    Nice man, i like this. Its something i could see myself producing. which i dont see a lot of.

    Ok, i'll see if i can give you some production tips -

    Its a bit loopy at the moment, it kind of drags on until something new comes in, and after the main kick drops, there isnt a lot much waiting there. Your kick isnt deep enough, or it isnt sitting right with the bass, try deepening the bass and sidechain the kick to duck the bass slightly when it hits. Those little atmospheric pads sound cool as ****, bring them right out of the mix, really widen them up and eq them to sit right. Id also try and add a bit of crunch to your percussion layer to make it a bit dirtier.

    Really nice this tho man, its got a lot of potential. Build on the atmospherics of the track and then decide where you want to go from there.

    Good work dude,

    But as for the track itself, very nice :clap:

    I like it quite a bit. Sounds really good in my phones according to me. Fix whatever bugs you feel are needed, then finish it. You should have a few offers on this one when it's done. :clap:

    This is Uber Cool!!!

    First of all you managed to post a clip thats longer that 2 mins :clap: ;) Think thats worth an applaus :lol:

    Enieways about the track.... IQ already said most of it actually... but it takes kinda long when the main kick kicks in.. ( that looks weird) dont think that is a problem, maybe just work a bit more to it... I'd try to build up the tension a bit more... When it finally kicks in its dope!!!! just do some smart nd freaky edits and you should lose loads of the loopyness!!!! aw and more dirt like IQ said wont hurt anyone

    finish it man!!!!

    nice track, man. like the synths,, bring some nice atmo in it,. maybe some more hook,,or noise here and there could be added,,but sounds cool as it is,. production is cool,.i think. maybe i would go down with compression littel bit and let it be more dynamic,,ithink,,but nice,as it is. :clap:

    i like it, and i agree with a lot of what bloodstar says. the atmospheric sounds are really nice and spooky, and overall it sounds pretty good. what it could use more of is dynamics and flow. right now it maintains roughly the same energy and feeling through the whole track, even though the sounds and patterns are changing. i think that adding some tension and release would give the spookyness even more impact, and make this a killer. :)

    This is great!!
    Really like this this.

    Production wise this is pretty good.
    I`d say those main shakers are too loud and a bit too dry though, they are dominating the track.

    Could do with some more depth in the low end to give this a little warmth as well.
    Solitary by nature.
    Isolation is the gift.
    Does anyone have courage to stand apart any more?

    nice, love the atmospherics in the background, and that percussion sound thats rolling away in there, haunting stuff, especially the way it moves in the stereo field

    love the way the track changes too, really good stuff, agree on the shakers being a little dry

    wow big love for the feedback people very positive and helpful and loads of good advice to work with thanks alot :love:

    Will see what I can do with those shakers and there dryness and bring down there level perhaps,two problems I had not noticed if im honest.

    Will also see what I can do about the bottom end too.
    Seems to be a problem with most off my tracks the lack of bottom end fullness and warmth.
    Not sure wether to takle the problem with the master eq or by focosing on the kick and bass itself.....or perhaps its the compression?
    Will look in to all options.


    Thanks :clap:
