seeing what you guys think and how i can bring this back full circle, i want to keep the arrangement simple. The end doesn't fit in that well i feel.

Let me know your thoughts.

Yup - exactly that sound.

That's interesting, i might look into playing with Ableton's tension synth some more. (I did a search on hammer on/off)

You hear where there might be some beat-repeat and reverse effects in there too?

That's what I was thinking, but aren't there like a bunch of other random folders in the audio/library section of our computers that carry some specific DLL files for plugins? Maybe I'm overthinking it and there's really just a few.

After producing for 3-4 hours a day 4 days in a row, I've hit a new level of ear fatigue. I can feel the pain. I need to start being more conscious of my volume while producing & mixing. 

I don't know why I push it, even when I feel fatigue coming there's this masochistic urge to continue at the volume I'm at. I somehow convince myself it's okay and it's worth it.

I feel like at lower volume I can hear the sounds as well. I know that's false, I've learned that your ear can actually differentiate sound better at lower volumes, kinda why at a nightclub you can hear someone easier if you stick your finger in your ear.. Overall volume goes down and you can mix out different sounds easier. You can finally understand that friend asking you to buy him that Moscow mule.

How did you guys learn to produce at lower volumes? How do you still get the same enjoyment out of it? How often do you turn it up? I can't keep hurting myself. Wanted your thoughts on it.

Huge fan of your drum patterns dude.

Sorry for OT !

Left you some feedback on your thread. Good start.

It's very nice piece of work, as your previous WIP Oriental feeling, the voices make this unique. I like the progression coming in 0:20. The break from 0:40 - maybe add some minimal percussion ? My proposal. Also you should combine with other 'little synths' to give track more melodic feeling and flow. Nice man !

P.S. If you want to check my only one WIP, I'll be grateful as a beginner

Thanks!! Would love to.. send it over? here or via PM please.

Nice job dude, the percussion really highlights the tracks movement. What're you doing with the percussion to get that downward pitching snares?

Also where do you get that "hey" sample from, I hear it everywhere.


I think your chord progression at the drop might be too complex or stretched. What if you simplified it?

If you wanted to keep the chord progression maybe adding more of a closing chord to end it.
