This has MUCH more of a Timbaland vibe going on with it than your other two tracks. Your choice of percussion instruments and the drum program itself are much more in line with what timbaland does. You might want to have a simple and brief little transition into the gated synth part to help bring the listener into it and establish it as the hook. I think there is a pad under the gated synth part but its hard for me to tell since I'm on crappy laptop speakers right now. If there is no pad I might try to add a pad there. Also, the piano chords you hit at the end of the piano sequence are a little on the pop side IMHO. I don't know if you should necessarily change that, but thats probably an area that I would play around with a little.Nice Job!-Steve

Hey Jude,Much, much better than the first two tracks we heard!This is sounds a lot closer to Timbaland especially in the drums sounds you used. The gated synth is very reminiscent of ICEBOX.Well done!Cisco
