Loneliness WIP
« on: July 15, 2016, 05:39:28 am »
The past few months maybe even year, I've found myself kind of drifting away from the dream of being a live performer. It's bittersweet because part of me feels like I'm giving up, but part of me just can't produce anything when I'm distracted of what my image would be on stage. All I want is to make emotional music. Lately I've been making such fragmented ideas, things that reflect the glimpses of beauty we all see on a day to day. I'd love any feedback on this. It's really just a fragment like I said.

I like the kick coupled with the bassy synth and pad at the beginning.
The synth that starts at 0:30 is just gorgeous, and goes great with the other elements. Everything that filters in after that also sounds great - I love the trance influence, yet it has such an emotional feel. It's really cool.

That being said though, I'm not the biggest fan of the kick that comes in at 1:14/1:15. I think it's a bit too dry, and too long as well. I would cut down on the 'out', and take off any reverb you have on it. Maybe think about cutting out the mid/high range as well - not the high register portion, but just the mid/high range could be dipped down a bit. Some more compression wouldn't hurt either.
The kick at 2:30 sounds excellent though, I would just use that one throughout to be honest and maybe bump up the velocity when needed such as with the section at 1:15.

Aside from that little nitpicky thing on the kick, I really like this track. It's unique, short, and gets the point across.
Love it man. <3
