This shit is really interesting, love the whole concept. My only comment is that I wish the drums hit a bit harder. Keep it up!

Very much still a WIP...gonna smooth out the transitions a whole bunch and the mix needs some work. This is mostly just a proof of concept I finished in a couple hours, just need to have some more ears to take a listen before I go into the deep end with this one. Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks

Man that bass at the drop is CRAZY.

Couple of things:
-you're kinda at max volume RIGHT from the getgo. Make the build...well...build.
-The chord progression is a tad confusing, though that's a matter of preference.
-the drums in the drop need some work. They hit hard but I really want the snare to be wider, and you could add a clap in there to layer over top of it (have it play just barely before the snare to give it a nice "flam" like sound)

KEEP GOING WITH THIS IDEA.

Well considering you're new to this I'd say you're doing a good job. This might sound annoying, but honestly the key here is practice. Keep listening to stuff similar to what you want your music to sound like. Focus in on one or two elements from a track you really like and try to recreate those. Keep producing, whenever you can....that's the only way to improve.

Right now a lot of your sounds are pretty dry, so I'd focus on your abilities in the realm of synthesis. Sometimes it's an easy add distortion and poof it sounds a million times better, but getting to know a couple of synths is never a bad idea.
If you want some general knowledge on that kind of stuff Seamless has a great set of tutorials called "How to Bass"

As far as the break and intro, yea honestly listening to the music is a good place to start, but a lot of the time the intro and break are re-instrumented versions of the drop themselves...or at least it can be. I usually start by getting a chord progression on the piano, and bring parts of that to different instruments.

The drop will hit harder if you aren't playing at the same volume the entire time. I know for a fact that a lot of the big house/trance producers will even play most of the track down a dB or two until the drop hits, at which point they bring the volume back up to 100% so it hits even harder. Another way to make it hit harder would be to have a bit of a break before hand. As an extreme example, if you were to go silent for a bar beforehand, and have a drum fill right before the drop hits, I think you'd find it will be that much more impactful....sometimes making things hit "hard" is more about the difference between the quiet and loud parts in the song.

Hope this all made sense, keep at it!

Dude. This is the kind of shit I wish I could make. So much creativity in this and you have the production chops to back it up. Nothing to say, stellar work.

Thanks man! The reverby distorty thing started in Harmor with a simple saw based pad and a chorus effect. Then I added about 10 different layers of distortion, and recorded out a sample of c5 by itself...took that sample and brought it into kontakt, added more distortion and chorus, and shaped the envelope into a stab of sorts, and then added reverb. Way too complicated to get the final effect imo, but it worked xD.

Apart from that I totally agree, the drums need some love. I had originally pitched the snare down a bit to give it a bit more beef, but yea it took too much out of the high end. Thanks for the feedback, thinking about releasing an EP  later this year with this as a single on it...so it will definitely be completed.

I mean it sounds pretty complete, though I think you should go back though and do a couple passes of mixing, and make sure the composition is finished at the end. A couple of things here and there stood out of the mix but nothing too glaring. Keep at it! You're almost there.
