I would post a higher quality dropbox link but I'm sure that nobody would use it.

Anyway, this is a prog house song. I used tempo changes. I think I did quite well.

Also special thanks to Pyr3light and Sonarch for giving critique. And exo, once he gets around to it ;)

As usual, feedback is much appreciated.

is gud In all seriousness I thoroughly enjoyed this musical composition

Hm, I had always figured prog house was meant to be repetitive like that, so you're focusing more on how everything slowly changes over the course of the song, but that's just me

The intro lead feels rather dry. I could understand it if it was used as an effect in the beginning, but having it so dry and way louder than all the other elements in your track just gets annoying. The intro with only the lead also goes on for quite a while, I dont feel like it should. when it starts arping at 1_38 I feel the chord progression is kinda weird, its somewhat off to me. its also quite annoying how this lead/arp is constant thruout the song, it gets really tiresome to listen to it.

When you introduce the pad at 1:54 it took my my second listen to realize when it came in . this can be good or bad. ITs good cuz its a smooth transition. Its bad because its unoticable because of a loud arp. I even feel as if the pad could be playing on its own and it would be better.

Around 3:30 I get tired from the drums. Theres nothing from with varying up the drums in house, like just place a hat on a different beat at the end of four bars or some shit.

(3:30)At this part you have kind of what would be the euphoric breakdown...if you just could get rid of that damn arp. Like, not just lowpass it, remove it for a little while.

Good work on the tempochanges, I usually hate tempochanges in songs, but it was done very subtly and as a fitting effect, so it worked well.

The outro is kinda boring, but nothing wrong with simplicity.

Arrangementwise Im glad you didnt go for the typical edm pattern, and spiced it up, but at the same time, as you might notice a repition thru this review, why the fuck would you play the same arp over and over thruout the whole thing.

Is prog house eersy.
Is supposed to be repetitive.

But in all seriousness this is the kind of fine, honest critique that I really like. Might do a bit of revision and release like a version 2 of the song or something. So thanks :3

Okay, so, my review...
The intro is a bit dull, I would've not let the two sounds be the sane the whole time (create a more powerful harmony I'd say, and let them come together at the right times).

The synth itself sounds good I guess, though maybe a bit plain. I don't know.

When the clap comes in, I really feel like it could use some damn change. It comes, though bot soon enough imo, in the form of a lovely raising pad. It doesn't clash with the synth (afaik) and keeps the power of the track impact.

The build-up totally felt too empty, especially when suddenly a sub and an intensified pad comes in at the release. It's so sudden, sadly.

The break (tempo lowering) is okay, though I don't feel like it added a lot. It -just- rises in tempo again.

The outro is good though. It is a very fitting outro for sure, and it does it's job well.



There ya have it. My very praising review :/
