    Hi guys,

    I've been busy on a new song.
    Some nighttime inspiration made this happen,
    and I'm wondering what YOU think of it.
    My last post didn't get any comments so I hope I will reach some more people this time!
    What should be changed? What could be added?
    Keep in mind this is just a preview!
    Thanks in advance.

    Sounds cool, mate :thumbsup: Maybe on 1:19 you can bring in some percussion (instead of 1:34 where i can hear the first percs of the buildup in that region) so it won't sound that desolated before the buildup, or you can bring some notes variations or something like that too, so the track in all that "0:49-1:50" region will gradually build, supporting the drop/chorus to kick in harder. Also try to imagine and foresee how the chorus should kick in regarding the end of the buildup.

    The chorus/drop part could be also improved, i think that pady supersaw could variate somehow or you can bring other elements along with it because i just
    have a feeling that you can still improve it more.

    Try to focus all your human being emotions into your production in a carefulness way... I don't know if you know what i mean... but try also to predict how would you like to hear it in the end as a listener, not as a producer, because a listener due to his lack of "music making" knowledge he's more emotionally/sentimentally open, even when it comes about dancy electro genres :mates:

    It sounds good overall and also the great advice Evorax said

    Notes: IMO
    Please turn the effects up they are in the mid-stereo field and their volume is low and not edgy
    The mix sounds to basic, i think you need groove it up a bit with a slick melody line
    More punch for the kick drum & and more thick on the bass

    Keep rocking :dancing:

    Thanks! I will put this to good use!
    Already changed the snare part.
    And about the mix..I tried to keep it steady and not too clumsy like a lot of music these days.
    I'm thinking about removing the saw synth in the refrain and add some reverb to create a 'Animals' effect.
    But I hate Animals so i'm not sure if I will do this..
    Just trying to make something people can dance to and not necessarily something I like..
    Too much choices to be made!

    That's right... but anyway... experiment and experiment till you truly feel the song it's done. Also ask some female friends (even male) but some that they have no clue about how music is made, to make you a visit on your place and give them to listen your track and ask them if they feel the song danceable enough. Goodluck! :wink:
