Quick demo of something that's caught my fancy...wanted to see what everyone else thought of the initial concept...
Tried to keep everything very simple with this...the chord progression, the sounds, the drumkit...
I think individually the sounds are fairly cliche/generic and yea I've heard that pad a million and one times too, but together I think they fit together quite well.
What do you think?
Right direction? or too simple/generic even when presented this way?
final notes : Automated sidechain is winsauce, I strictly kept to nexus and sylenth1 to see again, if I could make it interesting regardless of cheese!, and only 16 bars of melody are done (i'd like to expand it naturally :))
Down-tempo - generally speaking not genre - yes. Not ambient.
I like the song idea. [Stock_Recommendations_For_Progression&Mix_Clarity]

oh hey, thanks for the feedback.
@ sako, thank you :)
@ Eddie, thanks and...mix clarity is always poor on the stream so it wouldn't make a difference anyway I guess...Also, I've been told that I should look into producing music for game companies, so I find it amusing that you linked fallout2.
And yeah downtempo, ooops...I wanted trance with a more ambient / laid back vibe to it, hence the big lush pad and arps.
Hopefully I can keep with the trend of "finishing" my tracks :)

Fairly nice and lush mate. You mentioned the sounds being fairly generic, and yeah they are, but hey if you like them in here, then why not!

But do you think they work well together and make sense given the context? I find alot of cheese to be blatant obvious cheese with good instruments being used "cheesily."
I really want to be able to make classy music out of anything, even if the core elements are "generic."
Thanks for the listen ;)

I'm trying to answer your very specific question - do the sounds work well together - I'd answer by saying they fit together fine.
Like great food though, the better the ingredients .........
