question
why do you bounce your head like that?
the beat is pretty cool, but you arent rapping to it...
 but some like guitar in the sound would be cooler..
 just sayin
other wise preeee sick

why do you steal icons?

having a different icon would be cooler
just sayin

because i made it for me, not for you. its confusing when multiple people have the same icon. so change yours, or ill have it changed.

good stuff, but a few suggestions would be to definitely either play in a lower key or turn your frequency down a bit on the LFO synth, I'd also recommend double or triple layering the same phrasing on that synth with a steady very very low synth, and something fairly quiet and unnoticeable but scratchy at a similar pitch to where your wahwah synth is at right now. Also try adding in and out some 8th note closed hi hats...

overall great stuff though!

what MIDI controller you got? I got the Launchpad recently, it's mad fun.. but I've never worked with Ableton before so I'm mostly trying to master that first before I get into anything too heavy with the Launchpad, I'll post up vids/mp3s once I start mixing shit for real.

I have an axiom 25. Dude ableton is all you need. What type of music you trying to make?

to give you an example, something like this.. basically some grimey ass / upbeat dubstep kinda stuff mixing hip-hop/rap acapellas over it by chopping up the chorus into different loops and dropping a verse or two as well.

here's a good example:
