Here's a WIP, is it going somewhere ? |
imo your sub is taking over the track, there behind the mid muddiness is some really nice higher frequency tones.
I think those tones need to be highlighted and showcased and Im willing to bet you'll get a much different feel. |

I do like the idea of this one, just needs some filling up.
I could do without the vocal, though, but that might just be me. |

You guys feedback lead to I think a far better version and better showcase of the analoggggg arp

There Ya Go! THAT is what I wanted to hear
I am very curious about the kick however, not sure if you played around with it or if is a placeholder or your creative choice using that particular one. Perhaps a different kick with some depth and a more bottom end would help?
Overall at this state I would say a great improvement from the last. |

It's nice Rich, cool vibe. Like the subtle phazing/cutoff on synth. Kick sounds maybe a bit out of mix. |

I was playing with this again. Does the bass starting at 0:48 works for you guys?
btw Thanks, Rich for pointing out my annoying synth after 15 sec, i'm doing this all the time not knowing at first

YES!! And...no.
Yes as in I totally get it and YES! It truly does work.
No as in imo, it should be subtle in the mix and could easily be resolved by volume. I can appreciate the wideness of the tone it is attempting to create but feel you would get more impact by going with less stereo range on that bass. Maybe even a low pass on EQ just to get the subtly and warmth.
Really Really Really dig this and feel it can be a very vibey track
-------------------------------------
Welp, I had to make a decision on this track as I keep coming back to it. I made the decision to stick with it but if I were to, things had to change.
After a lot of thought, I made considerable changes in the composition.
Nearly all the beginning percussion is gone and went more atmospheric.
Made some adjustments on the snare and kick end.
Note changes in a few areas but the arrangement remained.
To me, the biggest change came when I felt the track was sluggish. So, I increased the bpm to 128 and feel it has a much better groove to it.
Still needing some work but I feel this is a better iteration.

Hey thanks, will try how it sounds with a more subtle bass... I like the old and the new beginning. I think you need more lowend from 1:10, and it's a bit to bright in mid-highs imo. I also have a feeling that the kick is slowing down the groove in some parts. |

So I like what you here apart from that bass at 48 but that's just my taste. For me it hampers the groove. |

Not really getting this one mate. At 1.08 I was wanting a nice bass but on computer speakers I can only here a lead synth and drums. |
