Lovely melodies Jesse. Spring Break is good.

Music with progressive intent.

Nice relaxing tune, Jesse. It has a pleasant groove and some nice melodic lines. And I think Spring Break actually works quite well as a title. I'm not 100% sure how I feel about the lyrics being indistinct in the manner they are here, though. I kind of like it, but part of my brain really wants to know what the words are.

Are you mental? :lol:

Turn them up again! As a very, very rough rule of thumb my experience has been that the vocal track in your mixer generally will be about the same peak level as a combined mix of everything else. I know someone will come in now and say, 'oooh you can't mix like that..'. I'm not suggesting for a moment you should, but it will give you a rough idea to get started.

Even if the vocal line is more like a sample? It's so vocoded, didn't think it had to be super loud :P

less reverb? haha, It's something i have to do a lot xD

This is a very pleasant song, Jesse. You have put together some strong melodies on here, and the overall sound is quite powerful. I agree that the vocals ought to be a little higher in volume, and cutting back on the reverb might help their clarity a little. Changing "become" to "be" and losing the "so" might help the simplify the sound of the vocal by reducing the number of syllables if you decide to retain the reverb, but I'm no lyricist and neither is my wife.

Good work :)

do you think this is something they could play in a club? Or too soft?

That's hard to say. I've been barred from most of the clubs in my area :wink:

The percussion has quite a "hard", almost dubstep-friendly quality. you might want to add some wubz or something similar into the less dense sections to maintain the energy level of the rest of the piece.
