Its started out with he guitar, which I loved.Didnt know you would take it where you did. Its techno chill bro. im really feelin it. Nice work. Love those fades.
2:14 brings it all down to start again, but with all the knowledge and learning that you bring to it from the first section. It is a compelling track. the bottleblow, or pan flute, or what ever that sound is, gives it a unique flavor which is really exotic and I love your work. congrats.
Hi there. I really like the guitar playing right from the start and this is an interesting piece of music. Not as predictable as I thought it might be.
Waves right at the start set the scene nicely and the filtering kind of suggests the guitar might be being played underwater.
0:32 nice pad sound and sub bass hit. Following those guitar chords nicely.
1:07 good low bass tone and then some steadier kick to push things forward. Your lead 'tropical' instrument (pan flute?) is quite fun. Sort of a bit cheesy but it fits the vibe. Blissful chillout music.
I thought more of the guitar should have been included in that section though it certainly returns later but only briefly. I'd really like to hear it worked in in the second half, probably with a fatter, steadier beat.
Doesn't have to go full on into club music but you've got some moving, epic sounds here so layering everything up into something more powerful would be fitting. It could still be kind of chilled.
Just a few thoughts. If no changes, still a good track.
Hey Static,
Glad you think that the guitar is not predictable, thats really what I was going for. As for the playing it underwater, I was going for it more so being played on the shores of a beach in the sand, but the underwater idea sounds cooler and makes me look like I was really thinking about the filtering when I was doing the song so ill go with that. Glad you liked the cheesy pan flute as well, I liked the vibe is gave the entire piece so i stuck with it. Now that you mention the whole fixing the track business, I was actually going back and reworking it and might release it again so be sure to check back for it!
hi. this is very cool track - the guitar playing is quite simple in a way but the processing you added was excellent. Very fine downbeat vibes! That's what chillout is all about. Now after listening to your tropical track I feel like just being totally chilled out. Great work - too much details to comment. All is pure electronic. Just to let you know I enjoyed it! Best, Alex
Brilliant work! The guitar at the beginning (at-least I assume that's a guitar) has to be my favourite part but the entire track has a really good vibe going for it. Then we get the piano breakdown and more guitar which is wonderful. Also whenever I hear strings in music, I love it even more.
Well that was really really good man. Very peaceful but up beat at the same time, I was grooving through the whole track! I would have this in my playlist!
Awesome track, your guitar intro is superb, love the roughness going into smooth, then the slow build into synth pipes? great guitar bridge and pad 2.12 to 2.42 then another nice build again, good finish. if anything a couple of transitions could have been smoother and the ending though good just wanted to be faded out slightly sweeter, but hey this is a brilliant track and I would gladly play it on my Belter Radio show if you were interested. Great work.
Very best wishes,
Mark
Hey Larry,
Thanks for the comments! A couple of the transitions in this track were hard to pull off because the intro guitar part was actually played swung and the pan flute part was played straight. So that it made it a little messy, but in the end I believe I was able to work it out.
Also, I would love to have it played on your show! You can contact me at enrico.ludwick@gmail.com and we can discuss the details.
Very good control here! I'm surprised that this sounds so good and is the unmastered version. This sounds perfect as it is. Very great choice of instrumentation. Very capturing intro. The transition at 1:45 was incredible, with a nice timing gradual come back to the main body of the track. I also love the outro. Such a gentle and string-oriented farewell for the track. Marvelous work here, my friend! Truly looking forward to hearing the complete, mastered version!
thanks for the kind words! I'm glad that you noticed what i did with the outro; I personally thought it was cool. Look for my mastered version on sound cloud!
Nice riff. I'm not noticing any clipping on my headphones so i'd say the mix is alright. I like the choice of instruments and the arrangement. The melody is good and you've got the right drops in all the right places.
I enjoyed listening to this track.

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!
