Nice vibes on this, like the loose feel. Drums could do with being a bit louder, and the closed hat sample maybe toned down a bit so it's less apparent

[FESKO]

yeah i think this is sick, agree with wub, but it's good still...

This is a neat track. Here're a few ideas that might be worth exploring. First, the drum rhythms are cool, but there's got to be some way to make the sounds more coherent with each other (that is, the timbres of the sounds are too independent of each other). Perhaps if you feed all the drums through a single compressor and turn the ratio way up, put reverb with a short decay on just the kick or maybe also the snare (probably a reverb with much of the high range pulled out), and eq the high and low range for the whole thing (and maybe a little selective mid range boost for the clap and snare sounds). Make sure the reverb and eq are pre-compressor so that everything gets kind of glued together. Adjust the reverb size, density, and frequency range if you get too much reverb hiss. The compressor will make the drums more coherent, and with the reverb, it will kind of smear the kick and snare a little bit (which will come off as a kind of low rumble if you do the reverb right). If that doesn't quite sound right, maybe apply one reverb unit to all drums, but just use a tiny bit of reverb and feed that through the compressor. Also, it sounds like you have everything running through the same reverb. I would recommend removing the reverb from the bass arpeggio and maybe just have reverb fade in every so often when the bass arpeggio gets loud, but it should be a different reverb than the background ambiance is using, one that's kind of misty and just touches the end of the loud part, so that the reverb kind of sprinkles down on the rest of the track (I think if it has a lot of high frequency and less low frequency, you should get that effect). You might be able to get this effect by creating two channels with the bass arpeggio, and program the second one with just the few loud notes and the first one with everything else. Then apply the reverb to the track with just the loud notes.

I like the feel to this. Nice and mellow. Some ambient work. Id say make the drums crash abit more, and maybe space them out a little farther. also some of the percs are too loud compared with the other elements.

I really like how this went, though.

thanks guys for the feedback
and Phill thanks for the ideas. ill give em a shot
def gonna work on the percs some more.
cheers!
