Hi! My friend sent me a GarageBand track with just acoustic guitar, and I thought it sounded cool.. So I slapped it into Ableton and made stuff. This is my 2nd track since getting into ableton a couple months ago, so I've got a lot to learn.. All advice appreciated! Mixing, arrangement, anything. Thank you.

Very cool! Inspiring actually.. Makes me want to do something chill like this.
It takes a lot of control, to hold back from making melodies more complicated -- for me anyway.   And not layering too much stuff, and keeping things, well, chill. Nice work on that.
About the flute sound -- I like the initial one at 2:30ish, but when the higher pitch comes in at 3:00 -- that seems to me like it'd be better as a whole nother synth sound, or maybe it does just need some EQ. Not sure.
The sub in the last section was just too subby for me. I thought a truck was driving by, and it didn't do anything musically for me. I like the idea though -- it could be fixed for sure.
Great job!

I agree with Wontolla about the bass -- it's lacking low end for sure.  As for the overall mix.. Hard to critique the rest of it until you beef up the lower freqs. 

Otherwise, very cool! I haven't heard the original, so I can't tell what's you and what's Kaskade -- but either way I like it. 

Nice one!  First, what I like:
The supersaw chords are awesome.
The bass is nice and thick, and the syncopated rhythm is very energetic.
Nice sidechained risers, good buildups.
Overall a good mix -- not muddy or too busy! Sounds really good.

What I'd work on:
As others said, more elements. The first 1:30 especially, could use some melody OR pad OR arpeggio.. something besides the bassline.
The silent moments at 2:00 and 4:00.. I'm torn on that. I like it because it leaves me hanging, but I feel like there could be a little something in there to tell me the song's not over yet. Maybe a reverse reverb of the synth line that's coming, a quiet little riser, a sample of something/someone...

Overall, great work!

Hi folks, I'm kind of an Ableton noob, but been getting really into it the past couple months. This has my wife on vocals. I find mixing to be really hard, but it's probably because I have too much stuff going on at once.... I'm pretty sure I need to strip out some layers -- do you agree?
Any other advice highly sought.  FYI I mixed everything a few dB lower than 0, and later threw OTT and a limiter on the master, and tweaked until it was decent-ish. But I know I have a ways to go.  Thanks!!


EDIT: update -- I changed some stuff, stripped out some extra synths, added some vocal pitch correction (GSnap), changed the hihats, automated some stuff... Thanks for the tips so far!! I think the mix is sounding better. I took out OTT and just stuck with a limiter and Glue.  Here's the updated link:
