I just finished this track recently.  I drew inspirations from many different artists.  Let me know what you think, if you feel so inclined.

Hey, thank you all so much.  Save for the a couple percussion samples, I designed every sound myself.  Including the kick and the bass.  Pretty proud of this one and greatly appreciate the compliments.  Cheers.  (Send me your tunes so I can check out your stuff as well.)

First of all, thank you so much for the praise.  I can't even handle it right now.  I am so thankful.  The lead was made with a basic Analog in ableton.  I had a slow attack on the filter, sweeping the cutoff from 100 at the beginning of the breakdown up to 3k through the peak in the second "chorus" section.  The slow attack gave that "wah" sound I was looking for.  I was sick of all the stabby/pointy things I had been making.

Then I threw on a saturator, EQ, a stereo widener and a compressor and that was basically it.  I didn't detune it or do much else to it.  It worked out pretty well.

Thanks again, guys.  And thank you Heymac for saying it reminded you of SevenDoors.  That's huge.  Major respect for him and am honored to even be compared to him.

Wow, yes like everyone has said, this is a very solid track. It sounds beautiful and warm on my monitors, took me to space for a minute. Great work! Especially on the lower frequencies you really kept the mix in control.

I'll just say I agree with everything else already, as Its already been said!

The only thing ill say could bring this to the next level is maybe focus on longer, more complex chord progressions. If you can get the 'feels' factor in to the downtempo parts of the track, you'll be onto something really really special. Really look forward to more of your stuff dude!

P.S. that bass beat got me movin yo! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
