this was i really nice uplifting song, the only i would suggest is to soften up that bass you had going at the start, the saw sounded a bit too intrusive. one more thing i noticed that u put Kawaii in the tags... do you watch anime!!

DuttonsaysHi responds:
Thanks!
Yeah I see where you're coming from but I was going for something progressive so the bass is only really dominant in that first part. Notice it's starts to get neutralized more once the orchestral elements are introduced. Having it strong in the first section gave it a little time to shine.
But I see you're point about the unbalance in the light and heavy instruments in the first section. Thanks again!
and yeah sometimes! :D
Whatever you're doing here,
Do it again.
Do it a lot.
And then let me buy all your merchandise.
Happy songs rarely affect me, but the melodies and timbers in this track are irresistible.
DuttonsaysHi responds:
Hahah wow man this comment made me smile :). It's so great that my music can break through that barrier you have for happy music :D Thanks a bunch!
Frankly, the melody is enchanting.
If you made it more captivating (perhaps orchestral), it would be nice.
This shit be kawaii as hell, yo.
It feels a little empty to me though, there's some lack of background synth. Sounds like there's mostly a lead going on.
DuttonsaysHi responds:
Thanks you! and I agree ^^ seems to be the main issue here.
Cool track! Very happy/joyful.
About the mix, it's actually pretty bottom and top heavy at the same time, the high mids are almost non-present. The chime is hurting my ears in the highs and the bass is over powering in the lows (though the compression was done well to make the kick drum stand out).
DuttonsaysHi responds:
Thanks!
Yeah the mix isn't the best with this one and it wouldn't be the first time that somebody mentioned piercing high ends with some of my stuff :P. Thing is I have a problem with my left ear not being as good as my right, so it isn't as piercing to me, but it shouldn't be as apparent once I get it fixed.
But yeah the mix seems to be the main issue here. I guess with a lack of mid-range instruments the leads and bass are competing for dominance. I'll try and avoid that next time :P thanks!
