I think it is so much better now. All I did really was add a pad to it and extend the build up at the end but it was a ton of work!

If anyone hears anything off please let me know, also if you like it please let me know too!

I like it. Smile

The only criticism I might have is that it might need a little more bottom end. The kick is a bit thin.

Other than that, I love the energy in this piece, and it's very pleasing to my ears. Smile

Thanks for the constructive advice! I am glad your ears like it Smile

I agree compared to some of my other songs the kick sounds thinner. I think I could add some bottom end just to the kick to fix this.

A nice light touch on here, with pleasant melodic contributions. That snare might benefit from just a little more LF as well. Not too much, or the track will lose the light vibe that it currently has.


Good work Smile

Thank you also for the good comments. I just went back and put a little more bass on all the drums with the master drum buss. Actually a touch of high end too, but not much.

If anyone has any more constructive criticism I am all ears. I stayed up all night doing this so my ears are sort of shot. It helps to get feedback like that!

I think that's better. Those drums have a "fuller" sound without upsetting the mood of the track Smile

Yes, it sounds much better now. As seismic1 said, fuller.

Nicely arranged and a really pleasant listen - the different synth lines work very well together. Lovely work!

I agree, well done. Deceptively simple synth lines, this stuff is harder to do than imagined.
And you do it very well.
