the samples are low-quality
you gotta switch them
didnt like the acit sound
the bassline is too weak
didnt like the start melodies
strings are nice
the melody is nice
but her sound is great!

anyway keep work on this one.. and you can make it alot more better!

Thanks for the input.
In what way do you find the samples to be low-quality? Low quality like that they sound to be in low khz, like 11 or 22 khz or does the general sound sound low quality like it´s needs better mastering?

What did you mean by "but her sound is great!", did you mean THE sound is great?

thanks again for the input!

shaker sounds a bit to loud for my taste, i like subtle shakers.

the riff in the intro is quite uplifting, but the sound is a bit weak.

the riff gets a heavier synth, pretty cool, but, i hoped for more chor progression in this lead.

your mix isn't really good, i think thats the problem.

good luck.

This track shows much potential in making melodies, but also somehow a lack of variation.

Would feel challenged by reworking this track together with you. There are some very promising sequences in your track. Did you use Reason for it? Could I have the notes and the instrument of your main melody? I'd like to create a more variant melody. Perhaps youl like it more...

Hi,

The intro is too harsh. Nice bassline, dark and moody but it could be abit deeper. I like the synths. Well the main problem IMO is that the track gets boring after a while. You need to variate more + more elements. Other than that, this doesnt sound bad, pretty nice.

Thanks all, appricate the feedback.

Massive84: Im pretty new to this and I heard it before, but what exactly is "chord progression"? Progression speaks for itself, progress, building and all that, but in this sense I would really appriciate learning more.
You say the mix isnt good, could you explain it further, is it my choice of sounds, how I´ve arranged the different elements, when and how they are introduced? I could really use some specifics if possible

Ian Vanderson: Glad to hear that you enjoyed the melody, yes I did use Reason for it, and I think it would be interesting to see what you can come up with, because Im on a dead end with this melody right now. I also feel that I need to variate it more but im drawing blanks at the moment.

Sebraa: Thanks, and greetings to you too! Im not sure what is missing in the MIDS, but my mastering skills arent that good so it´s probably there I should look into that.

EternalMusic: Ok, do you mean the start of the track when it starts of with "full beat"? If so I can see that. Maybe I should change that into a more simplyfied beat until the bass comes?
Variation is required yes, do you have any specific suggestions on how I can do this? Where in the track it could be different, where the track looses it´s "punch"?
Glad to hear that you found it nice

Thanks again for the input!
