Hey, so what can I say about this track...it's a combination of hard (piano, bass) and bright, "happy" stuff Big Grin This track is unique with it's style, maybe a bit similar to rock and it's quite hard to comment it. I think the snare doesn't fit this track perfectly, I would use a deeper snare with a quiet little "clap" at the end, and also, punchier and louder kick. Hats are good. I like how you combinated strings with piano and synth in the middle. You could use some ambient background sounds, FX, some noise for transitions, because sometimes it sounds very simple. But the track is nice overall, it's some good job you've done here. Keep it up Smile

definitely not something i was really expecting. i can tell you were trying to make it sound drum n' bass, but just doesn't quite hit right with me. not really sure how to comment on this track, but it's cool you're trying something different.

Noisebound, thanks for your feedback. I was afraid of putting too much in already, but since you say more could be put in certain areas, more is going in lol

No idea how goth rock came around major chords...

I probably should have mentioned that i was going for a world kind of fusion with the sitar playing along with a simple lead synth. there's a million different styles on this site and switching back and forth plays it hard on the brain cause it's used to one style and to suddenly go from night and day is rough. s'all good though, i ain't really worried about it lol

production seems all good. tune reminds me of an early 90s video game (which is cool). Definitely doesnt have a drum and bass feel to it though.

Any track with piano in it is usually pretty win in my book. This track does need a lot of work tho. I like where it could go but as of now it reminds me of something cheesy from the n64 days. Fatten that bassline, amp up the drums, make those melodies sound more adult, and keep the piano, but use a diff synth. What software are you using? A full rework would be amazing to see. You have an ear for melody. I still look forward to seeing you post more tracks soon.

i think this is a very different track! but i like it a lot. its very different from anything i have ever heard. it's very catchy and easy to listen to. i like all the effects and the beats very very good too. i dont think i have ever heard a beat of this style before.The main effect sounds very bubble and then all the other effects are used very well with the beat.by far though its a very good beat keep up the good work and keep making these beats. i like them very much. good work. awesome beats. great style

alright i've been debating on changing the melody sitar to the sound of my trumpet. like, play my trumpet for once again. keep the piano, maybe loose the synth, change the sound to something a little deeper in tambre. Maybe then it'd have a combo-like sound to it, a little more laid back. less video game-ish because I have a tendency for that in a lot of my tunes lol

Trumpet? yes? fatter bass, of course? And maybe no half time rythmns?

I like the chord progression on the intro and how it all started out but the sound reminds me of a video game or rather an MMORPG like Ragnarok. ITS NOT A BAD THING! I found it very easy to listen to and it brought me back to some old days when i used to play MMO's

Your title kinda explains my little flash back as it states "A Little Goes A Long Way" and it was true! It brought me back 8-9 years! Smile

Keep up the work!
