I really like it, beautiful synth parts, great percussions. Also it has a nice dreamy/spacey mood but it still retains the proper amount of drive and variations to keep things forward.

Smart tune, trippy vid :)

Nice track, I like that phasing/flanging resonant reverby sound.

I think some of the introductions of elements can be a bit more subtle, the toms come in quite abruptly, and so do the 909 type hats. Maybe have an extra layer of volume/filter automation to make their introduction a bit more subtle?

That chord in the break is a really nice development in the track.

I wonder if the kick can be a little bit louder, as the resonant verb lead and chord seem to take over in power a bit. This would only be a small adjustment.

Good work!

Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback!
I will look into a smoother entry of the elements and i can bring the kick up a bit, see how it goes.

Cool tune. I like the bold use of effects on that synth. It sounds really electric.

I think that the hats and kick drum need to be produced a bit further. Maybe you need to hunt and kill those nonessential frequencies and maybe some side-chain compression could add a bit of motion. Or some syncopation if you wanna retain the raw sound instead.

Haha.. i can't figure out why it doesn't work when i choose youtube... :oops:

For some reason im against sidechain.. I like the natural movement of sound and usually just cut frequencies that are in the way.. but you might be right regarding 'adding a bit of motion', I will give it a go!

Thanks guys!

I'll give you a clue, hover your mouse over the youtube tag button or even press it. Look at what appears just above the window where you enter the text.

Come on, you can do it! I'm rooting for you here. :D

I feel like Mr. Miyagi and you've just kicked that cunt Johnny in the face. Well done Ohadohad son.

It's a great track.

Something about the kick though....Sounds alien from the rest of the track

Maybe it's out of key with the toms? Maybe the high freqs should be rolled off?

Thanks Jordan!
I agree about the kick.. I had a listen on my headphones today and it sounded a bit out of the picture... I will try changing the key or roll off the high frequencies.. see how it goes, will try to sit it in better!
