Constructive critisizm welcome, be brutal if it really is crap, otherwise tips and advice would be much appreciated

Cheers for taking a listen man. The wobble in this is really cool actually, I fnd half the challenge with wobble basslines is 'visualising' the way itll sound through a big club system and this feel like it'd translate great.
The two things I'd mention are the breakdown, which builds to a cool second drop but feels sort of aimless through that section, and perhaps the percussion could do with a little more going on to keep the track moving - it is pretty minimally constructed after all.
Cool man, thanks for the tips. I'll mix up the percussion, to be honest I was being a bit lazy with the drums, thought i'd let the snare keep things moving but some shakers and incidentals wouldnt go a miss.
Look of for it in the dubs section in a week or so

Thanks for the input! I'll return the favor.
It's a solid track(I especially like the snare), but you hit the nail on the head about it needing more variation. I'd consider trying to pull apart some of the individual drum elements to create some builds part way through and perhaps even glitch some of them for good measure.
I'd also think about drawing in the wobble as automation in your DAW rather than just altering the LFO rate over measures. It's a little time consuming, but can spice things up. Good luck, man.
Sorry i'm still really newbie. Able to explain a little better ;D. Like changing the octave of it? higher/lower etc?

@Dignan. Thats tune great spacey as fuck. Maybe turn up the kick just a little. The pads are amazing. Wouldn't mind a 320 of this tbh.
Well done

Hey dignan. Liking new beginnings. Like the pads. The mood of it reminds me of omni trio (that's a good thing to me btw.) Liking your beats, bit of an old skool jungle feel to them.
Maybe i personally would add some more filtering or fx to the pad's to change the main parts over the course of the tune. Sonds pretty finished to me though?

@rxcoup. Thats one deep dub you got there. Your shuffles are fantastic and that dirty deep wobble adds such warmth to the track! I thought this was a work in progress thread that songs finnished in my eyes. Except maybe a fade out. Loved it from start to finish great tune

@ Drenster. You've got the drum sounds wrong if you ask me. That kick sounds too flat change it for another one maye 808 909 something with more beef to it. The snare needs a lot more cut in the mix try layering up 3 sounds maybe a clap wid a snare and something else hi end maybe a blast of white noise to really add space. The hats are cool just add some rides or open hats. Build some structure also Intro, Verse, chorus, drop, Chorus,outro or something along those lines. Obviously you don't need an arranged song but I think it helps for the listener. The wobbles are good nice and wide. Lemme guess you used the spread in ableton to do that? The drum patterns are cool just get the sounds right and your away!
Good Luck
