    Im surprised at how clean it sounds for your first track, congrats.
    My first was 100 times muddier :)
    I only really flicked through it but it seems like a pretty good start to production. The arp and keys annoyed me a bit but thats just a matter of taste I guess.
    Keep learning and keep up the good work.

    It's not bad at all for a first try.

    I think the song is a bit boring over time, tbh. Try to change something every 4 or at least 8 mesures. Adding or taking away an instrument or change something about your midifiles, adding notes, or taking a few away. It will keep the attention of the listener.

    Thx Barn,

    I know it's too slow, it's 120.
    I started the project to discover Logic and I built on it till I managed to get a track.
    During the process I got used to 120 and didn't bother me till I actually listened to it after a few days' pause.

    Can you suggest some patches that will do better, maybe?
    I have nexus, sylenth, omni

    Thx

    Like Monsanto said, it sounds 100 times better than my first track. Test how it sounds with the bpm a little higher, like 126-128. If you go up to like 140 it will get a happy hardcore vibe. Also, spend a day watching/reading tutorials about compression. Once you understand the basics, put one on a track, tune it, repeat.

    It might sound a little better if you bring down the reverb of your synths and add it back in via mixing it with a reverb send.

    One more little thing to help clean up the sound. Add high or low pass filters and gently dial them in to get rid of excess sound.
