A song about playing with magical powers. Made in FL Studio. Again.

I hesitated to raise the highs before, but after fiddling around I've made something that sounds like an improvement. I think it deserved a second release.

It's a really nice song! Catchy melody! Ambiance is lovely, beat is lovely, and that cosmic gate voice :3

but it's too kidding :)

Sleepycoaster responds:

Thank you for the praise. I assume you mean "too childish"?

Im liking the atmosphere in this song, stays mellow and cheery with some cool changes. I like when you bring in a double kick really did some thing for the track. The flutes sound really good but the trumpet? Sounds off and awkward but still goes with it lol donno how to explain that one. Gotta say the song structure is very well put together but at like 2:40 something it has a sour sounding note. Kick sounds a bit hard for such a mellow light song but still gives it a varied feel instead of just light and cheery the whole time you got this kick standing out like "yo hear me?" Lol anyway great song. Keep up the good work.

Sleepycoaster responds:

Thank you for the detailed thoughts! I'm glad you commented on the kick and trumpet.

So, the mood of this "magic techno" is nice.
I think the drums (especially kick) are way too loud and sharp for this magic orchestra.
Some moments reminds Duck Tales or something like that.
It would be great to add some key changes, due to 5 minute song is too long for such a harmonic progression (excerpt small moments like 2:35)

Sleepycoaster responds:

I hear what you mean with the chord structure. I've wondered how I could make the drums fit in with the fantasy atmosphere, but without a sacrifice to upbeatness.
Thanks for the review! It helps.

Oh look it's the 4 chord structure!! "Journey" much?
"Don't Stop Believing" ...etc

Haha

Just messing with you. Nice use of Arpeggio and FX at 1:11!

The song is very upbeat and floaty! I found that little 'minor' tidbit you did at 2:36 was really cool! Do more of those!

A slight arpeggio going on 3 minutes in, moving towards a change of flow, but nonetheless keeping the same upbeat 4 chord structure throughout the piece. Really well done!

If anything, more variety in key would be nice, which is probably why I really liked that spot at 2:36. It tarried a bit away from the 4 chord structure.

Sleepycoaster responds:

Thanks! I'll study up on more chord substitutions.
