Uhm, you are obviously confusing the process of mixing with the process of mastering. I have my speakers turn down to almost nothing and this is still pretty much too loud. Volume adjustments are part of mixing, mixing should be done first. Mastering a recording like this would only make everything worse. I was going to stop listening, but realized I had made it to the end. Please mix your channels lower, much lower... then maybe you can get a good master.
The whole point of this track is to show new producers what a "rough draft" of a song sounds like. When I first started out I was really discouraged when I compared the quality of my music to say the EDM you would find on the radio. This was solely just to show people in that position that even experienced people's songs sound terrible until they go in and fine tune everything during mixing and then send it off to get mastered. Hope you enjoy the mixed and mastered version coming out soon with a download on my sound cloud!
A very peaceful track all the way through...i really like it. The atmospheric feel throughout, especially after 1:45..just incredible. Can't wait to see the finished product of this .

variation which happens around 1:45 shows we're listening to a skillfull composer who has designed & arranged this track quite measured .
interesting it's a happy energY sharing :)

I feel like you need to chuck a low-pass filter or something on those kicks that start at 0:30, they're pretty deep which is nice but i feel they've still got a little too much high-end considering the other instruments playing at that point are also pretty deep. But other than that, this is great!
You said you're looking for vocals but there's an arp that comes in at 3:10 where the higher parts already sound kinda like vocals, and could deffinitely be used as vocals with the right EQ'ing (don't know if you've heard "Pets" by Deadmau5, but if you have, I imagine it'd sound something like the "vocal sounds" in that).
Also the drumming from 1:32 to 2:15 caught my attention, those snares are pretty cool so good job.
anyway, that's all from me. Keep up the awesome work! :D
I had to listen to another tune while I was here. I see you are still in high school, and that means you have a really, really bright future ahead of you.
A little advice from an old guy who has been at this a while....make sure you keep working on your craft. You will hit some closed doors and get frustrated at times, but keep after it. You have an ear/knack for composition/arranging/engineering. Your sound is current and hip and cool and all of the other superlatives and different too (and that's what the music industry needs right now, an infusion of different). Props man, another great track. I hope all is well.
Thanks a lot! I felt like I needed a little more bass in the drop, but I thought that would take away from the whole melodic feel of the track. But I'm glad you like it!
I see this is one of your first chill out tunes....well, I think you just may have discovered your groove. My God man, this is so lush with this wide beautiful mix. Everything in this is spot on, flawless work. I'm a sucker for great keys and this one is full of great synth and pad work. Definitely added to favorites. Chilled to perfection. Well done!!!!! I hope all is well.
Thanks man! This track really started off with what I had saved as "deadmau5" progressive chords, so I it kinda just came out of nowhere. Who knows, I'm actually working on more chill out/chillstep tracks so maybe it'll take me somewhere. Thanks for supporting both of my tracks!
Nice intro with a great melody. Builds up nicely and i like the way the track flows. Nice bit of side chaining in the drop and i like the choice of synths.
Very euphoric. I enjoyed listening to this piece.

Hey thanks a lot! I had a ton of fun making this track so it means a ton that you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support and now that you mentioned it, I actually did replace the drop kick in a later edit.
Thanks man! I always see some of your chill-out tracks on the featured tracks section so that really means a lot! Who knows, I never made a chill out track before but maybe it's my calling. Cheers!
