Not complete yet, getting there though.
The percussion is as deep as I like, and the bass still doesn't have the grind I want out of it, but its closing in there. Also have a couple parts that need to be mixed in live, because who wants to change a hundred midi notes velocity one by one?

Oh fuck, my brain.. Mind destroying track 2 things ive thought:
bass could be better i think
atmosphere could change a bit sometimes, as jeeboomba said, but not a critical thing IMHO
Nice work http://soundcloud.com/taii
Yeah, I don't care for that bass, just can't seem to get that grind out of it for some reason or another. I will just match it up with one of my other tracks, maybe it's just sitting on an odd note or something silly.
I meant that I felt the percussion wasn't deep enough, though I do like what is there. It probably needs something more driving/rhythmic to push things along which I think will also distract from the atmo as well.
I do agree with the snare though, and will take a look into that for sure, thanks for catching that!
When you are mentioning the atmo parts, are you referring to that stabby pad lead I have working? I'm thinking so, and it does get sort of repetitive I do agree with that.
I keep the mix in the front of my mind with my productions, how do you guys think it would work in that context?
I also have another version of that synth that takes a similar rhythm and amps it up to the point of out of control. I will try to stick that into the final build measures and post that with the update.
Also thanks a bunch for checking it out and posting your thoughts! I'll try to have an update today yet.

I got the bass mostly sorted out, it was sitting on one of flat keys, hence the reason I couldn't get it to work right. Not a fan of the bouncy bass sound myself so it will be a grinding one by the time its finished.
I totally agree on the kick, 120%.
I never liked the running my percussion through the same fx, I think every instrument needs its own tuning, even if it is just a slight difference.
Had a massive headache last night so I only got into a few fixes, nothing worth updating over.

Never heard of any of that, but I will go check it out. I am deep into the style coming out of SA right now, Frozen Ghost, Ironstein, Rubix Qube and so on, plus I still have a lot of hardcore in me.
Personally a lot of the psy I have heard is too complicated, maybe unnecessarily is a better description. I hear a lot of stuff where people just add more sounds just for the point of adding more sounds, to me it just takes away from purpose of the track.
I will probably carry on with the more techy percussive atmosphere to push through the song.
Here is my first meaningful update to the track, actually decided to square one most all of the percussion, bass is much closer to what I want, and I shortened it up a bit.
