Stich- Glad you like it, it isn't in mono but the panning is very light which could do with changing. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm thinking of maybe splitting the lead track between 2 synths with alternate pannings to give it a bit more character.
k2shei- Yea, I agree. I'm going to try reworking the song structure and parts to feel a little more
intense so it feels less like A, B, C, D, A, B, B. Thanks for the feedback.
Swayin- Yea I can appreciate that, I think it has a lot to do with the chord progressions and tempo but I don't want to alter the 'core' of the track too much. The bass will be resolved!
Prabhu- Thanks man, you're right. I'm going to try giving the lead some more diversity and 'umpff' by experiment and dialing in some other leads and sounds.
Solid feedback everyone, I really appreciate it! So, what I have gathered so far:
Lead synth needs more variation, same droney sound over and over = tired ears
Bass needs to be altered almost entirely. It barely serves a purpose at the moment. Repetitive bass and sound = tired ears
Song structure needs more variation. Repetitive song structure = tired ears
Change the panning a bit more drastically to give a more defined and full sound; there is panning at the moment but it's probably a maximum of 15 L+R.
It needs some work so I probably wont have an update for a bit as I am busy all day today, I'll hopefully have some time to start working on some ideas this evening.
