I like it, it's really good. It could use more of a build though right before the drop at 4:30. What do you use to produce?

Oh nice, I use FL studio too. My stuff is nowhere near on this level though haha. What sample packs do you use for your drums?

Wow, you're getting alot better. Here are my comments.

1. The piano chords brought in at 1:10 are too harsh and too loud, over the course of the song they are also too unchanging. They need to be brought in at a slightly lower volume and need some knob twisting of probably the attack and hipass to help maintain interest. I would also love it if you added in a 4 part variation later in the song in addition to the 2 part piano bit you have now. The paino chords in are in the forefront of the track so you need to do a bit more with them than just slam them down for 16 bars. This should be easy to fix just add 1-2automations and a slightly more complex variation.

2. Gosh that's really it, really needs a few slight variations on the piAno part and some cutoff/attack work when you play it in calmer parts of the song...needs more inflection in the quieter parts.

good stuff man. drops are heavier than in the previous track. However i think you are walking a bit in the same trap as matisse & Sadko i.e just copying tim bergs bromance pretty much down to detail. The possibilities are endless so why copy a sound when you can make your own

as i said to window, you have done your homework and can produce a quality sound. Now you got to actually write the track aswell. From a commercial POV this track is banging, but from an artistical POV youre not breaking new ground. Gotta choose what direction you want to go yourself!

Hehe you're completely right, I tend to mimic other tracks for the most part right now. But on the plus side I usually pick up a couple of tricks etc in the process that I might be able to apply when/if I find my own sound at some point.
