Welcome to the boards man...
I would say that after listening to this track that you have the right ideas. I would say try spending a little time on your transitions. Add some atmospheric elements into those transitions (sweeps,etc)
Work on that kick and yea..EQ will really help. Try and bridge the gap of your higher frequency tones and lower frequencies.
As for your composition, it seems there are parts that are a little forced. Maybe the transition work will lend a better melding of the track |
Thank you so much for the reply. I've been busy this whole week with work but wanted to let you know your feedback didn't go unnoticed. I'm going to start working on the song again this week so I will try to implement your feedback and post again! |

i like this, the toms really pop out of my macbook speakers , every sound sounds clear and crisp, i like the Balearic vibe and i feel the "saw lead" thing that comes in is sort of too "harsh" and "digital" of what the aura of the track is... if that makes sense .. but that's just my personal taste ...otherwise good stuff. |

i would agree about the saw stab - if it has to be there then i would push it back further into the mix and maybe even roll back the cutoff a bit so its not as imposing
thats really nice to listen to Darek, relaxing :) |

Love this idea man, really catchy stuff but mixing/mastering will have hell of the time to properly get all of those levels and dynamics done - I'm not sure what and how everything supposed to seat but right now sounded a bit uneven, out of balance - at least to me Richard. When you get this under control this could be massive ;)

agree with above - the style is nice but mix seems a little jumpy or something? |

I love the idea of the deep driving kick, but I think they lack definition. But then again my HS7s start rolling off below 43hz, and I'm pretty sure this is below, which is still audible, but I can't judge it clearly, so if you can, check if its really an issue.
Maybe the saw lead is a bit too loud in relation to everything else. (Edit: no its not, its just uh, dry/digital as other guys said)
Musically, its on point as usual. |

Darek and Evo can you give me a bit more specific detail on what you mean by 'jumpy' and 'uneven' and 'out of balance'? By out of balance do you mean some bits are too loud - maybe the drums I was thinking?
The sustained bass is deliberately jumpy and moving around I was after this feel.
Ignore those loud vocal stabs and I have not properly done transitions yet.
I have yet to do a final mixdown but it's better I have your input now to guide me.
Cheers
I am trying to listen to your track Darek but here at work sc wont play just now, so will take a listen later. |

I will give proper response to each of you latter but would like you to know that this is first time I started a track with drums lol - usually I love to play with chord to get me some kind of concept of melody and working my way up from there lol - it always a first time for everything ;)

Richard, are you doing any sidechaining on the bass? |

Love those Arps man....
Kick seems a lil op.
The piano stab and vocal shot seems a little out of place from what you originally started off with. Seems disjointed.
I'd keep the groove you started off with as it is for sure the right vibe for tropical. |
