Been spending far too much time on this. Tell me it sucks so I can forget about it and move on.

Oh yeah I know this feeling. ...having it with almost every track.

This one has a potential, but it needs some tweaking. (Imho: Bass in first half needs better texture, drums in second half need some delicate hihat work, the whole thing needs more raise effects.) If you have a will power to continue, do it. If not, move on. :)

Also I solve exactly the same problem here: https://theproducersforum.com/index.php?topic=2472.0 ...I'd be happy if you could drop similar opinion on this. :)

...but don't overdo it, because that's called being a d***k.

Hold up at the 2:06 mark how did you make that almost talking sound? It's not bad but not good either it's interesting but if you worked on it more it can be better almost has the seven lions feel to it. Always take pride in what you create, no matter hood good or bad it sounds

Is that a back handed compliment? haha.
It is a growl that is chopped up with some amp modulation.
I do enjoy me some seven lions.

No I don't mean it as an insult man, honest lol
That growl is amazing, I mean listen to Seven Lions remix of Above & Beyond You got to go & you'll find that sound in there too.
Mind explaining to me what synth you made it on? I know it doesn't matter what synth you make it on, I'm just interested
But yeah the Seven Lions is real in your track lol

I made it in massive, it's actually a simple growl. What makes it that effect though is how it was panned and modulated in the song.
I could probably share the project to show you.

I tried imitating the noise but all I got was the panning & the growl, that's about it. Can you show a screen shot?

Three things done to make this sound the way it is:

1. Modulated how wet the amp mod was


2. Modulated the volume to give it the cuts


3. modulated the autopan amount to give it some movement
