I like the punchy synth organ and funky bass instruments. Good sense of build starting at :29. A lot of the sound design sounds rather gritty and unpolished, though, and the drums sound a bit harsh in my ears sometimes. I think you need to do more to rein in these volume levels a bit. The snare is a bit over-compressed, and the reverb on the heavily filtered industrial effect at :05 is pretty excessive. I like the melodies at :44, but the underbelly of the grating effects detracts from the blissful texture and overwhelms an already strained mix imo. The snares went from being too loud at the beginning to barely having enough punch to pop through the mix at :44. Some more careful work with the equalizers, panning, stereo widening, compressors, and the like is necessary, I think. That said, I liked the more atmospheric section at 1:15 and the cute, dreamy synth at 1:21. The transition at 1:28 was a little sudden, and the introduction of a new instrument there for the purpose of further the progression back into the refrain at 1:58 seemed a bit unnecessary. Overall, I think you need to consolidate some of your compositional ideas and clean up the mixing a bit. The high-pitched chordal outline instrument at 2:20 sounds pretty harsh in the mix, and in general the sound design here is a little too chaotic to keep the listener grounded in some core motifs and such. During the busier sections of the piece, it can sound really muddy. Be careful about how many instruments you leave in there at a time that have frequencies below 200 Hertz (it should ideally be one, maybe two if one of them is a kick drum). Be sure to use the analyzer feature on your DAW’s equalizer tool to help figure this out. Otherwise, the melodic content and mood are fun, and with a little more polish, this piece could work very well as a quirky, blissful EDM track. It almost reminds me of “Chaotic” by Waterflame, actually, for its mood and collage of instruments. For now, though, I’d recommend investing some research in tutorials on filtering, equalization, and such. Good luck with your future tracks, QruintroX! :)
