Finally finished some last minute editing on one of my newer tracks. Worked on this particular project on and off for well over a month now, and have come to be pretty satisfied with it. It's got a nice ambient/uplifting atmosphere. Give it a listen and enjoy!
Thanks alot for the constructive feedback Etheral tis much appreciated!
Anyhow I think the clap could have used some work as well... but as far as the percussion I personally didnt want to make it anything too exciting as I was trying to maintain a more mellow atmosphere rather then anything to hyped up.. you know?
Other then that I think you hit some nice points.. thx again!
> i think this bassline is too simple and it needs another layer to add some groove
> kick could do with some more power
> nice fx here and there
> the mixing is rather clean and i like this
> the melody is very nice and relaxing.
> overall this is a relaxing piece, nice to listen to. I really think you need some more percussion layers too. and a main open hat
nice track.

as I listen..
nice effect in the beginning..
ack! off-beat bassline..
kick is good..
nice pad
don't like the reverb on that clap.. nice idea.. I don't really like it though..
that synth lead-ish thing is ok.. sort of annyong (at 1:50)
the reverb on the clap sounds better later on in the track when there is more of a texture
piano is alright.. composition could of been better though.. some of the notes could have been better placed among the progression..
the composition on the piano definitly needs to be better since it's the main element in the track..
there could be more elements in teh track still.. it's quite empty..
mastering is good, though.. definitly quite good..
the synth at 5:20 isn't too bad.. again, composition needs improvement.. there is no element of it that catches my attention.. plus no repitition of an element. it basically just keeps running..

I like the bass.
I don't think I've ever heard a snare roll quite like that one. I like it that way.
Floops effect at 1:40 if I'm not mistaken. Play around with that a bit more.
Don't make your attack so punchy in the first breakdown; it doesn't fit quite right with the feel there. But bring the punch in for the more beat driven part.
Good ambience in the breakdown.
Very fun tune. I liked listing to it. What did you actually use for this btw?

Thanks alot you guys for the great feedback.
To 'thoughtlessjex': I use Cubase SX and basically a bunch of plugins. The strings were done with 'Edirol Orchestra' and the rest is pretty much your average vsti's ... 'vstation' 'atmosphere' etc.
