part before the break, to the last part after break before the outro. it sounds abit empty after the break.

voted for track 4

we should do these once a month

EDIT;

1) Good intro, decent pleasurable listen

2) Good power groove. Interest maintained. Boring film score break which for me personaly would not work as part of a dance track like this.

3) Old fshioned.

4) Bit messy and some very cliche sounds.

5) Wall of sound, which is not to my taste.

6) A bit of a generic derivative offering.

So 1 and 2 are about equal but I'll give it 2 as being more original and driving for me, but the break would stop me buying it.

I realize that. Like I said, if the results are totally skewed in one direction , then I would lower the weight of the voting. Still have the judges going thru each one. I suppose I just wanted to show them as well.

Taking all that into account though, I do feel the 2 front runners deserve to be there.

I made some little changes to it but people still think is overcompressed... i love the energetic kicks , but this is softer i think, improved some easy fixing things on the while too:

I think this now is ear bearable:

Rodri Santos - Cataclysm (Original Mix) by Rodri Santos

maybe its not compressed, its just really loud

turn down some sounds so it allows other sounds to actually come thru

or try turning down master lol

seriously cant you hear that its out of sync? seems like you just pasted a midi into your track without even syncing it to your tracks tempo and grid.
