--> Another track I've been working on for a while that I just completed. Totally rough (and sort of busy) mix, but it's feeling somewhat complete as a composition at this point. Not sure how I feel about the ending though. Any thoughts?

this is very nice, the melodies are great and sound of the mix is too, in my KRK rokit8 monitors the bass is maby a little too loud..

way too much bass.

like.. insane.

haha, noted. yeah, i wasn't really paying attention to much other than the overall levels when i rendered this.

the beats are great, but as always, its the synth sounds and melodic compositions that really sell me.
on my first listen, the arpeggio-type breakdown really struck me as too melodramatic, and i felt it really broke the mood of the first part, which is delightful. On second listen i might step down from that decision a little bit. it feels more natural this time around. a quick compositional fix to something like that, though, might be a textural or single note slow build up to that sort of 'flood of notes' you create. a simple addition like that could be really unobtrusive and also help the flow a bit.

but i'm really just nitpicking-- regardless, i love it.

that's the kind of nitpicking i'm after....good advice, thanks.

Jesus. way too much on the low end. But I love the delicate melodic plucks/staccato notes, and I actually like the arpeggiated parts. Its hard to pick out other parts though with the bass so loud...its really in your face.

I think that the song does seem to drift from idea to idea..there doesnt seem to be any motif or central theme, or hook, whatever. I am not sure what you are going for..but overall I really like the melodies.
