Typing as I listen. That bass wub you have can be filtered in. Automate the volume too.  Try to have a more dramatic build up.  The drop doesnt really sound like a drop. You're using the same sounds and such that if I skipped to a random part in the song I wouldn't be able to determine if it's the drop or build up.

The idea behind the song is great and I think it flows really well and I like how the growls arent overpowering in the drop, I agree with Peter that the sounds between the drops should maybe be different but the drop is definite in my opinion. It sounds great! Good work

This is cool, the idea is great.

You need to subtract certain elements when the drop happens, most notably that delayed bit crushed lead. it'd be better if you let it drop out during the wub part and reintroduced during the build up part 1 and 2.


Your introduction needs to be shorter. Don't make the bass line go all out with the wubs, save the entire phrase for the drop. (1 wub on the down beat, every 2 bars)

total removal of the wub on the second build up.

between the 13 and 14 second mark is where i'd bring the drop in.


There's not enough musicality in this tune to warrant it to be 4min longs, at most it should be like 3min.  With some clever musical design and better arrangement, it could be about as long as you wanted it, but you need to use silence and space (especially during intros/buildups) as a tool in your creation.

the delay bit crushed effect was cool on the lead, i wasn't suggesting you remove the effect. I was saying in terms of arrangement that that SOUND SOURCE needs to drop out and come in at specific times.


but it seems more cohesive in your latest preview, still got a little bit of work to do.


it's pretty good for a chill song, but you should consider developing your musical themes in the context of the song.
