Very good for a first track!


I can't really fault the structure or musical elements of the track at all. There's nothing really grabs hold of me and it's quite generic but that doesn't matter for a first track.

What I would look at is your use of EQ, panning and FX. Everything seems to be sitting in the same space at the moment so try to use EQ to seperate the bottom end (kick and basslines) mids (synths, arps and vocals when you use them) and top end (hats, crashes, sweeps and higher vocals) to give everything its own space. You can also use panning to do this but you generally want to keep the bottom end straight down the middle.

Great start

That's some usefull tips! I'll work on those things in my next project..

Pretty good for a first try. You are following a very generic formula though. Try to create your own unique patterns. I think the piano needs to be humanized. Great start.
