Not really finished yet, would just appreciate any feedback on stuff I can work on production wise, kinda new to producing.

Maybe I just can't hear it, but your track could definately use some sub bass. The synths sound great and the song has a nice groove.

Just my 2 cents.
Keep doing what youre doing man!

Sounds pretty cool, I like the lead synth and the bass. I agree with BokSoo about the sub bass. Maybe a low sub layered with the other basses or EQ the existing bass snyths and bump the low end up. The drums from 0:51 on should be louder too, they should pop a bit more over the bass. I usually use compression on my drums and either leave my synths uncompressed or compress them with the threshold down a few notches.

sounds like it has huge potential, very datsik sounding. Just needs to be bigger. I'd suggest layering and compressing your drum samples (all the percussion needs to come up), using some reverb and dimension expanders to get it sounding wider (variation in stereo 'wideness' is also cool), and some resampling/layering of the drop synths.

And lay off modern talking, I know it sounds cool but people here will give you shit for using it. Instead of MT I'd suggest gentle speech (bend +/-) or meloformant (I think that's what it's called). Try using multiple vowel wavetables and routing the W.t. position/intensity to a single macro. Get some pretty cool sounding synths that way. Frequency shifter is always fun aswell.

Sure_Fire, you took the words right out of my mouth! Very Datsik sounding, and I only mean that in the best way! Other than that, I would definitely try and side-chain your kick to the main basslines to make it pop out more as well as everyone else as far as subs and drums go! Can't wait to hear the rest of this track, mate! Good luck!
