Final Draft
Let us hear you!
Nice chilled vibe but with many different elements coming together. Like it, especially like the last section after 2:40, keep up the good work. 'Liked' too

DimensionX - Alpha - New track!
Let us hear you!
Thanks all for the feedback, as always, appreciated. Been on holiday so this is my first opportunity to respond.
@smillington - the kick was constructed using two kick samples layered, one with more high end content and then EQ'd to take out any lower or mid frequencies and one providing the lower end and visa versa on the EQ. The pop though is probably more down to the compression applied. I have a preset compressor that I have over the whole drum rack and tweak it to help make the drums pop out like that.
I agree with you and @robjones on the dissonance. This started to appear when I introduced the arp synth more than anything and as you say Rob is probably the more noticeable and irritating issues that needs fixing. Your guidance on this is much appreciated as I found my self not knowing how to fix it! Music theory is something I am still working on and probably where more work is needed for me. I find arrangement and mixing quite natural, but as my tracks become more complex and I start to create my own parts more, this is certainly something I will work on! I will see what I can do to correct this and hopefully not lose what I was going for. I am more comfortable with the issue you noted at 3:00.
@samuelclouston - thank you for the feedback, glad you like the work!

I plan on doing my own remix of this, perhaps a more techno based version, this will naturally be Beta!
New Garage track - Shattered
Let us hear you!
Been a while since I've listened to any Garage, this has a nice vibe and is well mixed, nice work! Enough variety in there not to get too repetitive too, really liked that gentle build have way through, nice one, thanks for sharing.

Thanks Tamlin, glad you enjoyed them and thanks for noticing the progress. I'm going to keep at it even though it takes a while to get them over the line! Going to give your Garage number a spin now, will drop some feedback on the post

Hands in the air 
Production is pretty tight. The synths are huge! Maybe almost too huge compared to the beats though, although that's a personal preference probably.
The arrangement is very well done. Some of the harmonies are a little dissonant - mainly the lead in the breakdown (coming in at 1.54 and 4.19) playing the chromatic intervals (around the 7th and 2nd degrees of the scale) - if it's intentional then no worries, but it sounds a bit too tense to me, certainly for the style - consider a different note or not holding the suspension for quite as long, so resolving a bit quicker.
You should certainly be proud of the production overall though - it's very well put together

Thanks Rob, appreciate the detailed feedback, I'll certainly have a play around the areas you've mentioned. I'm definitely a 'huge synth' kind of person 
, that tends to end up with them being the biggest element but definitely good to have fresh ears on the mix!

Hi all
Hope everyone is good.
Just sharing my latest track. Quite pleased with how it turned out but always have that self-doubt as a producer just starting out! Pleased I am learning new skills whilst finishing tracks though!
let me know what you think.
Thanks all!
