My entry to the first Underground Collective, found here: http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1405471
I was listening to a lot of @Jumper when I started this, so I decided to mess around with some trap-style hats.
I also made some wobbles for the first time, and they turned out pretty well.
Feedback much appreciated!

Everything seems decent here, those crazy hats get together with the beat well, the only thing that bothered me the most is the background lead. It seems too deep and 'helpless'. You could try filling in some mid-high frequency instruments to support the lead. The wobbles were nice, great placement of FX. Loved those wind chimes. Again those wobbles at 2:42 are good.
Pretty good track overall, Keep it up!

Hallow responds:

Yeah, I don't really like this synth as a lead anymore.
I probably should have added more stuff in the mid-highs outside of the drops, as I agree, there isn't much support for the lead.

As stated below, I like the instrument you used for the main melody, and it's interesting for the melody to be siting in the background. I also like the bassline you used, it was somewhat playful but still managed to fit properly with the rest of the song.

I also agree with below when he said sometimes the song feels a little empty, but I feel like that's personal preference on my part - the genres I listen to usually comprise of huge mixes that fill pretty much every frequency in the spectrum.

I think one of the main features of this track is that the choice of percussion that you used, making the track very chill (to me at least). The kick isn't a loaded dubstep kick, and the snare is quite gentle. I'm not sure if chill is what you were going for here (going off the choice of instrument for the melody, I would guess that it is), but that was a very nice way to do it.

I did feel like some of the transitions were a little odd, for example at 2:40, at the final measure of the snare roll, you cut out all melodic elements, and that sounded a little odd to me. I think it would've sounded better if you faded something out (like what you did at 1:39) rather than cutting off the sounds suddenly.

Overall, this was quite enjoyable to listen to, so good job. Keep it up :)

Hallow responds:

Having listened to some of your stuff previously, I definitely know how huge mixes work. xD
That said, this was a bit empty and I could have put more stuff in.
I was going for chill at the start, then kinda loosened up a bit because the drops weren't as chill.
The transition at 2:40 was something I was questioning a bit, but I decided to just leave it alone in favor of keeping the same melodies. I probably should have added something in there.
Glad you liked it!

Fun, energetic and very enjoyable piece.
It's interesting how you made your melody line using a "background-esque" sound, those wobbles give a nice change to the track's pace. There are some moments when the song feels a bit empty, but it isn't necessarily bad. A deeper reverb on the snare could give this track some extra strength.

Hallow responds:

I'm never using the sound as a constant lead again. xD
Glad you like the wobbles.
About the reverb, I tried to get a nice sound out of it - anything else sounded a bit like a dog barking. :P
