Storm Warning

I guess it's electronic music? I dunno. Hip-Hop? -.- not BOCish though.

this is alright, but those saw waves are too high in the mix(lower them)

good drum programbing

Fuck! Those saw waves are hideous! Lower them and i will listen again.

ok fixed that, I suck ass at leveling/eqing and shit.

The backround noises are way too loud, but this can easily be fixed. They also stop kinda quickly. Maybe fade them out or have some reverb/delay going. This definently needs some more mixing, as the saw waves still seem to be "crushing" the other sounds.

On the other hand: I like the chords the saw plays, and how it works with the background sounds (what is that?), and when the saw wave drops out and the vocal+drums start going off on their own i found myself really enjoying the track. It's nice, albeit very rough around the edges.

yeah im a shitty producer, I need lots of practice in that factor.

The beggining sample is a storm warning they play in my area when large storms are coming in my town.

I didn't like the first most of it, the end part where an 808(ish) sounding drum kit takes over for the "drill" stuff was much nicer, the vocals chilled a bit too and synced up and everything. More like that.

yeah the end is pretty good

Downloaded it.... I'll listen to it over the weekend and tell you what I think of it......

I quite like this, it's the vocals that are the hook for me.

could use a lot of fine tuning to make it better, but I doubt I will ever do it.

not bad..... I thought the lo-fi quality of the voice sample did not quite match the hi-fi tones of the mix. I'm not sure how to articulate that better? Perhaps, try to use some effects to dirty up the saw waves or something. Actually, I would dirty up the drums at parts, giv them some slight static or something. I am a fan of lo-fi sound myself, and I have nothing against hi-fi, but it is just a personal taste of mine that for lo-fi samples to fit in a mix, there must be something else present to sort of show them off. Also, I didn't really feel that the choices of reverbs quite matched at points. Overall, it was enjoyable. Don't take what I say harshly, I'm just making suggestions.
