I tried to do something different.

"Current Value"-sh type of beat in outro part would be awesome. And clap-like sound in the middle of stereo-image would sound amazing with phaser and/or stereo-delay.
Very well done.

 

Thanks for your advice!

 

i think the most valueable thing for me to comment is on the arragment:P

if it was me, i would jump from 1:12 straight to 1:58.
maybe reuse the quiet part later in the tune if it speaks for it. eg. currently 3:43 mark'ish
if not its not needed for the tune imho.

overall maybe work on more varriations in the drums. nothing drastical. just making small fills everytime the tune asks for it

comments on the mix,
the drums comming it abit too "shiny/bright" in the beginning. automation can easily solve this.


it sounds good and all. and i listen all the way thu

 

Reliefsan Thanks for your comment and advice!
It means alot to me that you take the time to write something! And good to hear that I can keep you interested until the end!
Maybe it's nice to know that i've made this tune on a old laptop Celeron 2.3ghz with 3gb ram and Live 9 . And it was hard to get to this so far.
I had to render a LOT and can't get back to some parts. I hope that i can buy a good laptop next month
Reliefsan Thanks again for your time and advice!! I will make more funky drums next time...

 

My pleassure. Glad to help.

If you cant get some of the parts back, dont sweat it. work with what you have and get it to fit together nicely. Use your ears
Sometimes stepping back from the tune and "relisten" to the tune and pay attention to the different elements (drums/bass/keys) you have to make some tuff choices.

eg.something you spend hours on perfecting, turns out it just doesnt workright in the tune, you then need get rid of it. or you "downplay its importance" and create a new element to sit ontop/instead of the elment that dosnt work right. - its diffucult to get my point across i think, please ask if this doesnt make any sence

anyway,
Your next tune(s) will be even better.
just keep at it. everyday. even if its only 15mins
