This is a cool start to a track I feel like it has all the oppurtunity to become a really good track too. I think its just missing some things that would help it get to the next level.
I would push the guitar out to the sides of the track and widen it up a lot using reverb and saturation. then I would scoop some parts out of the guitar so that the synth can sit inside the guitar better.
You use ableton so something I would try is to create 2 return tracks and then put a large more stereo reverb on one and then a smaller more mono reverb on the other and then use the sends to give everything in the song a little more space to breath.
The melody also kinda goes on forever without any changes except in pitch (That can work sometimes but I think for this song you could change it up more uniquely) if its a loop you are working with then you should turn it into midi and if you wrote the midi then you should just add a couple of fills or breaks or turnarounds at the 4,8,16 bar (something to tell the listener that change is coming even if the change is it going back and starting over).
For the intro I would think about low passing the melody in slowly and adding a small background tonal or whitenoise riser this will help your track build energy more smoothly
I think the drum build needs some work as well Maybe even wait to bring the kick drum in untill the actual chorus/drop the kick drum is a massive amount of the energy in this track so bringing it in early takes away from people connecting with the melody and the guitar before the dancing really starts.
The half tempo breaks are fucking sweet I like the switch up a lot!
also You could use a lot more saturation in your mixes there very dark
This is a really good start tho just needs some more time spent on it.
Wow thank you so much for the amazing review! I did write everything except the melody which is a loop. I will put everything you said to good use! Thank you :D!

Description : Feel free to check out the video on YT as well (Alan McLaren Project - Upside Down) of this 6min journey from electronic to rock with some psychedelic moments...
This is my latest, but also one of my earliest tracks.... any feedback is more than welcome, thanks :)
Description : 'The main point of this song is really about the frustrations of living in the overload of today's World of Tech. The consequences are impaired communication and that if you advance too far you end up diminishing what you had to start with, so you are way worse off.' Enjoy a 60s Rhythm with a modern deep Bass, a Sitar, a Piano from EvilPianist, a lost flute from UniverseHuston and some Oscillators :-)

Description : A demo of one of my current projects. The chorus vocal sounds like "Aaaaraashe" to me. The song is in C# minor with a nod to C# pythagorean on the chorus. The beat on the verse was inspired by the Peter Gabriel song Intruder.
Description : This is one of my earliest productions that I did at the start of my recording career. I did not have a keyboard at the time I made this song, so I improvised and used my sister's iPad and a 5 dollar GarageBand application instead, and plugged the headset jack into into my PT6 rig and did my best to turn each individual track (which were mono and there were about 25 tracks or so) into a stereo image. Then recorded vocals over it. My computer was so old and slow that I had to mix my music and then BOUNCE it to a new session - four times. My computer (which had 512 MB RAM and an 80 GB hard drive) couldn't handle more than 8 tracks at a time or it'd stop working because the processor couldn't handle it. Took me FOREVER to do. But I got it done. Had a lot of fun doing it too, even if it isn't my "best" work. I'm still happy with it, considering I didn't have many tools to choose from at the time.
Description : Long time lurker first time poster, pretty new to production n stuff, this is my first track in Ableton Live.
was going for a darkwave/synthwave sound, reminiscent of Justice, Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, ect.
Looking for some feed back, constructive criticisms or even just your thoughts if you liked it or not. This is just a rough cut on this current WIP, just the bones of it if you will.. If you have some cool title suggestions, would love to hear those too.
Thanks for listening.
