There you go chap.br

Its a good start but there are some things that could make it work better. First up I would try EQing the sounds, Brighten the top ends and cut the lows of the leads and do a bit of panning to help sit the sounds properly. This will help to liven the track up and make it sound clearer. If you do do this work on each sound individually, as each element will need different adjustments. Until recently I used to think that this never made a huge amount of difference, but when you get the knack of it you will know what creating space means.br

Also the key change could do with a much bigger drop, the way I now look at my tracks are the build is as important as the drop, you need it to be creating tension, building energy and finally erupting into a heavy sound (and alot of side chaining in Dutch). It helps to bring in elements of the drop into the build as this currently feels like two different songs (I often pitch bend/filter the drop elements into the build). I have uploaded something I’m working on to show you what I mean, that beep is the element that gels the two contrasting styles together (ps it will sound quiet as its still in the making aha).br

Anyway I hope I haven’t disheartened you in any way, but these tips will help to make a really strong track. As I said these are all refinements!br

Keep up the good work :)br

Cheers for the reply buddy yeah Ill kepp working on it I cant seem to find a way to make good builds with snares every time I do it it sounds terible have you seen any good tutorial on how to do it??
I use ableton, so just drop a drum rack onto a track, choose a couple of snares, eq them to crispen them up, compress them and if needs be limit them. Screw fidelity on military drums aha!
Nice track! Additionly to what xpa wrote ( very good tips xpa!) for my taste, the stabs and synths could be with a bit more grip. I mean they coud have some more attack maybe you drop a compressor on it with very fast release and longer attack. And then regulate the attack until the first transients, or how you wish, are coming throgh. Naturally you regulate as well the treshhold and the ratio. how strong the compressor needs to work. Than evrything gets a bit quiter but this you can catch up with the outputgain. So like this you enhance the attack of the synths and they are kicking and slapping you better. As well the release-shape of the synths could be a bit shorter so you get as well a bit more transparency and definition. Be carful as well with the Reverb on it, i think its a bit too much, this as well can take the power of the elements.
cheers for the comments lads ill take itr all on board
I liked the panning of the high pitched plucks at 5:56, but please take the kicks outta those few seconds, itll emphasize the drop more when the kick goes back in. Overall, interesting tune, the highs definitely need some sizzle and sparkle but I think this track has potential
