Hi Steve :)

im begining to understand with what you meant with live mixdown
i had listen to some of your impresive tracks here , very dynamic feels like you're telling a story with your tracks
wise synths selection and very well leveled especially this track. there is one thing that ticked me ( in a good way ) ...the bassline that start at 1:33
what did you do with it? it sounds so round and full ( i hope you understand what i meant ) it is the exact bass sound that linger in my head. did you layer it with another sound or add compresor/limiter to it? or is there any particular effect that you use for it?

i hope you don't mind that i carry on our conversation here :)

best regard to your family ^o^/

Hello Steve ....

Why "enter" in the technicality details who sometimes of have no common sense .... At least that's my humble opinion.
Without controversy, and without polemical, when I hear a good track, the nice sounds, the melodic parts, I'm therefore to make a comment, because I enjoyed listening .... and encourage the creator to persevere in this direction.
In summary, I appreciate your track here, and the work you've done.
And for to conclude:
For remain logic, nothing is perfect, and if it was .... Many of us would not be here.
I like this track.

Nice chill out music, was well entertained!

Yes, guess you don't get so much time for music. I seem to remember you have children so that's probably why.

Really like intro. Those two parts layered well. The second one in the background is, I think, the stronger one though I'm not necessarily saying switch them round in terms of prominence (though it's worth a try).

My complain here is your pad sound. What's is playing is fine, I just find it a beat clichéd and I think you could find a better one. Going through squillions can be so damn boring but I make myself do it from time to time and sometimes it's boring time really well spent.

Bass arrives nicely on 0:32.

I'd prefer a better bass drum sound though must admit I'm listening to this on crappy headphones. Kick sounds better mixed in with other drums but on its own thee are others I definitely prefer.

Classy little pause and bass drop on 1:30. Similar on 1:44 but you keep the kick going so that's good variety.

Pad chord emphasis on 2:02 sounds particularly good.

2:13 trippy build up synth sound very effective.

Everything is motoring along so nicely now and this isn't cheesy.

It's a well chosen blend of sounds you have here. This isn't the most original style (most things aren't, if that makes sense) but it's done very well. Lots of beauty and positivity and joy and fun.

I guess when the beat returns in the second half, the track doesn't do a whole lot more than first half but then some might say there is no need when you have these effective elements.

Actually, 4:41 new slow, hi and beautiful lead part that is very relaxing and slightly sad, though only in a good way.

Not so much for me to pick out as being 'wrong' with this and I'm really trying.

I bet you two considered reviews (of my stuff) that by the time you have got to 100 plays, at least 5 people will have said they love it and it's so relaxing and beautiful etc. Don't laugh! Do we have a bet?

I'll give a better, fuller review later. Just wanted to briefly say that this grew on me a lot as I was listening to it.

Thought at first I wouldn't like it as it seemed a bit bright and happy and slightly cheesy for my tastes. But, no, it's actually really good and a lot of fun. Quite charming, really.

Again, more details later but I can't hear anything much out of place in the mix either.

Various people are now going to come along and tell you how much they love this.
