The part to the break....It can be beter, doesn't like that sort of bass line what you use much.
I love the drums in the break Smile

The melody from the break is great.
A good follow-up melody Wink

we're all lazy i guess....but i had a listen to your tracks now Smile

both of them are ok...but needs some improvement to sound professional i think...

i liked Words better than Back Then....it simply got a better melody according to my ears Wink

keep on producing...maybe you can try making new versions of your tracks? keeping the best parts and improving the rest Smile

OK, here's my opinion. Keep in mind that I do not DJ or produce.

I think that both of them do need some improvement to sound professional.
I liked Words better than Back Then. Actually, I thought that Words sounded more professional. I didn't really like the bass you started with on Words- not very crisp or professional.
I liked the melody on words better than Back Then. I really liked the intro in Words- that fading into the melody was done very neatly, sounds great. I think I would put in a different kind of bass or something instead of the artificial hand-clap sound on Words. The melody is great- I especially liked the new sound introduced about 3:00 in. Though maybe it would be better to use a more varied melody- you use the same basic one with little variation which makes the tune a little boring by the end. And I think heavier bass through the entire track would have helped.

Well, that's my unprofessional opinion. I hope it helps. Very Happy
