    Floaty. Spacey. But then like… flying through the stars. I like the shifting moods of this one. Cool synth patch as well. Good structure and flow for sure.
    Production notes: That god forsaken clicky kicky is murdering this otherwise great track. Everything else is well balanced and fits into the mix nicely. That piano solo near the end might be a big clacky sounding for my taste but I think it’s a good way to pop throught the mix.

    The synth is a bit overwhelming in a good way at the start and there’s a percussive “pop” that’s distracting, but otherwise this feels oddly nostalgic even though I don’t know the source material. Solid arrangement!

    Excellent production, love the synth sound.
    Feel good vibing,
    This is not my style of music but i judge by the prod and quality

    Interesting synthy elements. There’s a particular synth patch in the background that sounds very clicky to the point it sounds like it’s clipping (even though it’s not), it’s probably something in your bass VST I think? I used to have this problem with bass VSTs in particular, shouldn’t be hard to fix with some subtle attack swells to eliminate clickiness. Arrangement is cool and dreamy though a lot less melodic than I’d like.

    As noted by some in the listening party, the percussion in this one doesn’t play nice with loudspeakers. But other than that, this entry was pretty enjoyable. Some nice and retro-sounding synths there, reminded Ms. Mega Mixtape of Depeche Mode‘s “Just Can’t Get Enough”.

    Feels like we have a battle between acoustic and synths going on to start this LP off. Piano could come up more in the mix, and I don’t know if it’s just fragments or the actual sound of the bass but the bass sounds relatively clicky. Drums are a little low as well, but generally balanced well into the mix. I do like the synth sounds though, gives a nice and airy feel to this. Piano is much clearer during the solo. This is overall a nice arrangement, but I felt fairly distracted by the clicking in the bass line

    Nostalgic pick for me as I love this source. I pointed it out in the LP but the clicking in the kick drum is just so distracting to me, I wish I could tune it out but I can’t. Please adjust the eq of the kick and resubmit to #post-your-tunes! There’s so much good here!

    The click on the kick drum here is distracting to the point where I have a hard time listening to it, which is a shame because there’s some great melodies and nostalgic vibes coming through on the keys and synths! The piano solo is lovely. Lots of saccharine, sunshine vibes coming through, and I love the piano tone, though you’re definitely getting some clashing in the low end between the keys, bass, and drums. Some EQ to clean up the low end would go a long way here, in addition to reworking your kick and drum mix from the ground up with a new kick sample and better balance between the kit elements.
