Any feedback is appreciated even if its harsh.

liked the intro until the squeely synth reared its ugly head (ya did say dont mind harsh lol) but as soon as it goes again its a different beast altogether i actually really like the rest of the song... extremely enjoyable.

I think you should take that synth delete it but keep chords as i reckon they work and use a nice high end distorted bass not too mental though as your going for liquid here.

Ye i probarly should replace that synth with something else that's lighter, when you overwork something you sometimes miss out on the most obvious flaws.

Anyhow thanks for the feedback i will give the distorted bass a try.

Edit: Reuploaded with the synth replaced by some cellos

maybe the synths need more reverb? they just sound too fl studio-y and generic, not much movement and variation. maybe some lo passage going on with the synths to create more of a "liquid" feel. atmospheres as well. youre getting there tho

cheers

 

[duckstep]

Sorry for stupid question but what is "lo passage"? Soloing a instrument?

 

[W3st]

oh sorry bud thats just my lingo for low passing something, ie low pass filtering the synths a bit to remove some of that higher end
