Way cool - very clever and interesting - not loving the intro I think it could start at :46 but that's only my take. Could be a soundtrack - what is this 170BPM? - very intricate arrangement at certain points.

Thanks! I'm working on this song still as you can see by the comments but I can't work on it until after thanksgiving break as I'm grounded and can only get on at school. Anyways' thanks!
This is a cool idea and an interesting style! I too am in the process of merging string elements with electronic styles, so it's nice to hear this. I did a quick download to verify if my suspicions were valid, and they were... almost the whole song is clipping pretty severely. I could hear a lot of crackling, which means you're passing 0 dB in your master and/or mp3 encoding. It seems mastered a bit too loud aside from that, and possibly the mix was pretty loud before that. You should check that you are not overdriving the mastering plugins you are using, and that the last plugin in the mastering chain is not outputting anything past 0 dB. You may want to top out even lower than that when mastering for mp3, as those often clip more than a wav encoded with the same mastering settings. The composition was pretty cool though. Just wanted to help you have a cleaner more dynamic end product. Good work!
Thanks! Currently I was working on the melody and just getting things to work. I'm working on the equalizer and masters now to try to get things more in-sync. Joyce also recommended to me some effects which I will be adding. Thanks for the help!
Right at 0:04 there's a threshold glitch, lowering the volume of the synth melody by a few dB could fix that. I heard another one at 0:45.
At 0:46 It's nice to hear a change to a string ensemble in staccato. If you have the tools, you could add more reverb to this, so it's more glued together and feels as a whole.
Try playing with the velocities if you want, because the track has a constant same volume.
It's fun to hear a different track, I like the idea behind this :)
Hey- thanks for the times of these, I haven't been able to tell where it was. I'm still a little new to the program I use (mixcraft 6) and I'm now fiddling with equilizers. That sound made a static at any volume I set it to, which makes me think it's the key. Thank you for this! I haven't had this problem in the past as my headphones are really good and tend to pick up stuff like that. Effects are new to me and I need to figure those out. Thanks for the help!
nice blues-jazz. do you play sax or guitar in here? Anyway it is quite nicely put together. Bassline sounds like from a blues-jazz play-along backing track - very useful for practicing.
Overall enjoyable track, Alex
This is beautifully constructed. Powerful bassline, and great work with the flute and brass instrumentation. This is one of my favorite genre's, and you absolutely did it justice. Nice control of your organs, and everything in general. I would love to be able to work with you in Jazz one day. Keep this up please. I'm begging you. :)
Haha. What's funny is that all these instruments are parts that I made and had electronically done. I do play trombone and it would be so much fun be in a jazz band. Thank you!
