First half of possible song
« on: March 31, 2016, 12:02:55 am »
I have the first half a this song complete for the most part but I am unsure about how it sounds and how it is arranged.
I'm looking for any feedback I can get so I have an idea of where to go with this.

Well, it's kind of unfortunate you haven't gotten any feedback here yet. Really, the sound of the song itself is already good. Assuming you can mix well, I don't think you'll have any trouble there.
As for the arrangement, there's plenty of things you can do. You could get into an four-on-the-floor switchup for the second drop. Or you could go for something more chilly. I have seen, on occasion, a future bass tune turn into a melodic DnB song on the next drop. You could turn it in into something "harder", closer to trap. You could omit all other drops entirely. Just remember that it's YOUR song. You can make it as long, short, or as futuristic as you want.

Wow, the sound is very good :) Wondering when I will reach this level ;)

But, about what you want to know - arrangment. Between main theme in break and drop there's not difference enough I think. Try to add some background/effect synths. I imagine some rhytmical synths for every beat. You know, some saws on 1,2,3,4. Vocals are great. And maybe from 1:04 more percussion samples ? Some hats or something. Because the whole piece is catchy but it's boring so focus on this things that are making the song interesting. Next, on 2nd break I see some nice space arppegios :D So, keep it up Men and good luck on this !!
