Like the more quiet parts. like around 3:15. synths are nice and warm.

the ending is just a bit too noisy for my taste though.

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated, did you mean loud as in too big a change in volume or loud as in all the distortion and aggressive sounds?

my feedback would be to remove all the mainstreamy dubsteppy in-your-face bass crap

congrats on finishing your track

The beepy synth near the end is too loud, compared to everything else. At least on headphones.

Heh, yeah it is a little to far toward dubstep for my liking, I don't know why that happened it just did, which I suppose is why the bleep was so loud!

I find the two different sections, the soft and the hard don't gel very well. To me they are like two different tracks...

seconded, but it still has to be loud imo so don't push the fader too low. :) the drums on another hand might enjoy a boost (esp the bassdrum, snare & hihat - not the claps & rimshot).

seconded. honestly i would replace the soft sections. before the wild synth enters @ 0:48 it was just boring to me, i almost closed the window before that mark. overused chilled cliché jazzy chords. there is a huge difference of quality between the soft & the hard parts imo. the soft ones don't seem to really go anywhere, the hard parts are intense (which matters more than how dupsteppish they sound btw).

last, some notes from the arpeggiated bleeps didn't sound that right (esp around 2:50). the arp should always play the firsts, thirds, fifths and sevenths of the chord played by the other synth on the strong times but it's a hassle to get that from an arpeggiator.

don't forget to repost it after correcting the mix ;)
