Nice, sounds pretty high quality!

I like the buildup of the track, everything sounds well balanced as well, the melody does get a little repetitive when you listen to it without vocals like this, but I think lyrics could easily make up for that and turn it into a quality track.

Im new at this, when the master volume goes into the red, is that when it's peaking?

Nice track man. Reminds me of pretty lights. The drums aren't really my style, but it's really clear and good quality

Nice guitar melody, though I think it would sound much better with a little bit of panning/stereo: this is "stereoed" in the center, and it sound a lil bit weird! A lil bit more variations would be also great, but again the melody is great, and all elements go perfectly together!

Great work!

very chilled. i especially like the subtle vocal sample that carries through most of the track. I do agree with vyvyan about the guitar. i feel it makes my ears work too hard at listening to the sounds instead of just relaxing and enjoying the calmness of the tune as a whole.

Great tune in all other respects though!

Nice.stuff...the keys remind me of this mortal coil at the beginning...nice vocal loop

I can hear what radiant is saying about it missing a main vocal for interest but in truth I can listen to this kinda stuff easily..

On a mix side of things I think the levels are good..theres no mud and it seems pretty clear my only worry is that is sounds a bit like its been pushed through an exciter/enhancer of some sort...its making the HFs a little less clear sounding..if thats the case Id rather use an EQ to add sparkle

other than that...great little tune

Sweet! I love the chords you used, and the mix is very clean. I think some sliced vocal sounds auto-tuned would go great with this. Like around 2:17 some auto-tuned "hmm hmm da da DA da da" would sound real nice, while still holding the overall feel of the song.

This is nice man. The snare sounds a little distant and the guitar lead gets a bit repetitive if I was to be super critical but all in all a nice tune. Great work
