The Drums sounds great especially the kick and snare, deep heavy dark. Not as keen on some of the bass sounds thou, but overall it does sound pretty good fair play.

Hey thanks for the feedback !

Could you tell me a bit more about what's bugging in the bass sounds ?

Well some of the sounds I think are fine, everything you have in that first section that takes up about a minute is perfect, everything sounds like its belongs together and sits with each other nicely but then there is some sounds like at exactly 1.29 and 1.36 (probably the same synth sound actually) that I just don't think sit quiet as well with the track, sounds a bit out of place to to me. Also straight after the sound at 1.36 it goes straight into another sound and, the level difference between the both doesn't sound right, the one that comes in at exactly 1.36 is quite loud then the level drops dramatically for the next sound, I would try monitoring at different volumes to get a better picture of how things actually sound. Things are going to sound different at different levels, as you can see here:



So although that may sound fine from where you are listening to it, it sounds a little off here. Gotta try strike the right balance so your tracks will work at different levels, different sound systems etc...
I've noticed this with my early productions like "Electrical Storm" in my Sig, I used to also put the kick drum up to high cos that what sounded right with my monitors, monitoring at the level I did. Just try your stuff out on different systems different levels.

I'm just nite picking here thou man, I do that cos I'm a bit of a prick. The track is sound really good thou well done.

Wow I really like the tune in your sig ! Like a lot.

But you know it's fine I'm also a perfectionist. I did checked the places where it seems to go wrong I think I know why the level of the saw wave sort of stab varies. There's a tremolo (logic plugin) with no phase so it just sounds like a LFO + amp sort of routing. Sometimes it doesn't really retriggers in time with this sound so it might be quieter in some places. I have like 4 tracks of this sound some with no tremolo on it and some with different tremolo settings. To fight the tremolo effect that I bussed the 4 tracks to a bus track with a limiter. But I guess I really might have to check once a again the things I did with the bus channel.

I also did a weird thing with the main bass sound. It's a really crunchy sound I made in massive and stacked a ringshifter onto it. I set it to a certain parameter and when I check the sound in a stereo image analyzer it shows something like this : http://rghost.net/16549381

Do you know what it means ?

Btw your productions are trully amazing, such skills really.
