[Chillout] Shikimo - Leisure Break
« on: January 08, 2016, 08:30:12 pm »
A chillout track released in September of 2014. Not one of my most recent tracks, but one that I'm pretty proud of.

Hope you enjoy it, it's free download as well!

Any and all comments/criticisms are welcome. <3

Great job on the track, loving the feel it gives off. One little criticism, which could be just from my headphones:  it sounds like you've got a little bit too much going on at the high frequencies and it starts getting a little painful to listen to after a while.
Other than that good stuff, listened to some of your other tracks too, I really like the ambient works 2015 ones.

Great job! I agree about the high frequency stuff being a little painful, the distortion early on doesn't help and sounds kinda weird. I will add too that in the beginning a kick with no high frequency material  works, but as soon as the bass comes in it gets very difficult to distinguish when the kick is hitting as the bass is occupying the lower frequency and the kick has no high frequency to help it stand out. It may be worth it to try and cut away/eq either the bass or the kick's low frequencies (the bass is a good idea in this case) somewhere around 100hz would be a good starting point, but its up to your ears. Great job otherwise, love what you have going on in this song!
