Nice

So this was really nice I like how you had a few other sounds from other instraments in there and made it more of a mixture I feel you could have branded out the sounds more more spread out creating much more of a mixture to the sound you have going on this was really nice work though and a very good quality about it I love how you even ended on this this was a nice track though

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
I think as mentioned more spread out of the different sounds

Quirky synth at the beginning. I like the cute mood and climax :23. The reverb is seriously excessive on this song. It both compromises the mix and makes some of the instruments sound unpleasantly indistinct. A lot of these synths sound pretty unpolished and generic, too. I will say that the mix, while not particularly clear, is both loud and full-sounding. Also, the drums remain up-front in the mix for the whole piece, which is good. Compositionally, the piece is also pretty sufficient. I like the structure and the melodies, and the piece comes together well by the end. I have no issues with the transitions, harmonies, or textural fill either. Overall, the mixing and the instrumentation are my biggest concerns here. Elements of the texture may also be a tad generic, but some instrumentation fixes would go a long way towards solving those issues as well. Other than that, keep at it, StaticLF!

Opening synth sounds like it has a lot of overtone hanging over in that reverb, kinda tin-canny. Needs a shorter release and a little more cut on it.

0:25, that 808 hit is soooo sweet, but it's run over by your leads, the low pads, and hihats, the latter of which I would recommend maybe panning. A fun thing to do with those is to have two different hats and pan them 40% L/R respectively.

Structure of this song is pretty solid without being overtly predictable.

I would stray away from such thick, parallel motion low-mid chords. Lower interval limits make for a useful study.

Definitely pull those pads, leads, and possibly clacks down a bit. Your 808, kick, and snare need to be the loudest elements of your track, and they need a relatively clean sound space to play in. Most of the space in a track comes from roomy percussion, not your leads -- I can hear the reverb tails on your leads clear over the bass, which is not a good thing. Turn down that reverb wet and cut it some more!

Other than that, decent track. I would definitely recommend a study of chord progressions, lead writing, and harmony. You've got structure down. Mixing would be my next concern, but you're getting there, and other than the relative clutter, nothing sounds horrible, peaky, or otherwise nasty. If your instruments were arranged a little more cleanly note-wise, a lot of that muddiness would clear up.

Overall, enjoyed the piece. Thanks for coming out to NGUAC!
