Quite nice... First thing that came into my mind is that I don't like basedrum. I think you should also use some reverb or pan those hihats etc. a bit more. One thing that also came into my mind was that I would drop down the volume just a bit of the sound which comes in at 0:15. Vocals sound really nice.

These are the things that popped out somehow but it's just my opinion [img]smile.gif[/img]

I personally love the original track by Dwele... and I believe Franck Roger also did a remix.

Now, this is my (personal) opinion. I am not so keen on the buzzing sound that comes in at 1'15 and also the riff in the background which becomes a bit too overpowering compared to the other elements at some point. I think. I would have kept it a little more minimal myself. Dwele voice is great and some nice keys and pads would be enough to compliment the vocal and make a really cool track. Also as said above the bassdrum is little too loud or maybe too bassy, maybe try overlaying some different kicks. Also I found the hats a little too loud. I would work on the mix and try to adjust the levels of all the different parts so everything becomes one as some of the elements really stand out compare to others.

Anyhow very nice work! [img]graemlins/respekt.gif[/img] What's set-up do you use? [img]smile.gif[/img]
