I made this while working on another track, but then I got a bit stuck on it. Any feedback is welcomed and highly encouraged.

So, are you looking for just general feedback, or advice on where to go with it/ how to un-stuck yourself? 'Cause if it's the latter, then good luck to ya... I'm terrible at that.

If not, then here's my thoughts:

I like the intro, with the bouncy yet somber delay thing going on. However, that sound feels really distant and kinda faded, in a way that's almost hard to hear. I would probably rework the sound to be more bright and upfront; more of a leading sound in the beginning than an ambient element. I would then tuck it into the back later to make room for the piano when that comes in.

Speaking of which, then the drums and piano come in. For me personally, the drums sound a bit artificial/off in some places. Mostly the snare, which is one of those real abrupt kind of EDM snares. I think I'd like the loop a bit better if it were different, maybe something a bit more snappy and real sounding, with a longer tail or maybe some reverb. As well, the hi hats strike me as slightly attention stealing. I might try and get those to blend in a bit more or something.. Or simply turn them down maybe. Maybe very up the velocities and pitches slightly too.


Of course, these are pretty subjective complaints and suggestions. This is just what stuck out to me personally.

All noted and being worked on. Thanks for the help.
