Hey DigitalAmbrosia its good to see some Aussie producers comming up.
had a quick listen and was ok melody but to much of the same thing, also it sounds over compressed it has no dynamics. Nice vocalist

keep working mate.

-great vocalist, sexy voice.

-drums could use some more space and sparkle

-drop in some variation to your main tune

-give the bassline more prominence

thanks for the feedback guys. much appreciated

i've tried my best to fix up the song to reflect what has been suggested but i still havent managed to fix some things...such as uniform loudness and the mixing

here's the link to its soundcloud page

took a listen at soundcloud mate, good progress

- in the starting "dont make a sound" vocal is kind of repetitive. so try to alternate it like this
dont make a sound all around + dont make(in whispers) + dont make(delay) (pan left to right)
get it idea?

- at around 1:45 the vocal needs lil bit gain. after "turn it up" dude vocal your track picks up energy. i like this part the best before the breakdown.

- at 3:14 you need to introduce another synth to keep it interesting. till the break down.

- the bassline sounds better. just increase the gain on it so that mid frequences of the bassline can be heard.

- after the breakdown, the vocal needs more spatial presence. increase the reverb on the vocal. increase the stereo width. also use some of the patterns before the breakdown.

i've tried my best to apply your suggestions and i also ended up significantly changing the second half of the song in doing so.

well here's the most recent version...
