Hey everyone,

I haven't posted here in a while and wanted to share a track I recently finished up. Hopefully you enjoy it and I'm curious to hear what you liked/hated, Thanks!

The sub is too rumbly and makes the whole bass region feel very floaty and undefined. The tuning of the synths feels quite atonal in a very awkward way.

nice track really like the ambience :). the bass could be a little bit turned down to let the track breath just a little and the hats a bit harsher, but on the other hand the synth is making a nice contrast by floating on top.

Definitely needs a lot of work on the mix (which is very dull and unfocused) and possibly a second or third thought regarding some of the sound choices in the track, like the kick.
The choice of sounds makes it feel like the music isn't a coherent piece, rather a mix and blend of whatever was available.

The good part is the synth sequence and the progression makes sense.

agree with matti it sounds a bit random. and not in a good way.
kick is too knocky woody, and maybe not in tune?
need work, but i can see potential for a nice groovy track!
