The link you put in is private, can't view, have to use bottom link.

Anyways, the track is very good for a progressive, nice and long like a progressive should be. The beginning was very nice, middle, and end, very good. Not much to say really, the only thing I have to say is that "ding" that goes throughout the song seems a little bland. Maybe instead of having it stay the same throughout you could possibly make a small melody out of it when it starts to progress, or just make a little variation out of it. And maybe a lead to go with it. It kind of seem that we're just following chords the entire time, which is nice, they have a good progression,but maybe just have a small lead to reinforce it. It may be a good idea, or a bad one, idk, i'm just going with what i hear in my head. still pretty good overall though.

I'm digging it. There's nothing too revolutionary going on, but it's a solid pro house track and I really like the chord progression.

I do feel that the lead when it's in pluck form, and especially when it's loud but also largely holding the track on its own (like at around 00:50) lacks a bit of fullness to it. I would try adding some more notes in the same chords but an octave lower, or maybe just adding another layer to the synth an octave lower or things like that, Or EQ it differently.

As well, the kick sounds like it has a bit too much punch in the mid range and not enough rumble in the low range, which might help full out the eq spectrum a bit. Not even to make it louder, just more felt and a little less heard.

There's also not a whole lot of bass action going on. I mean, it's there but it's pretty quiet, it sounds like. It actually still sounds good even without the bass levels being as high as I normally see for the genre, but mixing yours in more might sound better.

Then there's the "ding" Guthey mentioned. I don't really have a problem with the repetitive nature of it, since I think of it almost as a percussive element really, but I admit I didn't really notice it until Guthey pointed it out. One thing you could do is have it be considerably louder, but only bring it in when the songs transitions from heavy to soft (like at 2:57 or 6:24) to add an extra element to make up for the synth going back to having the cutoff or whatever, and let the ding have it's time to shine but also not wearing out its welcome.

Just some ideas. Again, solid track though. Keep up the good work m8.

The buildups and the tension are keeping me interested during this whole track, which is saying something. I'm usually very hard to keep in one place, especially when I'm dealing with an instrumental track. I'm lacking a bit of bass or some other nice groove to keep my head bobbing. Not sure if that's something you want to put in, or are planning on sorting out later.

From someone not listening to a lot of house or caring much about instrumental tracks, it comes as a bit of a surprise that I enjoyed it. You've got some interesting melodies and progressions going on, and you let them play juuuust until I think I don't want to hear more of them. And then you switch it up. Nice variation!

I'm getting a strong "Deadmau5 - The Veldt" feel off of this track. I like it.
