Hey guys, I'm back. It's been a month or so. Anyways, this is a mega long track that I have been saving for a bit, and much unlike a lot of my older songs, this time it feels warrented. For Newgrounds Audio Deathmatch 2019.
Program: FL Mobile
BPM: 140
Time Signature: 4/4

I like the emotional appeal of the strings at the beginning. The string samples seem to be of pretty good quality, too. The drums at :26 are a little too loud, and have a ton of reverb to boot. The production quality seems good, although the pace of progression is a little slow here at times. The first major point of climax comes at almost 2 minutes in, which is a long time to wait. The drop at 1:49 has a catchy rhythmic component, but I think the descending bass line is a bit too loud, and completely hijacks the mix from the drums, which should be louder there. The re-intro at 2:50 is nice, and I’m enjoying the piano melodies at 2:58. I would’ve liked to see you vary the drop the second time around at 3:51, and also change up the harmonic progression at some point during the piece. I also think you begin to overuse the riser at 4:57 after a while. Overall, I think the biggest weaknesses of the piece are the lack of variety and generic sound design and harmonic content. Still, the piece has a smooth flow, cool drums, and a nice airy atmosphere. Keep at it, coolssh3! :)

Thanks for the feedback, I'll be sure to keep this in mind for the future. (The previous message was deleted because I thought this comment was for a different song soooooo woops.)
