UPDATE (2): I just tweaked the EQ on the leads and piano in the rave part to make them much softer and to (hopefully) eliminate any high ends. ^~^

UPDATE: Okay. So I noticed the last little piano tidbit at the end was pretty random, so I went ahead and added it into the raving part before hand so that it actually fits and progresses with the song. I hope it sounds good! :D

This was my very first attempt at house music. I'm not too sure how I did honestly. I think it sounds nice.

And before you say it, and yes, YOU. I'm talking to you. I am quite aware that it is repetitive. I had a hard time trying to get a melody to support the lead, so I just gave up in the end. I just added a slight variation the second time it repeats.

All in all, I think it's a pretty solid track, but that's not for me to decide, is it? ;)

Tell me what you think guys! Reviews are most appreciated! :D

Nice little song, what software are you using?

Exilious responds:

I use FL Studio! And thanks! ^~^

I like the deep sounding pads, they sound nice and wide and warm. That sweep that comes in in the intro sounds much too loud and over powering to me though. I enjoyed the main melodies when they come in and the leads in the pumping chorus are nice. It does sound like there's too much high end in that section though, not sure if its white noise or cymbals but i think cutting some of those down would balance it out a bit. Good Job

Exilious responds:

Thank you very much! The high end you're hearing is actually coming from the closed hat and the pads. When I EQed the pads, I turned up the high a little bit, but also deepened it for some balance. I could go in fix it later.

But thank you very much for the feedback! I'm glad it was to your liking! :D
