New tune: Simon Bryan presents Convergence - Nothing Lasts Forever

OK, so I'm gonna be using the name Convergence for some productions... really just the ones that I feel the name goes better with. Just so you know it's me...

So anyway, I've made a new tune now, Nothing Lasts Forever.

LINK HERE

I think it's a big improvement on my last track, production-wise I feel it's coming together more smoothly. It's a chilled, melodic track, something quite smooth and relaxing. 137 bpm, made in Reason 2.5

Thanks to Massive for the help, mostly with the mixing, and for the kickdrum

I like the way the strings that come in at 1:25, and the song comes together really well at about 4:30. The different melodies go well together.

Needs more dynamics! Even for a chilled tune I reckon it could do with some more dynamics ( not compressors etc., i mean excitement + contrast in the arrangement ). Some more layers of percussion would be nice too Overall the tune lacks some complexity.

Nice clean production, all of the synths + drums are nice and clear, no mud. I listened to your other tune, "roll up" on your website, and the production in Nothing Lasts Forever blows your last tune away.

Keep it up bro!

i agree, for his second production this is very impressive.

i really like this tune tbh, , the melody and strings are quite catchy.

at 2.48 it the perc and bass stop to sudden, try to avoid such things.

seriously good job

This is good stuff, guy. Usually, Reason songs sound too "Reasony" but that's not your case. Very enjoyable track...I like it a lot.

I usually don't point out what needs to be changed if I find the track attractive and pleasant to hear as is; this one falls in that category. Good job there.

Thanks for the comments guys... yeah, I kinda surprised myself with this one, I find myself listening to it a lot...
