My 2nd track in the making. Really feel like I learned a lot from my first track and am seeing this track grow slowly. All I want is some constructive criticism, so just be honest, not rude.

Hey Micheal, I rune it today few times to get better idea for your style of your music - it is different (doesn't mean is not good, it is simply different just because all of us are different my friend). I like some part of this track and some sounds you intro in your track. I think that this is not bad at all (taking in account that you started a few months ago).

Take small step, start with drums and your bass - make sure that they sync together well, add some base melody and work on blending all of these parts of your track nicely together - this would be my suggestion (for my self to LOL - some times have the same problem). Keep doing what you are doing my friend, practice, practice and practice - this is the only well to get some experience. Send your track here for review, talk to different producers, share knowledge, give/exchange suggestions about what to do and how to do it and keep them comming man.

Cheers

you have to ditch the presets in a track like this in my opinion. give your track more soul.

use reverb to make your sounds less harsh. find out which notes dont fit by using your ear, you would need a better kick sample as well.

which presets are you guys talking about exactly?

some of the sounds sound like presets because they dont seem to fit at all. leads, some of the effected pads, and mids. (maybe what im trying to say is bad selection)

you should think about removing your Lead(s). theyre making the track sounds pretty bad.

the levels are not horrendous, so keep it up, the ending has a nice feeling although i dont think some of your notes fit.

the pads were all constructed by me, same thing with the leads.
I have a question, how does one make a song based on a key?
oh and its not the full song, the ending is the midpoint.
