Sounds nice! I like your instrumentation, sequencing, and your arrangement seems very on point - your weak point seems to be your synthesis and processing. You had a nice baseline in there but it could barely be heard over the rest of the instruments, and the drums seemed to jump in and leave without really leaving an impact. For a dubstep tune, it didn’t really have any heavy presence or drop - I’m just assuming you were aiming for dubstep here. Regardless of the genre you were aiming for, you should go back and fix your mix down. There’s massive volume spikes for random drum hits that go along the waveform, and if you compare it to a wave form of another professionally mastered song you’ll notice instantly yours is a lot more compressed and quiet. Trying taking a couple instruments and widening the stereo sound. panning, compressing, and limiting your track. There are multiple ways to beef it up and get it louder but still have a soft ambient feel - otherwise people will have to turn your song up every time it comes on their iPod or phone or whatever. Lastly, i think you should work on automation throughout your song. You have just a couple synths really carrying the whole thing, so i think you should get more complex with how you alter them throughout the tune. I heard some basic filtering and reverb, but i think to make it really unique your going to have to get crazier than that. Try a phaser, ring modulator. Try bouncing out a clip then re-import it and reverse it. Just get crazy so that the song doesn’t feel like its repetitive in the least. Just my advice, Thanks!
I really like the chord progressions used here. My favorite was definitely when the quick arpeggios came in after the halfway point. The way they worked with the chord progression was very engaging for my ears.
Thank you guys for your time.
I appreciate it a lot.
Best,
