Like shortbus said, its all in the mix! i really wish this was my song. you have MADDD Skills! just keep working on your mixing. the way the track is formatted is fine. you are already ahead of the game
Nice one, i like this track, i agree with the others though it could do with some improvement on the mastering side. If i can explain this right, you need to seperate the beat coz when its playing together with the melody it sounds all mushed together (if that makes sence). Maybe add some reverb on the hihats and try and take the kicks frequency away from the sub so they sound a little more seperate. also i would add some slight reverb on the snare that hasnt got any, not alot just a little. Love the synths. once you get these little minor improvements in this will be a big tune! also if you use fruity loops i always find that adding maximus and lowering the low frequencies a tad overall makes the track sound 10times clearer. keep up the good work m8! nice one.
Thanks for the good constructive critique! :) I tried adding Maximus and after a bit of work it actually sounds pretty good. Am gonna upload the track again now when i mixed and mastered it a bit.
The 8 bit sounds in the start seem to stand out a little. I'd lower the volume of the chiptune synth just so it flows along with the chime melody a little more smoothly.
The drum pattern and bass sound quite nice together, and the additional 8 bit sounds sound quite nice as well.
Theres a lot of room for improvement in this track though, and I'd say a lot of that lies in the mixing and mastering. The first snare hit sounds fine, the second reverb snare however seems to be a little to over powering. Lower the volume on the that a little, and that will be one step in the right direction. Try and get your volumes so that it doesn't make the meter doesn't go into the red area/doesn't hit the top of the meter.
Follow Shortbusmusic's advice, he seems to be able to explain it better than I can.
I know I went a little negative in my review but don't worry, its a good track, you just need to learn to mix and master a little better. I can't really suggest how to do it, bieng as I'm not amazing at it myself, but if it feels like everything flows smoothly and you can hear all the sounds you put into the song clearly, then you've probably done a good job.
Thanks for the review! Always good getting feedback from different directions and points of view. :)
About the negative aspect of it, It´s all cool. I know how to take it the right way, as long as critique is sincere it´s always helpful in some way you know. :)

This is probably the most flattering compliment I´ve ever gotten from someone.
