- The kick at the beggining, sounds like something is missing... It sounds a bit.... dry ?
Maybe add some reverb ? Or layer it with a bit more punchy kick ? Messing with the dynamics ? Not sure.
- Simple suggestion, you could try adding a clap (or even a snare) with the kick at some point too, to bring more variation.
- For the reverse bass, not much i can think of here, sounds good to me (maybe turn up a bit the volume). One thing you can try to do is going to the channel settings of the reverse bass and enabling the fade stereo option in the precomputed effects. Then mess with the pan and volume, you can get a really neat effect like that.
- Maybe it's just me, but i think that the reversed ride/crash should be a tad louder
- Screech. Ah. A good ol' screech like we love them. You could just try to make it vary a bit more, even if it's just a second pattern.
- The "Nu-style" kick. A really cool kick, just the punch seems to have some unwanted noise when it's pitched up, might want to fix that, if you can (i totally understand how much of a pain in the *** these kicks are to make), that is, unless it's just my imagination.
- The melody is perfect for me. In my opinion, that melody totally fits the track. I Love it <3 (reminds me of one of trance generators's recent track, haha)
And also, you could give more flavour to your track with FXs, FXs kicks, sweeps, ambient sounds, hits, and little things like that.
Kick in the beginning is just a mixing intro probably why its basic sounding.
I kept the percussion a bit low in the mix, had it louder at first but imo took away from the screech.
As for the reverse bass, I'll probably just end up cutting off all panning below 300hz when mastering, thanks for mentioning fade stereo though, I always forget about it.
And yeah it's more like a oldskool inspired track, so I see where you're coming from with the "between nu and oldskool" comment.
thanks for the feedback mate. quite in depth, I'll probably mess around with the mix some more.
