Interesting... never really heard much darude, so dont know if this is a similar style of track. Intro sounds very industrial almost. Quite a good sound actually!

The leads sound very overdriven, to the point of distortion almost. I'd go easier on the compression or whatever is causing it, kinda makes it unpleasant to listen to.

Melody is kinda catchy. Repeats a hell of a lot though and gets tedious by the end of the track, you could add more variation to it or just do something more with it.

Mixing wise, the bassline needs more definition I think. It seems very muddy and gets lots especially when the lead is playing.

Percusion is odd in places. The cymbal rolls sound a bit off and theres a delayed percussion line in there that doesnt sound quite in time to the rest of the track.

Criticism aside though, the track has a lot of heart and character. Definte style going on and the synth programming is quite good as are the fx for the most part.

this sounds well gritty, ilove it, i like the blade like sound you got going there, nice synths to, the kick sound well distorted is this to add to the effect? it remineds me of something, gant think what though. im in the brake now, and waiting.......hmmm, i was waiting for differation of some sort, not to worry though, its still a catchy melodie, so it ok to have it running through most of the tune. i'd like to here it on a big rig, nice, stay safe.

ps, check my shit@

Thanks for listening hardbeats100 - I think the distortion was a compression fluke - I have about 8 kick drums on a high gain so it might be this you detetected - I tried to make a melody you could remember - I would love to hear it on a big rig as well - my home speakers take most of the sound but I would love to hear it at club level just to hear if the alarm sound sounds as good as I wanted it.

Thanks again dude

Thanks for taking a listen Axolotyl you have given me a lot to think about there dude lots of hints and tips that I will take on board - I will have a look at the percussion delay - it might be the tempo VST I used on the fast loop tried to increase it gradually it might not have turned off some where.

Thanks again for the feedback and I will take on board what you have said dude - I am competing for a space on a Surmise compelation album against some good Artists and I want to get it right as Chris flare (astral fame) is on the judging panel and I dont want to dissapoint him
