nice ideas here mate, but some minor notes are off the hook a lil bit, but it does not matter much. Keep it up mate,

sounds like a good start, you just need to improve the elements individually and thicken the sounds and add some more percs

Sounds good so far. I think you need some thicker strings and percussion sounds though. Melodies are good.

Reviewing as I listen:

Sounds like a nice ride, very nice bass change, dreamy synths surrounding, nice voice sample but was expecting it to go hard then.

Sounds a bit too over-the-top dreamy now. Bit cheesy maybe. Am extremely liking that beginning bit tho - thinking of a remix maybe?

Nice chord change again. Everything sounds so sweet and perfect, but its missing something. A nice sub melody, riff, maybe.

Ooh, bad chord change then, sounding offkey.

Extra hi-hats, wasn't expecting that. Theres that bad chord change again. Gunna have to fix that. Nice sample again, but expect it to go really hard. PLEASE LET ME MAKE A HARD REMIX OF THIS!!!

Overall, this track has nice pads, nice arp and nice bassline, but think it needs more happening in the track, to give it more fullness.

I'd love to collaberate even...

thanks for your feedback,

mantrance can u give me a 00:00 time of when it sounds offkey please..

i've heard this a few times now.. but no-one has pointed to me the time when it happens.

cheers, steve

[edit - after re-listening, i think i may just make something a bit harder out of this]

-love the intro

-00:15 good melody

-00:26 nice vocals

-I think you need to fade in the strings @ 00:27 sound kind of strange at the begining.. also make them fuller as previously mentioned. (maybe a little reeverb)

- 00:49-00:57 like that.. and also the crashes.

- first build up needs something else @ 01:23 (more percussion)

- nice build up 01:44-01:55

- Also did not did not expect extra percussion a little sudden.. (maybe if you lower volume a little.) 02:19

- Has a good vibe over all a lot of potential IMO.. Good work.
