Intro was a little rough! And your wobble and some of your synths are distorting a little bit, I suggest eqing them again!
I thought it was strange how it started as dubstep, transitioned into cinematic techno and then into trance in which you changed your drums completely.
I love the melody and overall vibe you should just be more consistent with the song and if you do have so many variations make smoother transitions (:

Thanks for the feedback! Also I agree that I need to do some reworking of the EQ. I just started using the Multiband Compressor more and still need to improve my post-production and EQ work.

WHOO!

I'm feeling that feel. Loving the vibe you put out with those instruments! Great flow, easy listen. You seem like you know your music program well, and know how to mesh different sounds together well :) The only thing that I noticed was that the heavier instruments like the bass and drums sometimes seemed to slightly overwhelm the mix - not a huge deal, but sometimes it felt like the track was pushing a ceiling. Overall though, balanced and smooth! Great job man :D

Thanks a bunch man! Yeah I did notice that a little bit post-production and I am trying to figure out what I need to do to fix that. I do know my way around my DAW well but I still am pretty amateur with EQ work and stuff with multiband compressors and the like. Thanks for listening! Also I really look forward to future music you put out as well.("Sequence" is becoming one of my favorite songs XD).

I may not know much about how these kinds of things are made, but I do know it can be time consuming and frustrating at points.

What I do know for sure? This is one awesome track! I have a soft spot for music boxes and this stats off beautifully with one. The integration of the music box and the piano at the end was superb and while I normally can't see techno and music box mixing, the two fit well together, creating an enthralling trance-techno experience. Definitely a keeper.

My only criticism? The name isn't doing it for me. :)

Thanks a bunch for the review! :)
