I think that the synth sounds are a too dominant, I would add a delay fx which is synchronized to the tempo (but I must say that I’m a delay fetishist ;-))
The beats should be stronger, EQs and a compressor help to make them louder
And I’m missing the bassline, also a second synth hook overlayed to the pads would be nice
I’m using Cubase LE as sequencer,a CS-80V, some freeware synths and ReBirth.
Sometimes it sounds like you have recorded the chords live
I’ve recorded everything live except the beat.
I was playing a bit around and then I found 3 chords which fitted and I thought myself “hey, let’s give it a try”. After that I’ve Improvised a bit and recorded everything live via MIDI.
nice little ditty, im with thornsten on the tenicalities …compression, mixdown arrangements & maybe bassline would all contribute.
Mind doesnt mean you have to take a totally conventional composing approach to ‘improve’ on what you have Use those concepts as starting point guides, to compare to, and work from
..sling it all togeather anyway you like ..experiment, lots …just follow what you feel works & see where that takes you
