This definitely has potential. I don't generally go in for vocals, but this sounds like a track that would be good with one. Another thing I would try would be to get a straight 1/2 beat arpeggiated chord progression (hope that makes sense) going around the low mids.


Keep it up!

Put the drums in half time and add a "whut" chant on the offbeat

OK jokes aside (even though I'm only half joking when I say that) I like the overall "feel" of the track but I feel like the snare/clap doesn't have enough "presence" in the mix. I guess what I'm trying to say is that maybe you should try adding another clap on the 2s and 4s (so I'd be 1 2 3 4) but place the sample 10 - 20ms before the snare giving it a sense of groove in relation to the rest of the beat.

Yeah, I second that. Pacing is wrong. It's too quick. Either change BPM or make the beat and arppegio slower. But potential is there.

Alright, so more changes have been made. I really didn't fuck with the sidechain release at all because I think the groove sounds fine as is. If you guys really think its that much of a problem then i'll look into it, but so far I am really happy with this. I want to add more overall to this song, and vocals are definitely in the works but for now im really thrilled with how this is turning out!

Any other feedback would be dope

Don't hear any problems with the groove anymore. Nice progress!
