ahh i'm glad i asked. i was here thinking by expander you meant making it wider & thought that can't be right, thanks haha

bump

Hope you enjoy!!

really gorgeous song! i think maybe what vermont meant was (this is just my opinion) that the claps seem to be getting drowned out? I actually think the kick is a little overpowering, but I'm not sure if it's my headphones.

anyway, this is super legit though looking forward to hearing more!

Thank you! I haven't had internet for a bit so haven't been able to reply. Appreciate the feedback & will it keep it in mind

Thank you man!

What do you mean by percussion though, the claps during the drop or the toms?

I was excited to see a new piece of work posted by you. That being said, I really like the intros vocals. At 0:25 there is a weird riser I hear? Not sure if it's some weird feedback but it's very faint and does not sit well at all. I had to go back and replay it couple of times cause I wasn't sure if that was just some outside noise I was hearing. I like your arpeggio you have going, what did you use to make that if you don't mind me asking?
At 1:50 there's another riser it sounds like that's maybe out of key? May need to be pitched up a little bit more, kind of sounds outside of the mix. It's kind of clashing with the reverb of the vocals, maybe just use some noise. That's just being extremely picky though. Great work!

noted! thank you for the feedback 

the arp is kontakt factory library's nylon guitar layered with a sound from waldorf's nave!

hi! i've been working on this one lately & would love your opinion. i have the drops pretty much as i want them, the break needs some adjustments & i need to create an intro & outro but let me know what you think!

it's all just a bit over-compressed with the drop, it sounds like you've got a compressor on the master? & the vocal chops are way louder than your bass so it creates a weird pumping effect due to the attack/release not being set right. with a master compressor you want a short attack with a medium/long release, it should be subtle because remember it's working on everything!

also, the build/break before the drop is clipping slightly. make sure your meters aren't going into the red, instead of turning things up when you want them louder turn everything else down, you can bring it all back up at the end & make it all even louder without having it clip.
