    Hey Mr Lyann, here's my 2 euros.

    The basic sound quality, mix and feeling is pretty nice, maybe just fatten up the bass a bit, but I think the arrangement is a little mechanic.
    Then again, this may be how you wanted it, cause it's happened before when I commented on tracks that guys were actually aiming for the very thing that I thought was a bit off.
    But to me the fills in the beat and the underline pluck/melody feels kinda choppy and out of the groove. Like they're working against the track's flow instead of rolling with it and moving it forward. I would try to move those parts and individual notes around a bit just to see if there could be more energy and motion if they were placed somewhat different within the rhythm.

    This is hard to explain, but what I would most wanna hear in this is some element that is a bit more organic and flowing and brings a touch more swing and life into the music. Just personal taste of course.

    One thing I really like is the sound of that nasty lead synth coming in at 1:05 :grooves:

    yeah the synth is pretty neat, your levels on the mix are spiking in the intro, might want to check the compressions and smooth things out a bit. It's a solid song, be interested in seeing the update. The arrangement seems solid too, I think the flow is good, but like Lyann said; some individual sounds are a bit choppy (i think that has to do with the spiking of the volume levels throughout the song). Once it smooths out I think your pluck will sound like it blends more in with the groove ya.

    Nice man.

    The low end "Bass and Kick" seems too low volume wise, which probably is making your low end sounding "too thin", or you removed too much from those parts when you eq'ed them. Try another version with the kick and bass levels, louder in the mix and you could also sidechain them together to maybe add a pumping effect. Then if it still needs more punch and power you could also trying using some NY compression. Also you could sidechain your other hi sounds with the kick using a filter, gate, or compressor, to create a ducking type effect, so each time your kick hits it cuts through making it appear to have more power. Practice makes perfect!!! Keep on working at it and you'll get there man.

    This is really good, sounds very pro. Really good stuff !
    Like previous posters mentionned, it lacks a tiny bit of bass throughout the song.
    Also throughout the track, I feel like you could slightly clean up the EQ at around 100hz.
    Also it's peeking quite a bit for this type of music so a bit more compression wouldn't hurt but go easy on it, just a bit more.
    Good stuff

    Thank you guys so mush for your comments i'll take care of the one as soon as i get to my little studio !

    about the compression and stuff like that, i like to work on low dp so i can hear what's goin' on the track, after i finish the track i usually export then master if it sounds cool then ok, if doesn't i mix them using usually cubase, then export and re-master so all that stuff is for later stuff, but about low freeq, i really can't focus on it as i'm working with my headphones, have to buy new speakers lol

    but really thanks i appreciate the help :) ! :bow:

    and i'll be posting a video explaining how i made the track, (if every think goes well with my CPU :rofl: :bleh: )
