Love the variety. It's such a smooth track. The glockenspiel (I think) flair like at 2:05 is cool to hear. The instruments have excellent tones as well. It's not just good, it's fun to listen to.

Hey! I used this track on a new song. I'm hoping you take the time to listen, very funky beat i loved getting on this. I used someone elses vocals for the introductory part. I come in around 40 seconds or so.
Anyways, I appreciate you sharing this and would like to get your advice and thoughts on the track.

If you are being Superfluous can I be Extraneous? I liked it with its nonconformant chord changes. I find the people who have a hard time following this are not drenched in theory and understand yet where and when you can break the rules. you, my friend, get that here.

Really like the elements to this track. The heavy bassline bangs! I think this beat would benefit greatly by cutting down on all the variations your threw in there, as it makes it feel unfocused and a bit all over. Also, the mixing could use a little work on the higher end specifically. But i love the sound you achieved either way yo.

Thanks for listening!
While I understand what you mean by too many variations, personally, I'd rather have something with too many variations than something with not enough that the piece gets stale. I tried to put in enough similar parts that the main idea is kept, while also maintaining freshness throughout. I agree that the higher end mixing / eq could have been better.
Thanks again!

Ok. So dont take anything as a negative as I am a very critical listener. Plus, I feel as if the goal is to uplift folks. Comments are just people’s personal opinions and preferences.

1. I like the keyboard patch and the warmness of it. But to be honest, I don't even know what key this track is in. It would be really tough for a singer to keep consistent voicings to match this track. Except,... for the 1:23 mark. Nice progression there.

2. It was just tough for me to follow in general because you don't know where a verse or chorus really are (if its meant to be a track for a rapper/singer). The part at the 1:23 mark I spoke of returns later on, but in no specific pattern... again, tough for me to follow.

Overall, there is some good stuff here.

Good job.

Hey, thanks for taking the time to listen to this!
The piece is in the key of Ab, with the main chord progression being IIIM7 - IM7 - bii halfdim - Vadd2 - IVM11 -> IVM7 with some variations throughout, such as IIIM7 - IM7 - bIIM7 - Vadd2 - IVM13 - VIIaug(tritone sub)
Which is difficult, given, but I thought it sounded alright overall.
I'm not sure if you meant 1:23 because that's basically the same progression as most of the piece - I'm guessing you meant 1:50 maybe? That's when we do a brief stint into Db sort of.
I kind of was only categorizing this as a hip hop piece because it kind of sounds like one? I guess it wasn't meant for a rap.

Anyways, thanks for listening, and thanks for leaving feedback!

Description : A reimagining of my original track Drive which was uploaded some time ago. This time a female vocal has been added with the help of AceStudio and the track updated somewhat to a hopefully better standard.

Enjoy!

Description : I wanted to create a Euro dance anthem with a hip hop beat and a lower bpm than the traditional 128 to 136 bpm range. This is the beat I created. No AI has been used in this track. I created everything myself. It is a purely instrumental beat. I used Rapid Synth for the euro lead sound and the melody has been composed by me. The drums are a loop from this site.
