hi,
so this is my first psy - and hopefully(!) proggy ) - track
i'm producing (or better reading isratrance, learning and jamming around) for 2 years now and finished 2 or 3 tracks up to now.
so, this is no. 4!
after 2 or 3 days with maximum loopitis i decided to finish the song as it is.
so every(!!!) comment is very welcome. so what do you think?
hope you like it!!!

Great track,; I listened to it from start to finish. The only critisism I can give is that you could vary the bassline here and there a little bit. I'm new to the genre as well, so if you want to share some of your production techniques, I'd appreciate it. For instance, what DAW was it made in? What synths did you use? I really liked the kick. How did you make it?

thx!
i made it with ableton live8
synths :
Battery (Drums, background percussion) - The drums are often bounced, sliced, glitched and then processed with reverb and delay ... fun fun fun Massive (for leads and pads)
Synth1 (fx, stabs, up/downlifter)
Vanguard (squelchy leads > 06:00 min)
and FM8 (pads)
and some samples ... but at least all processed with timestrech, pitch, chorus, delay and reverb
and finally here's the the kick : http://www.4shared.com/audio/KgLJ1r_y/Kick_001.html (needs some low freq eq'ing in your DAW maybe)
i guess i used the Hoffmann kick from "Alias Kicks 1" pack (somewhere here in the forum) and eq'ed and sampled it again and again and again ... )
the last 2 days were just work ... no really fun at all

I agree that the bassline could use some variation from just offbeat.
You have some nice sounds going on, but at times it does feel a bit too busy, which results in a boxed, muddy sound. I think you could shorten down a few of the sections and try to play around with muting and unmuting elements some more - this will result in more variation, and will also give each element more space to breathe in the mix. It also needs some more EQ'ing.

the track is fine but the bassline is really bad cause it has no variation at all. add some variations, maybe change to three note bassline at some point and you got a good first track.
you need to use filters on all your leads and effects!
at some point the leads eat up your bass completely.
You need to push all leads through a highpass filter (a good one) at arround 120 - 240 Hz so that you bass and kick will have more room.
) - track
... don't know exactly why
