117 - Good arrangement and musical content in this one, about the right amount for commercial dnb.  Drums and bassline are very Pendulum-ish, with heavy drums and grinding reece.  Not too keen on breakdown section before the main breakdown when the drums came in for a while.  It seems to get a bit mashed up there, but rest of the track is well made.  The levels are well balanced and its mixed and mastered well.  Melodies make me think this is Jossi/DMJ.  Great track, I enjoyed it.

very commendable main lead... i mean that wahhing thing.. Smiling sounds really great. i think just your tune has too many hi freaks Smiling ansd there is too much of maximizing.. but maybe  this is the idea?

overall - interesting job Smiling

In really ;like this one

In really ;like this one though its one of the first i've heard here that i actually thought got better after the intro. The intro starts ofrf as if its gonna be pretty grand but kind of disolves pretty quickly.
Could do with being a bit heavier on sub bass and less treble but overall i really like this one.

Im feeling this one,like the beat & backround. I like the sounds in there, goes good with the track. Like the voice sample at the end too..good stuff


love this intro, very dark

love this intro, very dark drop is heavy m8, wicked quality loving this tune, i feel break should b stronger as the "wah wah" sound is too loud in my oppinion and i feel it gets repetitive quite fast, not keen on the "wah wah" sound i think it spoils the tune but i love the guitar soundin melody at the start of the tune great production i just think the bass needs more sub, love that vocal wicked! but i also think break needs to be more punchy!

Patterns sound nice on

oh my god, I don't know what to make of this, spastic as fuck, so you're already good in my book just for that....
Love the gabber kicks... the vocal hook parts were kinda cheese as fuck too, but that's charming
and the Piano part... oh god
haha

Production/mixdown is a bit rough, but eh, good track!

dot points:

good structure, different parts are easily distinguishable

not really my style but i'll try to be as unbiased as possible

drums need more eq, but they are cutting through well

the breakdown thing is almost gabba like! thats interesting at least, didnt expect it, a good contrast there

a few different layers on your main synthline would add some interest too.

Sorry i'm not feeling this

Sorry i'm not feeling this one at all.  There is some good production, like fx and edits, but for me this tune lacks any lasting impression.


woah, ease off the reverb

woah, ease off the reverb there buddy!

that guitar strummy thing in the intro is totally drowned out, and the stabby reece is way too loud..  Too much high end eq, hurts my ears..

I like the breaks, despite their eq issues..  During the wah wah guitar/reece parts, the guitar is too loud.  Don't force everything up the center.  That's why they invented stereo, so you had more room to give sounds their own space.  This track overall is really too busy.  Too many different elements fighting for the attention.  You have like 3 totally different tracks crammed into one here.

There are lots of good ideas here, but I think it needs a lot of work still.  Take some elements out, not everything has to play at once.  Also, the 'percussion' behind the break is way too loud.

I like the basic arrangment in as much as intro/main part/etc, but at the risk of sounding like a broken record, this track is WAY too crowded.  Crowded in arrangement, EQ, and Panning.

Mix = 2
Arrangment = 3
Total Score = 5
