hi there,

new year, new track
Lay - A new hope by lay

Hope you guys like it.

Any feedback, especially about the mixing, is very welcome!

Starts off nice, but im not a fan of the percussion you brought in or the offbeat bass. The mixdown seems pretty decent. The piano break is really nice. The buildup could use a bit more element but overall its a nice track.

ok man, the clap needs more bottom end, and all the percussion in general seems way too prominent in the mix.
the off beat bass is a tad boring.
the piano's sound like they've been low cut too much too. everything seems really thin.
i like how you brought in the pads tho, and that gated sweeping one is really quite nice. the big gated one is ok too.
i would have brought in the bass instead of the kick there to try and build a little extra tension. the kick in there just doesn't do it for me, but if you're going for a more progressive sound i guess it works.

thanks for your comments! I have to agree with most of what you said.
I need to redo the bass. i guess the reason why everything sounds so thin,
is because I used highpass to much. my older mixdowns were always too
muddy, so this time i tried to avoid this.
