Greetings. Another review for you because you gave a good reply to my last review.

Piano intro is decent and there's another melody layered in there that works well.

0:31 main theme is a simple, uplifting few chords. And you're building up to letting those drums drop ie 1:16 as the kick enters.

I find the synth sound of the main theme a bit too bright and fizz. So, try using filters (eg cutoff and resonance) to tone that down a bit. Or EQ might also work.

Also, that main sound sits there just the same the whole track so you could definitely give it more variety and have more fun with it if you automate some filters or EQ or delay or reverb. Or maybe all of them.

1:30 another woodblock sort of synth instrument with another melody.

2:15 we abruptly lose the drums in an effective way so you can break it down and then bring it all back in again.

This is fairly uplifting stuff you can dance to.

You can improve it by getting so better definition on your drums and sculpting the sounds a lot more. You can do it by hand using MID controllers or you can just do what I do - draw it all as automation (with the mouse) that controls all of your different parameters in Logic (not that I use that software).

So, you have different 'lanes' for everything you want to control. Please ask if you're not sure what I mean and I'll answer.

Anyway, good work. Very good for a second track!

Hi again static,
Bro I gotta thank you for taking some much time to break it down and review it! It really helps me develop my skills and production.
I know what you mean by adding automation by what kind of parameters could i change to spice up the drumming a little?
I already separated the drums into different sections (i.e snare has it's own track, kick has it's own track and so on) but what parameters should i change for all of these?
I'll also work on controlling that "fizz" in the main synth part , perhaps a high cut plugin could get rid of that?
Thank you so much for the help and advice!
All the best,
George

One acapella by Elven Voice, one loop by GenaMusic... So separate but something common...I decided to merge them and to leave them as clean as I could. Just added some synth pads and percussion.
