Description : PLEASE REVIEW!
This was all based around the sound of the piano, I loved how it sounded.

I would love all the criticism I can get, this is the one track I'd like to improve on.

Im not too great with mastering my tracks really myself but if i had to make a suggestion it would be the same one you keep hearing, which is to make the kick stand out a bit. A little less reverb on the piano too once it kicks in. Other than that this is a fantastic track, i thought it was overall fairly excellent. You get a 2 thumbs up from me.

Peace Love Jesus!

hey man i like the intro on this its koo, but i think you should make the kick stand out and i think it would improve the sound of beat, but the beat is great man

Great intro! loved how the piano just played around givin you a loose sound,then the build up was perfect. Maybe I would beef up the base in your kicks to give it more impact when you come out of that build-up after the intro. but other than that its great!

Thanks! I've been having a hard time learning to master my tracks, especially when it comes to bass and snare hits. Seems they always overpower everything or are drowned out. Thanks for the review.

Hiya bro.... nice vibe you got happening here... im the same fella i love piano's.

On the production side... i like what you have done so far, but i would maybe say lower the volume of the reverb on the piano, and also put an eq cut at about the 120-200hz sorta mark (And about 500hz on the reverb if you can) to clean it up.
also if you can, i would probly say try to put a side chain compressor on almost everything that isnt drums and have it being triggered by the snare, d&b artists "The Brookes Brothers" use it all the time and it works wonders in making the track come alive.
Also on the bass side i would say make another copy of it, cut everything below about 350-500hz on one and change the other for a sine wave cutting everything above 600hz on it.

it sounds like you may have already done this but the sub wave seems a little detached from the high bass.

Hope you dont take offence to the advise, cause if i didnt like your work i wouldnt have even commented at all.

Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing bro :)
