Try to shift the beat every once in a while, that would spiced it up nicely i think. And try to add some sub bassline in there, it sounds a bit 'empty' in the low/sublow areas

What did you make it with btw?

Yes very nice track, dig the drum work and that drawing bassline, works for my ears and sounds good on my monitors

im not sure how to work in sub basses. I dont have a sub at home just near field monitors. I think thats something i need to buy soon

. I made this track with cubase, Kontakt, Reaktor, and a Roland MKS-50.

You can hear/feel subbasses just fine on the average nearfield monitor. What i meant is that your track still sounds a bit too slim/empty in the low EQ area. Just a nice bassline would do it, or a good compressor and some EQ'in on the bassdrum would too i guess.

You don't need a subwoofer to hear basses. On the contrary, for music you definitely need to turn your woofer OFF if you want some proper sound. The only thing it does is boost the sub frequencies (+/- <50hz) and you don't want that with music... (at least not when producing

)

Ofcourse it sounds good to have a really heavy bass during playback, but you only want this when playing a song, not producing it. If you turn on your sub(s) while producing you'll end up with a song which is too soft in the low-area's because it's boosted while you prelisten during producing and you tend to cut off the low's too much when EQ'ing. When producing you need a sound from your speakers (including acoustics in your room/studio) that is as neutral as possible. That means: no boost in whatever region, nor high nor low...
