Review my track and I'll review yours!

I was kind of expecting that open hi-hat to come back in when the beat sorta drops around 2:27 though.

Hmm, I get what you mean.

But from what I've heard, it's also a common "trick" to bring in the lead synth almost solo after the big drop, and after that add the percussion as the song progresses to further enhance the feeling of "go" in the song.

Now that you mention it I have heard that technique before. Yeah the production sounds good I just don't really care for house music so I can't offer much help.

Np, as long as it sounds reasonably leveled

Piano sound still really loud, maybe it should be a bit more in the background. But I'm in the sound making since 3 months ago, I'm a fucking newbie so.... I'm not pretty sure about my advises lol

I'd try adding some ambients aswell to increase song dynamics (sound a bit static to me, not really groovie). Something like marching snares or so comes to my mind... maybe you want to try it¿?¿?

I'm not an english speaker (I'm from Madrid "city of wankers"-Spain) so its really hard to describe, sorry if my words are not the appropiate dude, I'm doing my best

here's mine: http://soundcloud.com/makemusicnotmissiles so you can call me every name in the book haha

laters!

No worries I'm new at it too. Your English is pretty good. I listened to "China Lady", is that a Passion Pit sample in there? The track's not bad, the part starting around 2:10 needs some work. Although I see that you didn't do any mixing, so I guess that makes sense.

yes, it's passion pit
no man, its not mixed or mastered, its really hard for me to get a good mixing or good sound quality. And totally agree with you, every song and part of mine needs some work but you know, step by step

Ok I tried it one more time. I turned the gain on the master limiter way down as well as some of the levels. I'm also using one of the mastering racks with a bit of mid gain.
