Only had a very brief listen. Really nice energy on this track but I feel the snare is too high in the eq, try cutting off some of the highs on it, it'll make it sound more embedded in the tune and naturally reduce its level.
@seannash: You're quite right about the vocals, this is virtually my first time recording vocals, and too be honest I don't know what I'm doing yet! they do sound a bit dry, I'm really not sure how to treat them... will do research and experiments. Sometimes I add a vocoded layer on top like I did for "shape and form" but I'll try your delay idea so I don't mess with it too much. Or maybe pan the male vocals left, female vocals to the right and bounce across with delay. I also spotted a missing cymbal crash! grrr Glad you liked it! Let me know if you have any other ideas for vocals, much appreciated!
@griff: I think the snare in particular is giving this impression, I think it you be turned down a notch (especially in this section): the "live" snare you have in there gives fits very well with the feel of the track but you could try to Eq your snare drum down so it peaks at 250 Hz, take some of the harshness away. When you have everything in, I think this volume is right, it is DnB afterall!
@Audio Air Mastering: Thanks that means a lot coming from a mastering studio! This is the first of my tracks that I spent some time trying to master. I did a lot of reading on the subject but to be perfectly honest, every single piece of this track was done using Logic so I'm not sure how good it can really get.. Was a lot of fun learning about/from it though!
This sounds really good, you've got all the elements of a disco banger in here and I really like the way you transition between sections of the track, smoothly done!

There there, you can take a deep breath and relax now ;-)
Very nice track!

This track is awesome, everything is in the right place, great arrangement. Nice to hear this side of DnB represented!
Getting my glow sticks ready for that drop! nice one ;-)

I love the live feel on this one but I think the snare is a tad loud?
@seannash: Thanks!
great track!
Was listening to the original (they really went to town on the bass line with side-chain compression!) I like what you've done to it, good job!

@Beamline: Actually I would recommend doing this on all parts that have this stutter vocal
Add a bit of delay to carry the sample through the next couple of bars?
