It's been a while but I'm back with a remix under my Neptune guise. It's Coming For You is unpredictable and quite different to the ordinary trance you may hear everyday. Short and sweet but is full of enough energy to get your blood pumping.
I'm after any kind of feedback available. Whether you may have anything to comment on production, creativity, anything...!!
Any feedback is good feedback! - I thank you in advance!
Kind regards,
Neil

Hmm, the perc work is quite appalling... and the kick is really weak.
It doesn't really have any kind of hook to keep me interested either. It's really hard to build on this kind of theme when the track is so short.
I don't know man. Maybe not the greatest track to remix. It just doesn't seem to have a melody that appeals at all.
Try to avoid putting so much percusion on the kick. This tends to give the "stomping" feel, rather than the "energy" feel you get from placing percs inbetween kicks.
As said above, get some better samples. The kick is too soft. Finally I think it needs to be longer. Its just too short.
Hope that helps.

Thanks guys they are two good analyses so far.
Maybe I can agree that the track is probably too short.
I think a big problem with this remix was I wasn't sure what I was intending. My last track was soft and melodic @134BPM and I started doing this in the same style but then over time I changed moods and this i think can really ruin a track. Need the same state of mind.
But thank you. Anyone else have anything interesting to bring to my attention? It would be appreciated!! -Critisism isnt bad, as long as its valid!
P.s what does perc mean?

Yeah, agree with everything said before.
The percussion should surround the kick, not cover it. The kick should be harder (try compressing it more or getting a different sample). The melody is just too short to show any kind of progression or emotion. Also the synths are really harsh and annoying, not something to be played loudly.
There's definitely potential in your production skills but this particular track I think is best left alone, maybe do something a little more melodic like your last track?
