<original> <pony> <progressive house> <avicci>

So I got this house song, right? I wanted to make it a lot like an Avicci song, and i think it's turning out pretty good (wow, that's a first). I got 3 minutes or so done, but I've never been good at the breakdowns. Any advice, or ideas? I'd greatly appreciate anything

I like the intro pluck synth a lot. The delay on it sounds a bit excessive though. Okay, as soon as the kick comes in, it sounds reeeeeaaaaaaly weak. EQ/Compress it better, and probably sidechain it, it's barely audible as it is now. It gets better at 1:15ish but it's still pretty quiet. A chord progression change would probably be good around 1:30. Try to change either the melody or chord progression somewhere in there, because after a while, the 8 bar progression gets tiring to listen to without too much change. The breakdown type thing at like 2:30 is good, but it should go back into the full swing of things again before you lead on into the outro.

As it is now, it's pretty repetitive, but that could easily be fixed with a chord progression change or two. Fix the kick as well, the 4x4 beat is a pretty big part of house, IMO, and it's being drowned out now (when you fix that, make sure you make everything quieter, instead of making the kick louder). The mixing was kinda 'meh' through the whole thing, so make sure you're mixing down further. Overall, the sound design was pretty good, and I'd say it has some potential to be something awesome. Post any further updates here, I'd love to see it progress.

And you might also want to tag with <wip> next time, just to let people know it's something that isn't finished, and is open to change.

sidechain that kick and make it louder.
