Probably the most ambient track I've ever made. Let me know what you think.

Very relaxing to listen to, and nothing obtrusive which makes this ambient piece perfect for leaving this one on on loop. Can't tell if it is meant to be ominous or hopeful, and that is what I think makes this interesting to listen to such as the moment at 2:40. More enjoyable upon the second listen. Thank you.

Very nice, very Aphex Twin in a good way. Well done capturing a cool atmosphere, really relaxing and cool. Keep up the good work!

Listened to it nice and loudly on my ADAM A5X's and it sounds pretty damn glorious.

While the strings themselves sound pretty simplistic and don't seem to offer too much other than an underlay for the rest of the composition, the Evolving crystalline-like pads which kick in half way through counter-balance it perfectly. The drip-like hits which repeat monotonously throughout the track are just the right volume and sound, neither being overbearing or underwhelming.

The Mixing for it is pretty much spot on. What reverb plates are you using for this? IT just sounds so smooth! The bass rolls really well and there's just enough crisp high end present in the crystalline pads to make it sound awesome. Saying that I have noticed several small segments of the track where the bass-y string beneath can get overbearing at select parts when it's the only thing present.

I really don't have too many extra gripes with it. Maybe if you do a second revision you could always consider adding an additional subtle texture underneath the track to detail it some more?

But yaaaaaaaaaa, excellent job all around!

Thank you for this awesome review! I actually used Fruity Reeverb 2 for all the reverb here. Though, I did mix the reverb a lot differently than I normally do. I tried to give the strings a really subtle and muted sound. I upped the sub bass on the main strings to give it that deep tone. Then on the crystaline pads I cut out the low end completely and added a really extreme reverb in comparison. The extra strings that come in at the end were probably the toughest part to mix. I ended up giving them some really strange reverb where the dry levels came down a lot. But I upped the volume of the instrument itself. I really wanted them to sit in the background perfectly, haha.

Thanks again for the awesome feedback!

some reason i felt like i was in an underwater cave haha.. as for reference the mix sounds good on my headsets.

Got nothing much to say about the structure of the piece since I myself still inexperience at ambient tracks.

all and all I enjoyed it. :P

Chemiqals responds:

Not too far off from the visuals I imagined while making it (deep underwater)! I'm glad that the mix appears to sound good and that you enjoyed it! Thanks for the feedback! =)

This sounds so good on my new headset :3

Chemiqals responds:

Awesome! I'm so glad to hear that because I spent a lot of time mixing all these sounds together, as simple as they may be! =P
