Hi everyone, can you have a listen to this track I'm working on and let me know what you think of the mixdown, levels, etc. Link:

I honestly really like what's there, and to say that from such a small ammount of song is saying alot really. It sounds like Hardcore should be; i'm very interested to hear the rest!

Really well done, what did you use to mix it down?

personally i would have a different bass to yours, possibly 2 layered saws detuned one octave up (one) and one normal with maybe some type of chorus and multiband compression. Also, this isnt really personal, but the bass needs more bottom end. maybe you turned it down for mix down purposes or you had to compress it to avoid going near 0 db but i think it needs quite a bit more bottom end.
Kick is great, nice sound. the synth is also great.
Now the mixdown, i think the mixdown is absolutely superb. Good work on that, very good work on that.
perhaps make it into a song rather than a loop, because it sounds good.
Niceone.

Sounds good. Can't comment on any of the technical spiel but vocals were a little low volume wise.

Thanks for the feedback, I used FL Studio for the lot.
Novaboy: I'll look into tweaking the bass a little, it sounds quite full on my setup so it could be a speaker thing.
Ruroken: Yeah, I agree the vocals are a bit on the low side, that's easily fixed :)
Thanks again, I'll post an update soon.
