The only thing I did not like was the fact that the bass drum snare drum pattern did not change enough. other than that I liked the song.

production is pretty nice bro, kicks solid, and so is the snare, as said above the kick and snare need to move around a bit,

Great TRACK guy ! Nice synths !
Love the intro ! I think you have to compress your sound a little bit more, it sounds too "high" for me !

But very Nice JoB !

[Shock/Tactics]

Thanks guys :) I'll take all this on board for getting it finished for the competition!

[DJ Noobe]

Finish and keep us updated ! =)
Impatient to hear the end !

[Shock/Tactics]

Hey guys! Finished the track! Not too different, but I think the drums are a lot more interesting now!

Enjoy ;)

Oh Mate !

I think i prefer the old drum sound. The drums don't have a real identity, they sound too "chemical".
If you wanna work again on this tune, let's get on your drums, work on Kick, Snare, etc, separatly, and spend time to search a great and rich drum sound !

Try to EQ each one and compress a little bit ;)

Really? I prefer the new drums. With the old ones your kind of just waiting for something to change. Although to be honest it is a lot different if you the listener have just heard it whereas I've been repeating the track in my ears for hours on end so it's nice to hear something new ha :P just a thought, but cheers anyway for the advice!
