    Wow, why thank you. ^-^ And yeah the vocals are not to stay. i just wanted it there to cover that sound of emptiness when it doesn't have that. And that sig of yours. Is that made by you? I really like that. I like it alot. Mind giving me the mp3 to that as a song? It sounds so nice.
    Hail.

    The snare that comes in at like 0:30 or what really is a pain, destroys the vibe of the song. The stutters are a pretty good idea in general, but they shouldn't be the focus of the song for so long.
    I like the synth choices you made for most of it though, the chords are nice, too. Just when the bass comes in, the entire feel of the song changes so suddenly. Don't know if you intended that, but I can't really say I like it.
    Listening on, the stutters are starting to annoy. I'm waiting for like a synth solo or something that sticks out a little more. Ooooo nice filters at 3:00. That was awesome.
    But now it stopped being awesome because it doesn't end... and now it did end and I didn't like it. Would be worth a shot to not get it out of the filter all the way and put a short break of some sort, then jumping from filtered back to normal, if you get what I mean. Ramp it up to like 70%, then make a quick and more powerful jump to 100%.

    Sounds kinda negative the way I put it, but I found this pretty neat. The chords are cool, I just think you wanted a little too much with the stutters and shit. I'd try and change the percussives up all the way and put this to a more chilled-out mood in general.

    Not at all! I except all kinds of comments! And no worries for me at least. XD I can still go by the fact i'm still far from finished with this song at least.

    Is it the snare roll or just the clap/snare thing after that, like the change in sound?

    Trying to make those stutters, hihat's i think if that's what you're talking about, is one of the hardest things to make in my opinion, which is why they sound so... obvious. And finding and mastering all samples is also hard for me.Any idea on how to fix the bassline(like how should it go)? This song is actually pretty hard to work with compared to my other ones having to do with this. The other problems that you pointed out are things i've actually set aside to fix later. Right now i'm just trying to correct the faults in the things i've already locked in on. I don't know how to say it. lol

    Should i maybe lower the volume of the stutters? Or make some places in the song where it's a simpler or no stutter?

    And yeah, "chilled-out mood in general" that's what i've been trying to get. How would the kick be then? I still do have problems with it.

    Also thank you alot for your input. You post is my favorite since it seems like you really get how music works. Sorry if i sound like a fag here, it's just get really nervous when i find a good post. I hope when i make major fixes, you comment again.

    I'd give the stutters a break every once in a while, yeah. And some passages that have less stutter, so it's not such a huge thing.
    The clap/snare you got really sounds too huge. The drums could just be a bit thinner, maybe some really small bassdrum sound that you compress to hell, just something that doesn't pack so much power. You might try listening to some stuff by Vibrasphere, you'll find some examples of what I'm talking about.

    Hmm i see. Is there a way maybe the kick can be a danceable club like sound while still being calm? Like a move your hips and feel like "alls good". lol

    But how about the bass? I want your help for that too. heh.

    Dunno, you'll probably have to experiment a bit.

    Edit: ok it's good. I fixed the biggest errors.
    Welp, what would you say now uberschall? Not really sure i did too much what you said i should fix, but i did clear up some things that makes this sound a little better. I hope you find that mute and unmute filter thing interesting.

    On the things like about the bass, i just can't seem too fix it too much at all. I've tried a sub-bass, one of those higher pitched kind of bass. Are there songs that don't use basses or could there be a substitute?

    Then, The mood. It still will change at that spot in the song. The new added melody thing makes it a bit more fruity... This song is just so different from all the simpler things i've made...
