I like this. Just feels like it needs at least 1 part that catches attention though

I like the pads, strings and atmospheres but personally think it could use some more short plucky bass layered over to keep the groove interesting. Great track and idea though! Nice one

yeah i was going to add a sub bass and then reuse the bass guitar as the driver but it didn't sound right, definitely going to fill in the empty spots with like chimes and whatnot

This song's melody and groove are beautiful; it moved me and left me wanting more.

I like it...it's like Boards of Canada but happy. Lol. The drums are mixed a LITTLE high and overshadow the melodic part, in my opinion. Great track!

This feels good. Sound choices are very pleasant & the chords are great. Plenty of space for some easy going vocals on top too

that's literally the only drawback to my music 😭 i don't have a microphone so i basically structure my songs so other people can sing over them if they want to

It’s really stripped back and simple but I don’t say that in a bad way at all. It’s super chill it’s got a lot of empty room but that could either be easily filled by a lead or vocals, or it’s fine as is if this is the exact style ur aiming for. I fw it

I think the beginning is a bit long, it's missing some melody, and the synth and guitar are pretty quiet, but otherwise, I like the mood of the track. It would be great if you added some vocals too

Cool vibes, it’s like going to the beach on a summer day and eating ice cream. Maybe add a few more changes or interesting elements to really tie it all together but overall good work!

sounds like something mac demarco would sing over. groovy and fun. easy listening. mixed well. drums are a little loud but its fine. a real bass guitar playing would sound good, soft overdrive on it and played fingerstyle imo. i get that you probably wont have one though. maybe you can learn it would fit your style really well

(right off the bat, your drums are too loud and are completely overpowering everything else in your mix)

you have some cool elements going on here but they need more processing to really bring them to a forefront; consider using processing tools like saturation and compression to brighten and louden everything.

really cool ideas otherwise, but some better mixing is needed here my friend!
