New instrumental that I made. Tell me what you think, what should be fixed,etc. I really need the criticism. Lol Here's the track: https://soundcloud.com/flashinglightsof ... l-goodbyes

^ what kyoga said, the melody, timing, and harmonies are a bit awkward... lots of the ideas you have are really cool and sad though (especially at about 1:40), it's just that lots of the time, it sounds like it has no purpose, or just doesn't make sense...

you might also want to add some kind of pad or background to it... idk what, maybe even just like a waterfall or something like that...

your track has a lot of potential though ^^

That's the spirit!

I have to agree with everyone else; all the instruments do seem a bit off-kilter. I feel like you were putting in maybe a bit too much syncopation with the drums, which is tough to do in an ambient track since there's so much white space. Either a straighter 4/4 drum beat or one that has more going on would probably fix this right up; in addition, I felt like the simple kick and snare could have used a bit of audio doctoring for a fuller, more unique sound. That's just a personal choice, though, and if you like what you had, then who am I to judge? All that said, I enjoyed this piece. Your composition is quite enjoyable to listen to, just some rhythm and processing stuff that, with your work ethic, you'll have worked out in no time.
