- sounds used
- effects uses (delays, reverbs)
- transition into break
- Percussion
- Some nice melodies
Needs work:
- weak kick (maybe thats what you want)
- track structure
- play around with that riff that comes in at 1:40... whack a filter of your choice on it... and automate the cutoff. Because that riff was getting really repetitive and boring by 3:00... fuck around with it.
good work mate

This is tight.
My recommendations: Lose that melody loop thing that comes in at 1:40. Cut it completely, or do some max James Holden style compression. It sounds really bad. Leave the breakdowns as is, they rule.
Worq the bass. Make it a little more noticable, and you'll have a hella funkai tune.

this is fan fuckin tastic.
bassline is there but not quite?
but i like it like that.
love the atmosphere of the pads + progressions.
workin the music theory?
love the little reverse hats
only qualm is melodies. flat.
i think you can expand on them while remaining subtle.
hell, throw a few more in the background.
just suggestions. but love the work.
edit: what's with the names? lagoona, serengeti?

wow thanks guys.
yeh im gonna sit down now and work on something to fit that first melody to make it more interesting.
wade, ur right the highs are a little muddy, will fix that.
regarding the bass, yeh its extremely low in frequency, but i think it goes nicely.. sorta reminds me of Lemon 8 - 'NY NY' (not that it can compare or anything )
jaykue: dunno why lagoona, just thought of it and sounded okay. serengeti - huge wildlife park in africa, i think it suites the track hehe (gilmista actually thought of this one!)

i like the theme.
reminds me of ferry's tagalog [fillipino] track titles.
just thought they may have held some significance to urself.

Wouldn't it be something more like if you're doing all this in FL, imagine what you can get out of a more professional sequencer?

i ain't a pro but slap me ears silly if jace's "serengeti" doesnt sound quite the pro production already.

i do all my sequencing in acid pro and use a shitload of samples
moving onto reason soon though..
