Nice popish, light hearted track!
I was thinking maybe it could use some ocean sound at the beginning also.

catchy lead! I like the ocean sounds at the end as the song sails away

haha wow, i used a loop from a loop pack for the plucks. its quit possible they used the same one.D-Fusion wrote:The melody reminded me of a EDM version of this one

as you can hear, their plucks have vocals layered all over the top. ie; i didn't sample them from this song.
the melody is similar indeed, but not identical if you listen closely.
not only that, i've never heard this song before, imagine that!

Very effective! I can imagine getting out my captain's hat and setting sail. I especially like the kind of "cute" synth voice that you're using for those high accent notes.

This is one of your best, I think. The sounds chosen mesh together very well when needed, and also provide variation at the right points. I liked the melody and the mix too. You've dialled back the reverb a little on here, and it gives this a strong pop-vibe without sounding like mainstream cliche. Those pads are really nice.
Good work

With those plucks, you've left the 80s behind. If you found a singer, this could be in the current Top 40. It's not exactly my taste but an interesting twist nonetheless.
The mix is good if a little bass heavy. Good work.

than anything. good idea about a singer, it would also stretch it out with the sung parts!
haaha, i get that its not your taste, its not really mine either, but i kind
of wanted to swing over to the happy side after my last tune!
as far as the bass, i think i let a tad too much energy get by at around the 50hz freq.
I should have started the master EQ highpass cut slope at 60hz. thanks for pointing that out ol' chum!
i'll watch that next time!
