Paulino, I have to agree with optik, your sound design is great, so is your mixing. But there are some melodic parts clashing with each other.

I think the mixing and sound design are pretty good. I listen to a lot of WIPs and yours is on the more pleasant and balanced end. However it is a safe song and it isn't incredibly original. I don't know how much of it is loops or whatever, but all I can say is not bad, but there is a lot of room for creating a more sophisticated song structurally and musically.

Here is a link to my entry to the Gareth Emery "Eye of the Storm" remix competition (I don't think I can embed it). I posted it less than 24 hours ago and yet have made it to the most listened page (when you can see 50) so I hope to stay on that page the rest of the competition and move up. I ultimately stayed close to my original structure when I posted it as a WIP, because I structured it to flow with the vocals and my first instincts on how it should sound. I went for a soft dynamic mix. Overall I am happy with the end result because I feel it is an improvement on previous songs I have made, and that is what is most important to me at this point (though winning would be cool too!).

Thank you trancelover, there no loops on this project fyi. I'm still in the process changing the structure however i will always upload different sides of the project so stay tuned.

Yeah that shit is dope imo. You def got my vote.

Here's my fav WIP so far. I easily reverse engineered two basslines for this one from a classic thrillseekers tune from back in the day.
