Nice to find this place though!

Okay, first of all - please lose the autoplay feature. There is nothing more annoying in this world than a website that automatically starts blasting music on full volume.

You've got pretty nice melodies but everything else seems to need a bit of work. The drum samples used are mediocre at best and the piano samples sound pretty fake and really harsh on the ears. The bassline is much too boomy and nearly kills my speakers when it hits that one higher note.

Also, while the toddler sounds can be a nice touch they are completely out of sync with the rest of the track and just sound very glued-on in general.

I think you should get a SoundCloud page (and I'm trying to say that in the nicest way possible).

Thanks for the feedback you all. I totally remixed this and think it is much better now. The vocals are supposed to sound like that. I have other songs with vocals done "correctly", it is not that I do now know how to do it

It sounds like a casio keyboard someone left on in a Mall. You can do a lot better - take wayyyyyy more care in sound choices.

I am guessing that the child in question is dear to you? The reason I say this is that my main inspiration for me to do what I do is my daughter so would understand completely.

I understand the concept and what you are trying to convey and the idea is nice. You have a nice melody, although I feel that it might benefit from a few lower chords to support it a little.

The percussion has a retro drum machine feel about it which isn’t a bad thing, but the programming is a little too busy in my opinion for this type of track.

I understand what Mr.Mystery is saying about the vocal sample, as it is out of time, but out of time can work if done right. The other problem it has is the sonic space that it occupies, as with all of the components, they don’t seem to share the same space and you may benefit from routing all of the elements that need special effects to the same busses rather than using individual. One way of perhaps bringing an out of time vocal track other than time stretching or changing the tempo of the track is to apply a delay effect that is in time. This could generate some interesting results. It could also make it gel a little better with the track.

The piano lead has some nice changes to it and definitely gives an emotional feel to the track, but as I said earlier I think it would benefit from some lower chords, you may also want to start the track in a lower octave and perhaps build to the higher stuff which would give you some progression in terms of melody otherwise it just becomes a case of adding and removing content. If you imagine it like a conversation, you start by making your opening statement, but by the time the track ends you are restating your point but with much more vigour.

Thanks for sharing and look forward to hear more.
Cheers
Nem
