Desperately need some help or inspiration completing this. I like the way it sounds but I can't figure out
how to drop it without losing the flow and keeping it interesting and engaging. I'd be incredibly grateful
if some of you shot me your opinions :) Plus I'll gladly check out your tracks if you respond ;)

I like the backing instruments. I think that the voice sounds too faint, or as if it was in the background? Add some more high frequencies and bring it towards the front. I think if you make it the center of the piece you can keep the energy going with the dynamics of the voice!

Thanks for the feedback Mhaun!
I agree actually, the vocals sound a little weak. I had to use a cover for the vocals because there isn't an acapella,
so they're a little over-processed :c Definitely gonna put some work into fixing that.

Something completely different!

- When the vocals kick in, I like the groove and overall sound, but there's something really dissonant in the background. I think a part of it is that ambulance(?) drone thingy, but also the piano has the sustain pedal left on which probably contributes! Actually I kind of like the ambulancey thing, it's probably not that.
- Kick could be more powerful
- Vocals definitely should be louder and have more high end
- After this buildup the track really has to blow up :) Needs a huge wall of sound.
- Is there some heavy compression in the master? The mix sounds very "wobbly" and low-quality because of that, especially after 0:44.

Yeah, I would improve the mix. The strings are loud, and it's a little messy. I like it musically tho!

Thanks for the feedback, love your work! I know it's messy, I've been trying to clean it up, but unfortunately I
don't have a clean acapella, so everything does sound a little distant and muddy. Going to put most of my work
into fixing that :)

Thanks for the feedback :) I'll get right on that wall of sound haha
Same as before though, thanks for the comments on the mix, I'll try and capitalize on what you suggested and
clean it up a little.

Liking this defo needs to go into a dirty Dubstep drop
Needs brightening up a tad more.
