Hey guys, i just posted this up, and i had fun producing it, but i feel like it's missing something.. Can anyone put a finger on it? Feedback would be greatly appreciated, what to change, mixing problems (sub too loud maybe?). Another question i would like to ask is ..could i play this out?

Thanks alot guys!

right ham, first off thanks again for your feedback. really helps a bunch! So I've changed the sidechain settings on the bass and chords and got rid of that bass sample at 0.33. parallel compressed the snares just a tad, little more saturation to the bass with some widening on the high end. hope it 'attacks' abit harder (and some other small changes, i forget). left the drums intro in there though, incase i ever dj with this and need to mix it in from the beginning.

@crckrs: maybe i'll enable downloads when i'm finally happy with it

It's getting better, but I just believe it needs some fine tuning on the mastering.

To me that bass at the start is much 'louder' than the main bass, you made everything before the first drop -1 to -2 dB right? and then the drop is 0 dB??? I've got some very good headphones on and it just doesn't have the punchy drop that it deserves.

The different drops are definitely a plus, you could still even go a bit further will them, the snares don't quite sound too right, just something about them, maybe a punchier snare.

The thing at 0.33 seconds at the start still catches me off guard, like "why is that there?", it sounds as if it should be in a build up, getting louder, and I know anti build ups are good, but it's not even an anti build up haha? any reason for having that there??

This is just my opinion, but the track would sound good if it went like this,

Get rid of the intro, start the song with the noise at 0.33, with the quiet clap noise underneath it, use that as an anti-build up into the 0.34 synth and then proceed with the song as is, would be sick. BUT with a louder drop, double up the bass and turn one to %50, it just doesn't attack me like it should!

thanks for the feedback ham! i assume by intro bass you mean when the chords first filter in with the bass, and i agree, some weird high end buzzing going on there. will definitely fix that soon and do the -1/2db before drop thing too, thanks a bunch! anyone else got anything to add?

Nice work, sounds really neat!

First off, this is just a taste thing, but the intro bass sounded horrible, was too top end and the gain sounded wrong on it, my headphones where struggling to hold it together.

Break downs where cool, the one at the start (33 second mark) sounds out of place and the transition between that and the sound at 34 seconds could be smoother.

Drops were cool, but it would be even better if they were different, they both had the 'can opening' sound?? maybe just a vocal or something different will make it sound more unique and not like you're repeating yourself.

Also, something else with drops is to make everything before hand and the breaks inbetween 1/2db lower, so -1/-2, gives the drop more punch, literately.
