Sweet Suds, Dude!

Nice song dude! Pretty good groove, nice melody, great texture. I do have some suggestions though.

First, you have some nice builds at the very beginning, but the order is a little off. You start with the lead as an unprocessed instrument while you automate the bass, then you suddenly switch and automate the lead. This doesn't quite work, because you seem to backtrack. The "final" lead tone that you hit at about :41 is too close to the one at about :25, and that makes it kinda anticlimactic.

You did a lot of nice automation and editing to keep the listener interested, but you only altered the drum once or twice, and only for a short while. That repetitive beat starts to stick out after a while. It is not so much that the beat is bad, but when you have transitions, and you build into new sections, everything is different except for the beat and that is noticeable.

I really liked the harmony throughout the piece! The melody was nice too, but a good thing to watch is that borrowed chords are great, but if you keep switching modes like you did when the main melody came in your song is going to be less catchy. Cool, but harder to get stuck in someone's head.

Also, you clipped a couple of times close to the end.

All in all, a nice song, fun to listen to, good transitions, I would totally dig it in the club. This is just what stuck out to me whilst listening. Good work! I don't review songs that I don't like.

4/5 9/10

haha i totally agree.

Awesome

Great Job! It's a very cool mix. I love the build up at 38-40.

Pretty nice

Overall the song flows pretty smoothly which is a good thing. The filter effects used were a really nice touch which helps the song transition. Though the only thing I would say to change is some of the chords that play in the beginning. Because like said before, it just sounds kinda weird. Though its nothing too serious. Overall this is a pretty solid track bro, keep it up!
5/5

pretty good

every time I hear someone elses music, it always sounds better than my own. I think this pretty good stuff here. A bit repetitive, but good.

Good!

I thought it was a bit slow at first and wasnt sure I was going to like it. You proved me wrong as it picked up. Nice one!
