I was in one of those annoying ruts where I wasn't writing anything I liked until, out of the blue, I came up with an odd little melody that sparked this song. Ended up using it for the RX950 song challenge since the samples and the RE worked perfectly toward the vibe I was going for.

Very nice melody indeed, great job!
I only got one issue, drums and percussion sound really acoustic (as in live drums) while the rest is soft synth-ish and i'm not feeling it gel.
I rather have it go one route and not mix live/synthetic;
Replace the main lead with a guitar and add some strings (to maintain atmosphere) while keeping drums/percussion
OR
replace the kick with something deeper and tighter, and find another snare (maybe wet, with added reverb?)
Just my opinion, trust your artistic freedom

Really appreciate your input on the track. Kind of curious to hear how the song would sound if I build on it similarly to how you've recommend. If I end up giving it a makeover, I'll let you know. The reverb on the snare is very minimal even though my original thought was like yours to soak it in a little more 'verb. Couldn't quite tweak the reverb the way I was hearing in my head and abandoned ship on endlessly tweaking to ensure I wouldn't lose track of finishing the song before the deadline.candybag wrote: ↑20 Apr 2018Very nice melody indeed, great job!

I know the feeling all too well, tweaking for days.
I also find it hard to remake a track based on internet opinions, even if it's good advice. It's like a part of me just want to move on. Any makeover becomes a chore
Good luck!

I remembered I still hadn't commented on this one. Listened to it a few times, love the melody and sound you start out with, but the brassy sound that gets introduced around 0:56 kind of hits me like a wet towel after dreaming off during the intro. A different sort of (more ethereal/chime like) sound would sound better IMHO.strangers wrote: ↑17 Apr 2018I was in one of those annoying ruts where I wasn't writing anything I liked until, out of the blue, I came up with an odd little melody that sparked this song.
