I might be crazy but is there a change in the synth from 3:28 to 3:31? Just a subtle frequency shift?

And as for personal taste, the track drops off pretty abrubtly, but maybe you are going for that style.

Reminds me alot of how Matt Lange - High Noon ends. Everytime I listen to that song I cry that there isnt more after the end of that track.

Kick isn't fixed and drop feels empty in the mid-high range I think

Just took a listen on samsung buds, I have to agree. it must be my headphones coz I cant hear this on them. I changed the kick completely. Will post an update soon

The synth that comes in at 1:00ish needs to be mixed better. It could have more presence. Might just need to carve out some frequencies or do a dynamic EQ. This way it could move from the back of the mix forward.

Maybe some more compression and reverb on the snare that happens at 3:59. Might just need another layer or two. Might try a diff sample.
Enjoy Responsibly

really cool idea. I think the one thing that really stands out to me is the bassline. Don't think I've heard that sounds before. lol

I think the saw chords around 3:30 can sound a bit bigger and the bass can take a step back a bit to let the melody stand out more.

The breakdown reminded me of Bluestone's "Sinai" for some reason. Maybe it's the vocal FX and stuff =)

nice work dude! my only issue with this right now is that the chord stabs are really lacking in the low mids, sounds wayyy too eq'd/thin. i'd add in a layer that has some warmth and fills out the space it's missing in the mids (~250-1khz) range. should hold up really well to commercial releases of similar style after that :)

Any chance you could explain how you are processing and layering the white noise layer (with the bass), and what frequency range it is?

Suggestions: Maybe take a little bit off the high hat that's sitting on top of the kick. Also, I'm not sure if it's the bass or the chords, but something in the drop is a bit... harsh and, the drop would benefit from the chord filling up more of the higher frequency range.

Coming along nicely. I really like your breakdown.
