Reviews for "High Ground"

I like the way this song makes me feel
Love all the melodies you put in there
they layer well with each other

I would say the drums are a bit to loud.. but only slightly
Snare sound is amazing
sounds very organic

Good job all around

Great job! Pretty chill!

bro how is this so good

I like this one a lot

The snare sound have some more layers (like 2 more, one panned to left and the other one to right) to sound a bit better on headphones, the drums and the bass are really groovy and sound really cool. Thr melody beginning at 0:40 sounds cool, but could use some variations to make a 4 or 8 bar loop, would make it more interresting. Also you could add a vibrato or smth. to make it sound more interesting. The part at 2:00 is a bit empty, add percussions or some parts but not the whole drum loop. The part at 2:45 when you add cymbals somehow the initial groove from the beginning is lost, try to make it less on the grid or quieter and also the bass&kick are too low, which gave that funky feel. But ovarall great mix and really funky :D

Feynmar responds:

Thanks for the feedback! I think I agree with everything. The drums are indeed thin and could use layering. The carousel synth is a bit basic indeed. I agree the transition at 2:00 is very light. I tried a bit adding more stuff, but couldn't get it to sound right, so left it simple (probably too simple.) I've just updated the part with the cymbals, so the bassline follows the main groove, as it was easy to change.
