Once you've made your track, upload it to your profile and then post a link on this thread ALONG WITH THE BANGER IT'S BASED ON (this isn't mentioned in the intro vid!).

More Housey' practice - All I Ever Wanted

Let us hear you!

I agree with Sam. The mix is basically good but a bit muddy and lacking in clarity. The kick is quite dull as well - it could use a touch more transient bite and top end. It sounds a bit set apart from everything else the way it is.

The low mids are an important area of the spectrum when it comes to the mix and can be a tricky one to get right. Too much and it can sound really cluttered and muddy. Too little and it can sound thin. Some parts in the mix sound like they could use a bit of fattening up or excitement to compensate for this, particularly some of the drums.

I'd actually be interested to hear a fat (Deep or Tech) House drop from you that doesn't have any synths or accompanying melodies. You're clearly very good at composing and arranging but the beats and bass are the weaker part of the track. Maybe try a new track that's ultra minimal and just has beats and bass, and maybe some FX or some higher frequency elements but not loads that will mask the groove elements - see how fat and full you can make the groove sound without any support first, and then add all the lush melodies and supporting sounds in afterwards. But send us the groove before you do that so we can comment on it.... it should be easier to hear what needs the most work if you do that too.
