Cool synths but the percussion kills it for me...It's pretty flat and it seems like it is fluctuating in tempo, which is quite unsettling. Keep at it though!

Thanks a lot for the reply and the criticism man! I really appreciate it! I'll definitely try fixing the percussion issue on my next song! Do you think if you listened to in a higher quality, the percussion might not sound as flat to you?

Here's the Bandcamp link if you wanted to give that a try instead:

But when I put this song together, I wasn't using studio monitors But luckily I do have a pair I ordered that are coming in the mail within the next couple days, so that should help me a lot for future tracks. So for the mixing/mastering of this song, maybe I didn't do as good of a job on mixing the kick/snare as I thought I did since listening on the regular entertainment speakers might have given me a bad illusion for how it actually sounded to other people on different speaker systems.

Yeah, the drums are definitely not in time with the rest of the track. Other than that, this is a really nice piece - good use of melody and harmony. Definitely re-post once the drum issue is fixed!

Thanks so much for the reply and the very helpful criticism! I'll try working with the track and fixing the drums to make sure they are more in time with the pads, synths, and all of that. I'm really happy with the way the beat flows, so I might just try making the rest of the track in time with the beat instead, if you think that'd be a good route to go with it, to make everything timed better.

I'll definitely make sure to re-post it when I get to fixing it all up, thanks again for the reply!!!
