I like the minimalist beat towards the beginning and the ominous tone of the piece. A lot of the synths and drum samples were a bit cheesy, though, and the piece gets pretty repetitive after a while. I liked the overarching structure. The piece comes together at 1:46 quite well shortly after the breakdown at 1:26, which I think is a really effective way of channeling the energy. I think my main complaint with the piece is the mixing, though. The sound visualization makes it clear that the piece is very loud, to the point that the output sounds pretty distorted. I'd suggest dialing back the volume knobs on several of your instruments, and also learning to balance your frequencies a bit better. Equalization is a great tool for doing that. I don't know what digital audio workstation (FL Studio, Ableton, Logic, etc.) you use, but I'd suggest you Google how to equalize instruments in your program. The basic idea is to eliminate the muddy lower frequencies in pretty much every instrument except for the bass and kick. That'll make the sound quality of the final product sound a lot cleaner. Otherwise, you're going to have multiple instruments competing for the same space in the pitch spectrum, which generates audible distortions. For example, by the time the pace of the drum pattern picks up in your piece at around 2:10, you can barely hear the pads underneath. Contrast that to how well they come through the mix at 1:27, and the difference is huge. Hope you found that helpful! And if you happen to use FL Studio like me, I can probably give you some more pointers on equalizing and other mixing tricks too. Feel free to PM me. Good luck with your future projects, man! I hope you'll keep working on this one, though. It's a catchy tune with some cool drums. You just need to get a stronger feel for working with the software. :)
