sup everybody. I have been working on this electro house track for like a month.
i think i have probably spent like 60 hours or so on this track. the most i've ever spent.
I have to give a special shout out to Flaxo on SA to help pointing me in the quarter note direction.
Recently the project file has been corrupted for this track so its a bitch 2 edit.
I would have liked to do a lil more to it but I am moving on to my next project!
Give it a listen, hope you enjoy it and please comment here & soundcloud!
its in the sig...:cool:

Dude, thats fkn sick… NICE!!!
wiiicked track man I love it 
that breakdown in the middle is pretty cool too
Hey, thanks for the shout-out!
Dig this. Very choppy and cool, which is what (I’m pretty sure) you were going for.
Comments:
I would work on the lead under the choppy effects; it’s the only part of the song that feels really bare to me. Your synthesis chops are clearly there, since you have all of this cool stuff. Maybe run it through some multiband distortion and mess around till you get something very nasty.
Secondly, I would change up the midi during the breakdown and the verse. You’ve got the choppiness in the one shots from basslines and stuff, but the core melody that everything is going over is lacking in midi complexity, and could use some changes, (maybe dotted 8th notes, etc…).
The hardest part is done though: you have a melody, which is more than a lot of people can say. Having a melody is key to making the track sound like it’s really a song, instead of a random assortment of wobbles and things.
Keep working, you’re almost there!

Thanks for the response guys!
Yah I def was going for the choppiness of a track. It was your quarter note tip that helped me make this track. the whole melody was me just messin around till i Found something I liked. Then I tried to do some variations of the melody to make it more interesting.
I totally agree with you on the lacking of midi. Honestly, I didnt even get to do a proper mixdown for this track. My ableton project file got corrupted and then it became almost impossible to mix. I spent like 60 hours on this project, but in reality I had like another 40 hours of work that I wanted to do. Originally I was going to make the breakdown, and drop have another melody over top that was kind a like a guitar solo… but all that went to **** when my project got corrupted.
I def will take your suggestions 2 heart and apply it to the next track I work on. I’m glad you guys enjoyed it! It was a bitch to make, but now that I have the first one under my belt, I think it will get easier for the next one.
my goal for the next track is to make something along these lines…
