Hi,
Really enjoing the vibe of the track, the chords and the drums,
What comes to my mind as improvement is maybe to work out a bit the hihats and the high-freq. synths which stay in the same frequency range - but maybe it is just my ears
cheers, J.

Personally i'd re-evaluate that bass line at the start, some of the passing notes are clashing, it's also fairly quiet, possibly being masked by the synth above it?

Soundcloud might of messed with it a bit, kinda did on this whole track now that I listen to it again. I'll check the wav file. Where would you cut the HH to make em sit better? Is the timing ok? I was sick of messing with a grid so played em by hand the whole way through..

Yes, soundcloud converts everything to mp3 if I am not wrong,
I personally like the new version better,
It is more mellow, and actually the hihats are well distinguished, what probably kept my attention is the part after 2:40, where you have more synth playing together, Generally loving the track,
I hope this helps a bit...
greets, j.

Headz51230,
Thanks for the comments! According to maps.google, you are probably from Wisconsin or Washington. I was curious which one. OK, now your song: parts of this remind me of New Order (a compliment). If I had a gripe, I think it gets a bit muddy with so many things happening at once, at times. I think more simple could be mo better in this song (with the possible exception of adding good vocals). I still like it for the most part. I like the human chorus. Keep at it!
