Constructive criticism gratefully appreciated.

Hoping that someone will take a listen and provide feedback on my latest track that was produced firstly in X1 then completed in X2.

Hope you enjoy.

    Thanks Swamptooth. 

    Mainly Fabfilter Twin 2 for all bass, synths and Risers.

    Reaktor micro prism was also used during the first Breakdown.

    Drum sounds were cut up and processed from Sonar Content loops.

    At first, I liked the tune but thought it a bit long.  After the second listen, I enjoyed the subtle build up of the texture, and I'm impressed that you created the drum tracks from Sonar content.  This has the potential to be the soundtrack for a video or movie segment.  You may want to think about the ending for this piece, but that's just a very minor nit.  All in all, well done.

    All the best,
    Lynn

    nice job with the sonar content loops. did you split individual drums out and rearrange them or load them in a soft synth? fwiw dimension pro handles rx2 files very well. :D

    @Lynn, thanks for the feedback I agree regarding the length of the Track It could probably do with a bit more variation in the later part, I will keep this in mind for future productions.

    @ Swamptooth, The sonar content loops were cut up to obtain individual hits that I liked, then copied, pasted, processed and bounced into new loops and then arranged. Some hits such as the snare were layered from three different snares to form a single composite snare sound.
