Woo, I think I'm finally getting the hang of house.
Any suggestions on what to do better on next time around?
(besides that godawful supersaw...)

For the intro, you did a good job of syncing the vocals to the beat, except at 0:58-0:59, there's a noticeable pause. It's pretty minor, but I thought I'd point it out anyways. Would it have been possible to warp the vocal audio to fit it, instead of slicing it, to fill in that gap?

When you bring the vocals back in at 1:32, if I counted correctly, it sounds like they come it on beat 3 or 3.5, which seemed wrong, I would have expected it to be beat 1 or 4. The following vocals sound well synced, mostly. IDK... it's like, you did a really good job making them match up to the beat, but they're 1 or 2 points from perfect, if you know what I mean.

The build up to 2:13 was really nice, especially in that it matches up with the vocals.

I really like the little glitchy thing and trills at 2:40.

Again, build up and transition for 5:03 was awesome.

The outro starting at 5:34 seemed kind of long.

General note: The audio quality sounds kind of poor. Is that just soundcloud being bad? Could you have bounced at a higher quality/bitrate?

Nice job!

[TranquilHooves]

Thanks a bunch!
Yeah, I'm not too proficient at getting vocals to fit considering the original was 3/4, but I gave it my best shot.
and yeah, soundcloud kind of compresses the crap out of audio in a bad way.

Ditto Vapor on the vocal notes; also, Celestia starts to get drowned out about 1:53. That might just be the samples you had began to dip there, but just something I heard.

At 2:11: was that the chorus? It sounds a bit muddy (which might be Soundcloud and it's compression) and it loses flow. I'd have at least kept the kick in there or something to keep pacing.

I'm digging that blip sound you brought in at 3:53.

Personally, I don't like how separated the clap is from the kick. I like something a little closer together so it sounds like one sound (in my opinion, at least).

Overall, you produced a nice track. The biggest thing was the loss of flow on the chorus. Just toss in a kick and side-chain compress that sucker, and you're good to go. Good job!

[TranquilHooves]

Yeah, I probably should've EQ'd the clap and kick together a little more so it'd have more punch, but I didn't want the clap and kick together TOO much on this particular track.
Also, the chorus is, yeah, pretty bad :/. Thanks though, I appreciate the feedback.
