Hey man, Yeah I was referring to the volume levels. Did some comparison of your track to others in the same genre. What you have here is a good structure drums are really good, but the string you have sounds like it needs another instrument to play along with it because I think it sits above everything else by itself. You got some space to add another synth (in my mind I hear the string then that extra synth (or vocals maybe) goes duht datta dah duht daahh lol you know?) I'm not sure what you're aiming for it just might be fine but something about that string is not sitting right in the mix when I listen again. I do like this idea though. My apologies for not being much help, Im stuck about this instrumental too ha. Try listening to it without the string and see if anything comes to mind. Keep at it, Peace.

Hello 1 Hand, Good 1st attempt. The padded strings have a nice seat with the drums, the effected synth in the background connects them. The guitar adds a nice flavor to the overall feel of the sound. I think you have enough going on here but does sound like something is off balance. Maybe try something in level mixing area. The guitar and effected synth might not be loud enough. I think that might be the case. Good simplistic melodies that kept the listen interested, also liked the knocking kit. Just enjoy messin around, it will be clear when its time. Thanks for sharing, Peace.

Thank you so much for the feedback. I understand some of what you said. I def know I have issues with volume. Is that what you mean by mixing levels? I tried turning the guitar up some. And added variations to the drums. No sure what to do about the clap. Sound real generic. Def feel like something is missing threw out the song. Again thanks for your help.

This started as a bandlab beat called Gridlock. Just mentioning in case someone wants to go get a clean version of the main backing track.
