thanks loads guys, great feedback & comments
Bass def. needs work, as do the crash cymbals. Still working on tidying bits up with the mix and the EQ's. Computer is horribly taxed CPU & RAM wise, making it a bitch to work with, as the track keeps freezing on me or glitching. Need a new pc...
The main synth has some sidechain compression it, but I wanted to avoid it pumping too noticeably when the kick comes back. Might have been a bit conservative though, will have an experiment about with that.
I'm probably not going to alter the main synth drone sound - I want that to surge and swell throughout and form the basis of the track. Think you got that spot on Siege... and end of the day I'm a simple creature and like simple ideas.
Might look at another random pad/harmonic sound though, Tyrisia I know what you mean in terms of the potential, but I want to try make this work with as few elements as possible. I'll see what another sound adds to the mix.
Cheers peeps
