Nice little roller you got here mate. Moves along smoothly but theres something about them drums that just doesnt sit right for me, and I cant put my finger on what it is........I think they sound too......midrange......I dunno....but it's really bugging me. I think if they had a bit more low end behind the kick and snare it would fill the track out more and make it heavier.

Great overall vibe though.

I like atmosphere. I like almost whole song except snare.

 

[subprime]

Sounding tight on headphones. Like the bass.

 

[marcelkennard]

Thanks, interesting to hear this about the drums. Has anyone got any other ideas on what might make the drums sound better? I personally thought they sounded quite good because they sit above the bass- frequency wise, maybe I could attempt to give them more low end but I think it might muddy the bass a bit too much

 

[Rezonate]

Some nice sounds in there Try playing around with the pitch and tone of the kick and snare samples think that might do the trick on the drums

God work!

 

[marcelkennard]

Thanks alot for the advice on the pitching, will have to have a fiddle

perhaps layering another hit behind it - not even snare - just something with enuff low end on it - then just drop out the unwanted freq might work for you

Very nice track. Personally, I just think the intro could benefit with a couple of small drops of bass to make it slightly easier to break in. Hope that helped.

I see what you mean, so basically, the main thing is to try and get a bit more low end with the snare right??? I'm gonna revisit the snare later on today when I have some more time, cheers though my friend

Nice1, would love to hear more of the synth starting @ 0:50

Good stuff,sounds tight,personaly i like snare it just fits in tune,instead try to make kick sound more beefier,but again if you listen everybody's oppinion you will end up nowhere.It is all about taste

 

[vickvega]

yes - more low freq - just dont overload it - try some diffrent things - i find i f we have drums that lack in some freq ranges - most times more drums are not the answer- but some hits that add just the specific freq needed
hope this helps
