Quick ambient tune, any thoughts/criticisms?
Thanks :3

No real complaints, really. I feel like that single voice sample just stuck out like a sore thumb in a bad way, to be honest, but it's not too random, and still fit in a sense. Very relaxing and nice sense of tone. I would actually recommend putting something with some high frequencies in, though. It sounds really bottom heavy at the moment. Maybe a pluck with a delay, and just put a single note on every bar that follows the progression.

I really liked it, though. Nice job.

The track has a very solid ambience, so good work on that.
I agree with Symphon that there's too much low end. It could use a little more in the mids/high frequency range.
That vocal sample, while I'm not quite sure if it fits, doesn't sit well in the mix. You can't understand what's being said (though most Bronies know it by heart, haha) and it doesn't stand out.


Good work!

About the vocal sample, I did mean for it to be rather subdued and blurry in terms of what's being said, but yeah it's a bit out of the mix.
(And it does more top end, oops.)
Thanks for the feedback though, I appreciate it.

As far as adding some highs, I think all you'd really need to do is raise the peaks on the filter adsr for some of the synths.

Along the same lines, I get what you were trying to do with the sample, and you're doing it wrong if you want that effect. If you want something to be indistinct without sounding badly mixed, the solution is actually really simple: just roll down the gain, and bump up the reverb. It gives the sample a sense of being very far back in a large space, while not messing with the harmonics at all.
