   I was wondering if this track works, it is called Come Here. A link can be found below. I wrote this a few months ago and released it on IUMA.com. I was listening to it the other day and thought that it could use some work. Any ideas?

   I really like it actually...
   
   neat percussion, the kick is a bit weak IMO though.
   
   the low 303 bassline is a tiny bit too loud... maybe you should try putting a compressor on it?
   
   The lead is a bit loud as well, just drop the volume a little bit.
   
   I dont really care for the sound of the lead. Its not "harsh" enough IMO. Try boosing the filter frequency a bit and maybe a little bit of resonance.
   
   What are you using to produce?
   
   As far as structure goes its pretty good, I prefer a bit longer of a breakdown but that's all in personal taste.
   
   Good work, theres still some work that could be done but the track has promise. :)

   Thank you for your advice. Unfortunatly, I lost the original file when I got a nasty virus. I will try and re-create it.

   Sharp Laptop (Not sure the brand, I'm on a different computer)
   It has and AMD 1800+ with 256 mb RAM and a 40 GB hard drive
   
   Software:
   
   FL Studio 4.12 Producer Edition
   Synth1 DXi
   Dreamstation DXi

   I also have plenty of samples and several other VST and DXi instruments.

   Yeah your percussion is definately too quiet , the leads and bass over power it. id boost the volume of all the percussion. melody is pretty good . and like trancefuzion said put a copmppressor on the kick. I dont care much for the ending. But overal its a decent track.

   I pretty much agree with everyting said above... One thing I would to tho, is to change the 303 bass sound itself to another sound which fits more to the kick. Or maybe change the kick to fit the bassline, I dunno :P
   The melody is ok, not bad.
   
   Overall sounded ok. work on your mixing and leveling on some instruments is my tip..
   
   Keep it up!
