Noisy at times

I like how you structure your chords, starting simple and then adding instruments as you go. I do wonder what exactly the purpose of the long static thing at 2:20 is. I guess it works as a transition to a different style, but it's a bit weird.

I had to turn down my earphones at about 3:00, it's a rather pronounced change from the peaceful piano at the beginning. I intentionally render my music at a higher volume than I'm going to listen to it in to prevent clipping and other strange things. Just check your volume.

Overall, I liked it. I look forward to seeing the finished version.

Fuzzles

I think I really have to say I liked the piano at the start since it kind of helps you relax and feel like everything is going to be alright in the end. Then the synth begins to come in along with that soft and fuzzy bass line. Those two work together and make the song sound very nice.

Then the drums are pretty cool and I like how they carry a bit of a different rhythm for this House piece as well. Then you got a low high pitch sound slowly coming in and making the piece sound very nice and good feeling once again. Enjoyed hearing the addition of some 8-bit sounds as well.

The tune seems to feel pretty happy and then you got the high wind sound that came in and makes it all feel like the song ended and then the tune begins to slowly pick back up and slightly change in tone to being a little happier than before with a new drum track that is faster.

It also picks up a new and happier synth and bass combo. I think you managed to make a very nice sounding beat on this one. If this is a work in progress I wonder how nice the final piece will be?

Overall, nice WIP even though it sounds like a full song in my opinion. :P

A bit odd at times

Certainly not a bad track, but there isn't much going on in it. A relaxing track should still have something going on in it.

I'm not sure I like the sections where you raise the note half a step at a time, sounds quite off and weird.

Not sure what's up with the entire song seemily stopping at about 2.40, going up in volume and then changing drastically. I don't really like the synths you used here, it might be the volume, but they get very annoying, very soon.

You had a great thing going towards the beginning, with some beats that really helped relax, but to me, the second part seems very random and not very planned.

At about 4.45, it seems to me like the song really kicks in. I really liked that latter part, the raising of the tones by half a step at a time (or is it one and a half?) sounds great here. Honestly, the last part of this song is the best, much more harmonic, much wider, thicker, filled with music, backed up. It's really, really good. Holy crap. I'm actually really amazed at that. I didn't expect an ending like that after a song that was so lacking in some parts.

Keep working on this, it has serious potential.

hmmm

sounds like you got some eq issues there that or a bad recording device over all the song is nice you did a good job at adding the new instruments at the right time not a lot of people that are beginners do that so congrats

Were you listening with stereo headphones? Since it is optimised for stereo.. But other than that I am aware that it is slightly too loud in some parts. Thanks for the feedback though!
