I like the mix and overall sound of the drums. Very cool synthesizers you've used too. This track definitely makes me want to move. The synths get almost too loud around 1:30 though, if you lower them, you could make the overall song louder. Cool stuff man!

As Acrylic said, the drums are a little 80's R&B and the stuff youd find on the Vengence electro cd are superb and would deffinately help out.

The only thing i could probly recommend is to try and use quite a few loops in your tracks for the time being, and work on your sound designing. e.g.

pull some drum loops into your Daw, start them all off, and then over the top of them really spend a good bit of time trying to replicate the sort of sounds you hear on electro tracks. saving them as presets as you go.

Maybe do a day on leed lines, then a day on pads and strings, a day on bass's E.T.C..

That way when it comes to making you track you have a whole host of ready to go presets that all fit the style your doing.

Some people would probly recommend you do it the other way round (drums first then presets) and to be honest drums are one of the most important things in a track but both ways are fine, im just giving you the version that worked for me.

The reason im recommending this is because before you know it you will be able to master all the tools to get you well on the way to beat making heaven just think of it as the Audio version of the Karate Kid "Wax on, Wax off" :)

Hey, me again, This one os better than the other one i listened to. I think my criticism on this track would be compression, remember to put all the drums in the same compressor and push the beat flat. Also i think the vocals you used/recorded are in a diferrent tempo than you put them. All the best, potential once again.

Hey! I think this has potential, but there are some essentials missing. A Punchier kick maybe, some hats in between, and some sidechaining on the bass to start otherwise the layout was cool and ideas Flowed well. Check out Vengeance for some good Electro Sounds. I know the right kick can be hard to find.
