First of all I have to say that my sound setup is not very pro (Low price hifispeakers which are not very well placed and no acoustical treatment for the room) so some of the things I'd like you to improve may be because of my setup.

Quite nice! I like the melody and sound of the main lead and the instruments play well together. *hymy* I would try to get more full bassdrum and maybe lower bassline or add an subbassline. In the break the bright xylophone-style instrument sounds bit "loose" on it's rhythm to me. 0:44 starting scratch-like instrument doesn't work too well for me, but it ain't no pain in the ass either. Well I'm no big fan of that kind of stuff anyways. The fx sound nice but not so powerful (The power would be probably a plus in this genre). But they work well for me though. The highs sound good for home studio production, the mids a bit scrambled and lows could be more solid imho.

The overall feeling I get from this track is very good *hihu* It's quite beautiful I would say. Keep up the good work! *iloinen*

I like your comment! Really appreciate you took a little time to analize it. *nauru*
This is only my 5th track ever after nearly one year of producing in reason 4. I made it in 3 days and there are some things even I wanted to change and I will so someone experienced like you must hear much more "mistakes".
My equipment is very basic. I still have an intergrered soundcard, some old monitors and M-Audio MIDI keyboard. I'll surely buy soundcard first when I get some money. *hihu*

I'll try to improve bassline and that sawtooth (scratch) sound which I had in mind before. That xylophone-style instrument was made on purpose. I just twisted the feedback delay on maximum so it kept repeating on 5/16 time. I didn't want to sound it too common like recurrently every bar or so. I personaly found it desturbing too but my friends said they like the sound. Still I'll see what I can do with that. Never get that highs, mids or lows part and people said that to me before. Can you explain it to me please? *pepsodent*

Highs = high sounds (hihats, leads and that kind of stuff)
Mids = well, everything that is in the mid range (like percs, effects, shit, etc.)
Lows = low sounds of course (kick & bass)

That's how I get it when someone says something about highs, mids or lows. :D But maybe someone who has more knowledge can explain it a bit better than me. :D

The track itself is hella good if you've produced music for only a year. Sounds like you've been listening Alek Száhalas tracks quite a lot. ;) But don't get me wrong, it's not a bad thing.
You definitely need to get some balls on the low sounds. Break windows you know? Now it sounds too thin. Make the kick and bass louder, but be careful that they don't eat out everything else.

As MrMaunus said, keep up the good work. :)
