@SystematicX1: Not completely my thing. The pitchslides might work but I'm not a fan of the sound. The remainder is okay. Personally feel the kick has a bit too much oompf. Will there also be a bassline?
If less is more think about how much more more would be.

Sorry so long to get back. Yes, there is but my problem is, my sub is one location and my monitors are in another. So, when I get a few minutes to sit down and do something, I am doing so kind of crippled but training myself to do my sub level work at home and my highs and mids on location (wherever that may be). And I should also say that my environment is still kinda new to me as well and still getting used to my home room and when I am traveling the space I am in to. Kinda of a mind f*** at times. This track are simple tests that I am doing as I have been out of the game,but now with new gear. Thanks for the listen though =O)

this is one of the nicest things I have heard posted here, sounds great. yea just would need a bit of a sine sub bas layered under.
my latest mixings, has a few problems with levels and that low tom needs removing, maybe too much sidechain.
So, first impression on your track. To be frank, I really love that mid to lower frequency bass tag. I am working on something "similar" to that bassline and I am curious if you possibly have attempted to work on a higher bpm with this track. The reason I ask is, I feel the compression may be a tad high...yes but, the ducking is not catching up with your kick. Now, I ran into this on another track of mine and I ,farting around and out of luck, sped the track up and poof! It did the trick.
LOVE the filter opening at your 1:00 mark
As much as I dig the bass line, the area that is muddling the effect is the mid range pads. As a suggestion, I would remove the sidechain from those whispering pad tones and let them play naturally. I take notice of this with an example at your 2:08 mark. When your kick stops, those pads flow more because there is nothing to duck on it.
I would really like to continue to see your development on this cut, it has potential.

This WIP could sound much more impressive if you add some kind of driving and dynamic bass line to it - rest is cool so far but few things may need to be adjusted when you will add this future bass line.

Something smooth and easy going but still working on my bassline and kick relationship so if you believe that this combo is not working well together for this style of the music then please let me know

sounds fine, the bass is subtle and works.
personally I like to go harder on the bass so I'd use this track as somewhat of a reference as it fills in more of the space I attribute with sounding there.

common occurrence, me with my bass. I'm looking to get some bigger monitors soon, make life easier for myself. not sure if i'd objectively dig this piece myself if I havent made it.
I seem happier with this one, all the mishmash of transients group into this ball. stuffed quite a bit in, mix seems rough to say the least. also working to make it more interesting.
