Now y'all can get at me with this whip, flame me to hell like always.

Juan, track started off sounding good, but there are out of key elements with the rest of the song including the bells and that lead brass sound.
It is an improvement over your previous tracks because it does feel more like it goes somewhere more though.

About to start working on the mixdown, any thoughts on the structure / progression?
Innocence Lost
Aye, yeah it def is outta key :( serves me right for using some one else's work lol. Well I changed a few notes here and there but its my favorite melody atm.

I'm on windows right now and haven't calibrated my monitors for it yet. I'm testing battlefield 4 so when I'm done I'll log back to mac and give a good in depth review.

Made in Bitwig right? ;)
At 0:41 add a clap. Things I would do is add delay at the lead on 0:55 for a more rolling effect.
So far everything sounds oldschool and when you hit the pads at 2:30 really sets things in motion and the bass is just solid and mysterious. Structure is fine, sounds like a finished solid piece of work.
If it were my style I would change the kick and add more pads and little more hi-hats.

Thanks. Yeah its all made in Bitwig. I think I could use some more pads to help with the transitions some since I reduced the presence of the main track pad a bit for mixing. That would help especially in the first section where the track is alot more open and I have suspected it may need a bit more to bring it along.
I will look at the kick, to be honest I havn't spent much time on it but I spent hours working on the hats :p
BTW, I think the bell part would work in your track quite nicely if you just fixed the key even if its not the exact thing you had in mind.

Liking the pads and the melody, personally I would make the cymbals more present.
Here is something I have just finished.
Any thoughts?

Do you have any bass line in this track (low end of it) - you could definitely improve some dynamics in your production - melodic vice sounds OK for starter but I would add some more development to it.

Here is a track of mine that I don't think many have heard.. I'd be happy to hear what you think.
Sounds good to me so far - sounds level are OK and melodic arrangement seats good but some of those popping FX need to be EQ to properly work in your track - they are piercing my ears lol - like where you going with it.

Thanks friend.
Whoa, sounding pretty good over there man. I have no problems with it, everything is sounding good. The genre is not my cup of tea so its hard for me to know what to take out or add. Technically the mix down is pretty tight tho.

Wow, guess I listened to it too many times over the past week and couldn't even hear the obvious anymore with the dynamics. Think I got my work cut out for me between the dynamics and progression.
