Hello.

I'm a bit of a newbie to song-writing. This is the 3rd song I've thrown out on soundcloud, and about my 10th overall. Everytime I make something, there's always some major thing I'm learning for the first time, so whatever advice you can give me would be helpful:

Thx!

Sounds digitally nice.
Lovely melodies and composition.
I noticed that the part from 28 secs to 1:12 secs, more sounds like the start up for the track.
I like the rising part from 2:45 to 3:25 secs. I wish it lasted a bit longer though.
All in all, this is a nice breakout track from you.
A very enthusiastically, fun, yet relaxing sounding track to listen too.
Good job dude.

Some advices:
Stay in a minor key when you make an edm track (some are in major keys too, but I personally think minor keys in edm are the best)
Watch out for clipping in the track, I noticed in some parts of your tracks clipping.
Try to make sure, that there is no distortion in your tracks, and mix all instruments.

Good job on this song!

Hey thanks! I'm a bit of a fish out of water when it comes to beats and effects and cool stuff, so I'm glad to hear that I somehow managed to make something cool. Cheers!

Hey thanks! I'm working on the whole smoothness thing, as I increasingly tend to be less the perfectionist and more the completionist, but I appreciate the advice. Cheers 2u!
