Listen close on the entrance to the build, you'll notice I made the main lead synth turn into a dubstep wobble. It's neat :)
I hope someone here can appreciate it lol. |

| Erm, is it meant to sound like three different tracks? I mean the drop has nothing to do with either the intro and the buildup whatsoever. |

Usually with my tracks I take an A, B, A + B approach to the structure, so I understand how you feel that way as it's only a WIP and only the first drop, the second drop will combine elements of both halves. |

| I might like to hear a little foreshadowing of the lead in the first section (maybe just a faint preview of the pad sidechained with the kick). I'd also like to hear perhaps a closed high-hat come in (maybe right where this demo ends) to give it a little bit more drive and energy. Overall, though, I like it. |

the drop is the intro without the vowel lead :D
the beat is just a full cut and paste from before the break, but since this is WIP, i'm sure Sean will take a look at that later on
Sean, if anything, there is a weird "rattle" in the background on your lead it's makes things sound a bit like a broken speaker, not sure if that's appealing or intentional. it's the layered buzz (or filter opening, not sure what i hear) you can hear it most clear at 1.03 -1.05, for me VERY anoying at that point :D |

Before i even pushed play i knew what sound was gonna play exactly! lol
Your sound selection is getting really predictable, not that they sound bad or anything. Just an observation. |

That's actually the lead morphing into a dubstep wobble hahaha. It pitches down 2 octaves, removes the detune & some of the distortion on the lead, as well as the resonance, pulls back the white noise a little bit and begins to wobble.

Yeah, I was thinking about teasing the lead too :) Thanks for the feedback man!

Haha, I don't think it's that predictable, or any more predictable than most artists. You kind of have to develop a style and your sound selection is really all you have in dance music. Joe blow's not going to pay attention to the structure. I did create every sound you hear specifically for this track though. I try not to use saved patches often.
Regardless, thanks for checking it out :) |

| Sean not sure we're talking about the same thing. I don't mean the sound itself, but the sort of noisy clicky artifact behind it. most clear to be heard between 1.03 and 1.05 |

Oh, yeah, that's actually the white noise being affected by the distortion, it sounds great on the high end. I just need to pull it back more when the octaves drop, I noticed that too.

| check! that's it. Further a real Seandroid track. I'm fan if you don't go too harsh, but you know that. |

The clap sounds a bit awkward, I think a more traditional snare would work better.
edit: sounds like you push the clap forward...still think it sounds awkward |
