Hey Ondellonoya,

This is definitely an interesting track to say the least! It keeps changing rapidly with such different parts, like dream theater. I've said this about your previous work too in that you have such interesting chord progressions and you switch things up a lot. Really love your melodies a bunch. The only thing lacking, and of course this is just your experimentation, is of course the production and sample quality. I'm not sure what you want to do with this, in regards to making it a complete track or whatever or putting it on an EP album... but this track, you could augment it by choosing much better samples, committing to a full mix and you'd have a real gem here.

Again, this composition is one big reminder for me to check out your soundcloud more often

Cheers mate,

Syllix - thanks for the feedback man, really appreciate it..! for the production quality and the mix, this tune is just balanced and am not a good mixer anyway, but still learning to do it.. would you tell me on which things that I have to put more attention to the sound..? thanks so much..!

Yeah basically the mix needs work. The kick is too quiet and in the background and sometimes the bass feels too wide and up front compared to the rest of the music, then you have some nice quality guitar and then static hihats going on at times... if the drums are programmed midi you can try different velocities, or instead of the same repeating hihat or cymbal you can vary between two or three different ones, still keeping your same pattern, or you could also try layering some percussion to get them to sound a little fuller. This stuff takes time though so as long as you keep working at it, and listening to artists the you really like and that have good production quality, your ears will be able to pick up on things that you didn't before.
