This is my first and only track of electronic music I've ever created. It was several jears ago; maybe a decade. I created it in Jeskola Buzz. If you use it for anything please let me know.

You really need to put more work into this song.

  1. Skip the synthetic sounds.
    This is nice, but it can be made much better. If you skip the unfiltered
    synth sounds, and go for soundfonts with better sounds from the start,
    the song will drastically improve in quality. Or if you have the means to
    spend some hard earned cash on say Native Instrument's Komplete bundle,
    then you got over 20 top notch sounding instruments.
  2. Keep it simple.
    This track is way too convoluted and complex for it's own good. It's like
    you think that just because you got space to put your notes in the piano
    roll, it needs to be filled to the brim. Less is often better than more. Remove 80%, and
    you'll still have a decent song. Listen to minimal house, and you'll understand what I say.

  3. That kick just needs to be removed.
    The bassdrum you got going is way to intense. It dominates the sound-
    scape like a jackhammer dominates the road noise.
     
  4. Some mastering won't harm this song.
    The song is nice, but I hear a lot of sound conflicts between the channels you use. The 
    kick is the culprit in most cases. Hence you need to lower the main volume with -3 dB to
    fix this issue. Warbeats Level Manager is a free and good plugin that does this easily. 

As I said this song is far from good, but there is still hope for it. I hope you can get it better. Peace out! /Johan Brodd
