The melodic variation in this section was great, too. I thought the last two minutes were pleasant to listen to, but had a little less energy than the first half. Maybe you could have added an adapted reprise of the section from 1:29 to 2:16 at 3:21 and then continued from the original 3:21 to the end. This is only my personal feeling and it should be taken with a very large pinch of salt :) These changes would take the track length over 5 minutes, which might not be to your liking.

The mix was great.

Good work :)
thanks all for listening and your comments. i am glad that you feel only 2 songs :lol:
because in the beginning the elements of the song belonged to at least 3-5 different tracks. i always make small sketches, but i only keep the best parts and in the end i try to fit them into one single track. in this case i was pretty happy with the more calm ending section.

Just when I thought I knew where it was going, the track pleasantly surprised me by going in a different direction.

I really like the synth sounds. Are you using some saturation to warm them up?

Great mix. A treat to listen to. :)

Enjoyed the contrasts in this. I agree with the others, this sounds rather like two songs glued together - not necessarily a bad thing though.
It wasn't me! (well, actually, it probably was) - apparently now an 'elderly' so maybe I forgot!

Hi Frantz,
thanks for the kind words. No, i don't use saturation. My mixing-technic is most of the time pretty simple. There is a synth, then a compressor, then an EQ (sometimes + chorus, or a pitchshifter or any other traditional effect . (Reverb is done via Send-Fx).
Maybe, the compressor is doing some nice warm punch. But on the other hand it is a pretty simple compressor, it has 2 attack rates. Normal (30ms) and fast (3ms) :lol: - but it is the perfect compressor for me :D

Thanks for listening. Glad that the 2 parts worked for you.
