Cool. I dig some of the elements in this, the bell sound in particular, and the glitch work.

Hey there,
I like the chime synth work that comes in around the 30 second mark, as well as the first breakdown and buildup.
I think that synth that comes in around 4:18 sounds a little cheesy with the filter completely open, but sounds better as the filter fades.
I like what you did to the melody afterward though!
Also, I really like the bassline.
Good luck man!

hey!

thanks for the feedback, i know what you mean about the cheesy bit but i kinda hit a wall with that bit and it doesn't have enough impact with the filter closed (or even a bit more closed- i just checked!) but tbh i'd spent so long fiddling with the tune as a whole i decided it was time to close the door on it and move on!

Pretty decent production, cool bassline. Not too big of a fan of the supersaw sound though.

Is there no duck on the bassline? Cool track though, the hihats are a bit bright I think, seems like the high end is a bit pushed.

Appreciate the feedback, quite new to this so not sure what you mean by the duck! I did eq the top slightly during mastering so maybe went a bit far! All a learning process tho

Ducking is another word for side-chaining.

Some nice ideas. Love the initial kick n bass. The glych is really good - maybe you used sugarbytes effectrix?

Supersaw is a kill for me though mate.

Cheers mate, I'm starting a new project now with some of the same elements but dropping the lead sound as I was never 100% about it myself, just really struggle to find decent lead sounds...

Glitch wise I was using dblue's glitch
