i liked your otra noche, so i´ll have a listen to this one aswell...

soundquality is really good...
in the break you could perhaps add a deep-pad, imo...i like it low!
nice plucked sound...works fine with the bell-sound!
the break keeps tension...always a +
still waiting for the main part...nice!
now the track is on full power...i think the bassline could be more present...there´s somehow a lack of energy, you wanted to achieve by this massive break...
perhaps it was intention to keep it chilled...i dont know...just a suggestion...

very nice production...i like it a lot!

very nice sound quality, synths are lush and the pads are nice too percs sound nice and driving too.

melodically speaking, the main lead has this "synaesthesia" feeling that i already didnt like in synaesthesia that high bleep melody is very cute tho

good job, i'd like to hear the full

static blue

would like some lower pad in the break
otherwise it sounds really nice

i think the track could need some more energy when it's all on...

other then that it sounds nice

The melody sounds like an ALT+F4 rip off at the start! Very lack luster - the sound is very girly! You need to beef this track up! Sound quality is very good though but just not my thing!

this is very nice, production is very clean.

the alt+f4 style synth could do with a bit more reverb/delay, it sounds very dry in the mix

sounds a bit simple when it kicks in, need to do some work on the kick/bass/percs but with a bit of work it will be very signable

just be careful who you target as the melody is very happy

It is a girly cheese track... It's one of those tracks that I didn't really care for but I showed clips here and there to friends and they were nagging me to finish it, but it turned out pretty cool IMO.

The synth was supposed to be derivative of Alt+F4 because I was trying to learn how they did they had the saw sounds stacked up and chords and junk, but hey if it works well in the mix, I'll leave it.

Thanks

I tried adding reverb and delay previously to the synth, but the mix lost definition as it made it muddy that everything was pretty much washed out, maybe it's more an EQ issue, but then again I wasn't tring make that the main thing in the mix.

Maybe I could add more stuff when it kicks in, but it feels transparent enough being simple like that and getting bit complex further on in the mix. We'll see what the labels say.

There are a lot of tracks on the forum that are so complex (like 10 melodic arps going on at once, 5 percussion parts, ect ect) you can't really get into the tune (it loses its musical quality and sounds like noise), and that's not my intention at all for any of my tracks.

Thanks for the constructive feedback anyway

I quite like this one, very warm feeling about it. Love the subtle break and smooth buildup. It's not that energetic, but more like a feel-good track for me.

Good job! Never hesitate to send something out

Bye,
Wim

listening.. reminds me of "Alt F4" alot, main synths are good.. those upper leads could use some more attention.. and i think u need to punch it up a notch after the breakdown... otherwise all good

Not a bad idea... I like low pad basslines too... I might add one.

Hey Gerry,

Nice tune... its got a strong feel good vibe.

I agree with others that it could benefit from a little more low-end, maybe in the pads. The bass seems a litle light too, though I love the skippity feeling it has.

Short sample, but I enjoyed it!
Trevor
