idea for the next album/EP/whathaveyou

It's not bad, I definitely like the beat and choice of drums. I'd probably work on volume leveling a bit in the song, I feel like since the kick has a sharp attack, I would turn that down a 1 to 2 db so it doesn't overpower (maybe boost some lows to compensate). The lead in the middle of the song with the slow attack on the filter, I'd maybe bring that down a little as well, and consider adding a small touch of room reverb, just to let it blend more.

I really like the chord progressions and especially that bass that comes in every now and then (2:16, 2:22). I think I'd like it more if that bass were turned up some though.

I enjoy how all those subtle pads and melodic variations add a real hypnotic and relaxing vibe to it.

i'm just amused by the suggestions you made because i don't think they're relevant in the context of ragnar's music.

i don't believe ragnar's interested in perfecting his audio mixing. 

also, and i'm not adressing you in particular, i think there's way too much focus on audio mixing and sound design on this messageboard, for so little on composition, which is a far more decisive aspect of music making.

After re-reading his post I get what you mean. And that's a good point on composition, I wasn't even considering that personally.
