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!

Hands in the air happy-5

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 happy-9

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 laughing, that tends to end up with them being the biggest element but definitely good to have fresh ears on the mix!

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 :)
