Hey there, SJ! :)

That piano is really interesting haha. The bassline behind it add a strong punchiness that I really like :P The vocal at the beginning is a little too loud and clips at the loudest part - might want to bring that down just a bit or add a compressor to even it out. The vocal sounds really cool :D Really big and spacey. You did great making it fit to the music imo :)

Cheers!

The vocal is a little quiet for my tastes. I think if you were to raise the volume of the female vocal just a bit it would sound great. The male vocal is good.

ER

Aw, that is an awesome instrumental girl. I really mean that too. You have very good taste, I must say :P

ER

You have some cool instrumentation on this one. It's very catchy. The vocals (in my humble opinion), could be just a HAIR louder. Like literally a hair. They're on the point of being too soft. Hmmmm, it's so close haha. I can't decide. :P That is just something that I thought when listening to this chill tune. Great work.

ER

I think with a proper mix-down, this will sound awesome. There are some percussion instruments that are too loud/flat sounding but I'd imagine that can be fixed with the proper treatment. I would suggest trying to make the vocals larger via reverb and/or delay. It feels a little too stiffly dropped in the middle and doesn't quite match the large feeling of the overall song.

But the instrumentation is really cool. I dig it. Good work. I look forward to hearing a finished product of this one.

I think something like a splash to help climax the sections at 1:37 and 3:30 would help as well, it's a little disappointing as it feels like it's going to get louder and there's nothing there to satisfy the listener's attention haha.

Nice beat, but I feel like the drums are a little lacking in presence. Maybe turning them up will help?

ER

This one is really cool :) Do you use Garageband? I could swear I hear some of those synths :P Good job on this man, that bass is nice and groovy.

I'm listening to this and it's very good but one thing that seemed to be missing was the presence of a a bass. I think you could definitely up the power of this already-great song (I love the orchestral/choir stuff) by adding some low-end punch :P

ER

I noticed one thing that really stood out: The vocals are too loud when put over the mix. Try bring them down just a bit so that the overall volume can be raised and enjoyed. I have to turn it down so that I can listen to the vocals at a comfortable volume, but then the mix behind it is too quiet.

ER

The dischord at the beginning has a very interesting sense of confusion with it. The electric guitar sounds a little weak in my opinion. I think it may be a little quiet as well in the second part of the song. Might want to raise the volume as it gets a little lost in the mix.

ER

That groove is awesome dude. I love the old-school feel this one has to it. Beautiful work!

ER

Good music, but I feel that the vocal overlays could've been better with a little reverb or something. :) The track is awesome though. I like the dubstep work.

I would like to ask though, if you don't mind: What mic do you use for vocals? And how did you process it in the DAW?

ER

Personally, I like the way the vocal sounds. I think it may be a matter of taste at this point. Maybe the vocal could have more stereo presence since the song is so driving but this definitely well-put together. A little bassy but very good :) Cheers and welcome to the site :P

ER

Sooo. Dreamy. Beautiful. Those spacious accents to the far L and R are lovely to my ears :) Good job! Make MOAR!!

ER

Wow, dat bass line is so oldschool and I love it :) Really groovy. I'd definitely love to hear someone spit a verse or two on this one haha. Those horns are extremely lovely btw :P You never disappoint me haha.

ER

Wow, those pads are so lovely!! There are some subtle sounds in there that really add a nice flavour to the whole mix and I thoroughly appreciated that as an audiophile :)

Cheers,

ER

You can definitely hear the jazz influence your dad gave you :) It takes me back to the 1920s and I don't know why :P It's just so...relaxing :P

ER

DUDE! This is EPIC. I LOVE that drum beat. So groovy and straightforward! Man, you GOTTA make this one longer!!

ER

great composition dude. I dig it. Though I agree with crucethus, the strings do sound very MIDI-ish, maybe use more strings to conceal it? I'm not sure but its not really a big deal. The composition is lovely.

Cheers, I hope to hear a sick rap verse over this soon! :)

ER

Wow, great ambience you have here. I love the quality of your sounds. Big and airy mix, I enjoyed this one a whole lot. Gimme MOAR!! lol

ER

Are you a war veteran, soundhound? I just noticed you said that mud reminds you of blood. Just curious :3

Honestly, I'm at a loss for words on this one. I love this. You and Xyilent make a sick team!! DO SOME MOAR COLLABS!!

ER

I don't know if you use a limiter or not, but it sounds like the track is clipping harshly and giving that distinctive unpleasant sound to the ear that Zerg mentioned below.
