Still needs tweaking, and a drop putting in properly. but what you reckon for the overall sound?

 

[subprime]

Hmmmmm, Sounds a little empty and lacking in energy/power. I think I can hear what you're trying to do but it didn't really work for me.

 

[Barnzee]

safe, cheers anyway.

any pointers?

It has a lot of potential overall but to me this sounds like its one big intro to be honest.. I expected a lot of more distorted and nasty sounds..

 

[Barnzee]

That's my problem. I'm alright with the drums, can create basslines, its the stuff in between i cant do. Any body got any advice, what to add? cus i agree, it sounds empty.

a lot of more distorted and nasty sounds..

This for a starter.
The snare was soft, the kick was muffled. Needs to be a lot crisper I would think.

liking all the sounds you have so far, its quite a twisted sound which is nice!

i think the bate answer is; u need to fill out the drums more, u cud hav a straight roller beat with 8 hits in the bar, like a break or maybe an icicle tune, need a small selection of nice hi hats) or you could have a more complex syncopated pattern like phace or noisia, which has more like 16 hits a bar, more shuffle in it like shshshshs its harder to make the latter sound right,

either way u need more drums.. ! rides, hi hats, bongos, clicks / clacks etc.etc.
