Hey guys,

Love the idea of this forum, hope to get some good feedback here!
A little bit about me...
I started DJing around 4 years ago, producing 2 years ago. So obviously I'm pretty raw so I'm really looking for some constructive mixing feedback.. I feel like I have a good sense of song structure and understand how to process some drums but outside of that, I'm really missing that 'shine' that all (relativity) new producers struggle to achieve with their tracks. This mix is really bass heavy due to mixing on two Rokit 5's without a sub (should have listened in different environments ie car, friend's stereo, etc) but I view my music at this point purely as stepping stones towards a better product in future years. However, getting that "hey man, this song bangs" complement certainly would improve my morale in terms of sticking with making music.

So anyway, here is the soundcloud link. Let me know what you think, good or bad. I know it's not Slander or NGHTMRE, but hopefully you'll get the idea and can give me some thoughts for my productions going forward.

Thanks

Praise bro!!! I love getting that I have only been producing for around a year and I absolutely love getting those. but i love the track man, the clap is a little loud like RxD but you have a lot of potential!

I really like the feel of this track! Nice, long but to-the-point intro. I really like the melodies. Personally, I expected/hoped for the drop to have more melodic elements, to explode in a firework of synths and arps and tastefully placed white noise and all that. But I guess it's a matter of taste. Good job 

See, I had that same sort of vision for the drop too but I tried a few and couldn't find anything that was transparent enough. This is probably a topic for anther time but the Cash Cash sort of 1/64th type arps in 'Take me home' 'Surrender' etc was what I was shooting for but I'm still looking to find a solid tutorial on how to reproduce that sort of sound.
