Thanks! I really appreciate the compliment Eddie :) -Edit for extra <3-

Just wanted to note that I was also extra careful in making sure that the track sounded tasty in mono as well...considering the amount stereo whoring I did... heh.

I'll play it out on my speakers, tomorrow. Really, though, it played out nicely on the head-sets. If I was going to recommend songs to be heard on headphones, this would be one of them.

Definately the best one i've heard from you.

That bassline could maybe use some modulation/cutoff/filtering/tweaking over time as it's a bit solid all the way through, but not so much that it's killing the track.

The kick ain't there, gets really smothered for the most part.

Great ideas though, and the sounds work well together, i'm just nitpicking really :)

Absolutely fine to nitpick. (happy that my tracks can be nitpicked now, rather than "Oh ye hath huge errorz to be fixed")

That bass loves to be tweaked as well, so I'll definitely give it some consideration, and try to work in some classy filtering.

Does the kick get smothered in the end? And in what way? Few other of my tracks could benefit from kick correction as well, so the more info the better.

The low end on my friend's 500W sub sounded fine...could be the 2khz snap perhaps? Will give it a listen when I get back home to my monitors.

Thanks for the feedback as always m8 :D

Listened, again. I can hear the kick, on my speakers, but was thinking it could come up...









by around 1.5 decibels!

* Dun dun DUUUNNNN *

Er, seriously - it might be a nitpick but I am kind of concurring with tehlord on this one.

Still - It's a ing killer track!

Loving the overall direction the only thing I dislike is when the arp comes in at around 1:15 doesn't seem to flow into the mix if that makes sense.

Good overall track man I like!

@ Eddie - Oo specific advice. Will give it a try when I get home. 1.5 exactly eh? We shall see :)

@ Kevin - Agreeing. I realized this morning that I must have accidentally some automations, and they ran amok. I definitely remember having the arps set better than that.

I have about 6 different automations running on the arps, the offending ones most likely being a combo of the decay, release and cutoff...

Will update when I get home/fix tonight.

Cheers for the feedback guys, really helps having other ears listen to catch the fine details. Your time is very much appreciated. <3

Kick upped exactly 1.5dB via compressor gain...Let there be kick!

Took forever to fine tune the automations for the arps and adjust the mix to compensate for the kick...Must be ghosts in my DAW...

Updated result is at the top :)

I'm also quite liking this one! Very cool melodies and synthwork.

The bassline certainly feels robotic, which is something I'm not a great fan of. Some filtering/automating would definitely give it more soul.

The drums are a little bland, but I guess they fit in this context.

I'll look forward to hearing more tunes from you and listen as you progress. That's 2 tunes in a row that I've enjoyed from you.

I'll conclude by saying keep it up!
