Decent... not great.. but decent.

Work on the mastering & composition.

musically it's great. good ideas and everything. It just needs mastering. The sounds all mix together and are hard to differentiate. also seems a little too in your face. not enough panning going on. these are all easy fixes though. keep up the good work.

What the guy above me said;

The track is good, but a little muddy. Give yourself more headroom in the mix. I also think that your bassline is causing the majority of the problem, with that low hum. Try adjusting that hum of your current bassline (or perhaps side-chaining it to the kick a little heavier) or removing it and putting in a different bassline and you may find that the rest of the track sounds much cleaner.

Thanks for sharing.

yea as has been said the mastering is where this tune falls short. the bassline is whats causing it from what i can tell. you could also bring the clap down a little bit to make some more room. your bassline is a little too 'wide' and not deep enough. the build into the main section had absolutely no tension and was a little akward. you may also wanna do a bit more with that bassline than those two notes. i would also suggest taking out that second breaks section. the first was fine (tho i recommend a snare with a longer release) but the second seemed out of place.

keep at it man.

I was meant to post this earlier but I've been super busy and haven't had time to download your track because of my packed schedule.

Intro felt nice and full. Then at 1:00 or so I noticed something (I'm not sure how long it'd been playing) that sounded like either a bass string or a really fast bass playing a long, held, constant note somewhere in the mid-low frequencies (sounded pretty saw-ish), and it got a tad annoying. Maybe if it was gated and took a little less space, it would sound better.

Breakdown sounded pretty good. I like the chords of the melody very much, but it felt a little jumpy and overcomplex. Sometimes it's a good thing, but in this case, it gets a bit confusing, and takes you out of the mood. Then after the breakdown that annoying instrument came back and was playing two or three long notes. You certainly weren't lacking complexity in the main lead, so why not spread it around to your supporting elements?

Overall the track was very good. Full of energy, good use of sounds. It has alot of potential but those few things I mentioned above are bugging me.

nice tune. thicken up that bass. also, listen closely to the bass. when the lead changes notes the bass sounds about half a step behind in changing. bring the high-end down a bit. it's sort of overpowering.

all in all, it's good.

Hey,
I will avoid the mastering sugesstion :P, the track itself is very uplifting, breakdow is the best part for shoe nigga :P.
In overall this could be a really good tune, just fix that mastering and all is very sweet .
Keep it up man .
Kopi =o.
