A couple of things immediately stood out for me and i'll just list them as I noted them down :-
Bassline - probably a little too thick and could use a bit of EQ. Try making a small cut somewhere around 100-200hz. Create a narrow boost of a few db and sweep around that area until you hear an obviously boxy or woofy sound and then make a cut in that area.
Kick - Too flat. Either try another kick or layer the one you're using already with something that has a bit of click or attack.
Reverb - High pass the reverb channel a bit and lower its level. For my ears the reverb is a little to present.
Lead line - Make one! A track like this stand or falls on a hook or memorable lead and that's the main thing that's lacking at the moment. Sometimes a tricky thing to create, but something that's essential imo.
Nice start, keep us updated as the track progresses :) |

A truly helpful post! Thank you, and as for the lead, I've been playing with different melodies to find something that will fit. I'll update the song for you ASAP. |

Hey man, just listened to it. Hmm... Try to change the kick and the bass to make it bit more harder what I mean to have a proper sound when the receiver is trying to catch the bit... Let me guess... You worked on it with Pro53? :) similar sounds :) and with the reverb, not sure if theres some flanger on it I would fix it and choose a better lead or a synth to the melo...not like it to be honest :) work on it yet, it might be a good tune! :)
Best Regards

Actually, I use Reason 4.
Anyway, I updated the song with the suggestions provided, and added a lead. Tell me what you guys thing. |
