you dropped the ball on this one. if this is your song. sean has you beat...massivly beat.
but it does sound nice. i'll give you that.
bass needs to come up. mixdown needs to be better. needs more energy. chop it up a bit.
keep practicing.
sean has my ass kicked as well.

One may like...one may not...

heh.. someone likes their v-station ;)
the bass stab and kick drum need to be eq'ed to prevent all the frequency masking goin on there and your leads could be compressed a little more.
musically the track is ok, it's just a little too fluffy for my taste, keep at it yo

maybe you should take a listen to lock n load vs. your track.
give credit where credit is due man.
to each his own is meaningless when speaking in terms of skill.

eqing it to the best it can be would make it sound alot better ;), sounds are good. ur melodys are working together quite well. Just yeah, eqing and maby some effects and it would sound alot better than it is right atm.

Im going to give you my honest opinion even though im sure you dont care. Needs alot of work. The lead is kinda catchy but the synths need alot of cleaning up and eqing. Maybe try to find some other sources for synths other then v-station. Tunes ok just needs alot of work and is very flat. Like when the drum rolls him and then it drops it does not give a driving feel that it needs. Keep trying tho.

There is one important think you are missing though, a clap or snare, or both, on every second beat :P

I'm not going to comment on the track itself as my opinions have already been posted by others, however on the promotion side of things....
A tip.... if you want to get a buzz about something (like you very nearly could have done with this track and the whole "I'm better than Apollo" topic) then you have to make sure its polished. Even if its not finished in terms of structure, mix down what you have properly, make it sound pro quality. If it sounds like a demo then thats the sort of comment you'll get  . If this track had been polished to perfection then you'd have got alot of people listening through to it thinking "is he all mouth and no trousers?" and then you could have blown them away with a stonker of a track. I mean you've had Reese listen already, and probably alot of other US players too after your Apollo comments.

True.
The track needs a lot of work in some areas.
The synths are too loud and don't really occupy a comfortable frequency range, at least not to my ears. Also I think I hear one of those ****ing annoying Vangaurd presets.
There needs to be more going on in this track, perhaps a pad backing up the synths and a lot more percussion. For example, a ride cymbal on top of the kick.
God I hate that Vanguard type sound. Take it out plzkthx.
Anyway, my thoughts. But then I'm no pro. Take what you want from em.

What I think they are trying to say is that you should not talk shit about other peoples work then promote your own as better when you dont have it fully completed or pollished.
