New mix. I put a lot of work into this. There are many bass patches. I never used this many bass patches before in a techno track. I wanted to see if I could make 1/16 beats work with bass sounds...tricky, but I did find a groove.

Made with zebralette and reaper...proving that zebralette is a good synth which can do diverse sounds

Ah yes, I see: Bass has a completely different, powerful significance in techno
(compared to rock, etc).

Your bass sounds really good: full, rich in overtones, clearly defined, and cool.
Really well done, and I think it's clear you invested a lot of time. I also like the
change/break in the middle: Here the synth plays without any bass at first –
this makes the contrast when the bass kicks in particularly noticeable.

Overall: Superb sound, powerful and clear! Well done!

Thank you. This reply shows you took the time to give it a chance. It's hard being an unknown artist on this forum. Thanks again.

nice track. bass is really tight and layered well imo.

if i were to give any feedback it would be that it goes from the drop to the end of the track quite quickly and perhaps you could have added a few more bars to help out any dj who wanted to play the drop but still have time to blend in the next track (the tracks interesting enough for you to add a few more bars here)

thx for the feedback, I might make an extended mix

After careful listening, I noticed that there was a mixing issue with the kick, as tedious as this is...the reverb tail of the punch was dissonant with the sounds because of the pitch of the entire track (the tail can be pitched slightly lower to fix it). This conflict can't be heard on speakers but can on headphones, so for now I hope nobody listens to this mix through headphones.
