Hey there,

posted a couple of tracks here before and ppl told me it sounds boring, no interesting synths and bad production.
This one is a little bit different. made it with ableton and hope you like it!

Pls tell me how to improve!
(btw I know the arrangement is pretty weird...)

I think the arrangement is fine, in fact one of the strongest elements of the track.

Just a few little issues to my ears :-

The kick is a bit weak, could use more oomph

The main lead is a bit monotonous and loud. Try reducing the level a bit and automating some modulation (filter cutoff etc)

There's room for more transition FX, sweeps etc.

Try using a quiet, evolving, wide stereo pad in the background in a few places.

Try delaying the snare by a few milliseconds on the track delay, it'll add some nice relaxed groove to the track.


Nice dark atmosphere though, pretty gritty

:cool:

Ok thanks for the good and gelpful critics!
