Hay,
Just joined these forums today haha.
Used to always check them out when i needed a new album or some help with my producing haha.
Thought it would be a good idea to register to get to know the HHC community :3
I started work on this track a day or so ago, check it out and tell me what you think :)

Well welcome to the brotherhood, kind sir!
I'll tell you what I like and dont like of the song, but please take it in a best way possible!
I love the melody, it all goes well together in the song.
The layout/flow of the song is great... But it feels like each section is cut wayy to short(might be its not finished yet).
The sounds are great and tie together good, but need more "upmh" (it might be the unmasterd part).
Where is the low end noises?? Hardly any bass, and the drums need some tweaking (as far as I have heard).
00:24-00:50 there is a "twinkle" sound, I'm not sure if its meant to be there, but if you could either remove it, or make it louder it might sound better.
Needs to be way longer!
Reminder, take this all in the best way possible!
Would love to hear it finished, also, I loved the piano!

Cheers mate :D
Yeah man, i always need to know what needs working on ^^
Yeah man i've been using FL Studio since the start of last year.
So hard to figure out everything when you start haha.
After a while i learnt basic timing and stuff but other than that most of my shits self taught, a few youtube vids here and there but thats about it.
past few months i've actually been trying to work on a nice melody style and i finally found one i liked soo i've been trying to perfect it.
Yeah i can never sort the bass out for some reason, just a few tweaks with an EQ and stuff and ill get it.
I only recently learnt about layering kicks and stuff soo i've been practicing that too, trying to find a harder kick sound but its hard for me haha.
Yeah man not sure what that is actually, im gonna have to look through the FLP and find the problem.
I have a mate who hopefully is gonna help me learn how to master...
He produces himself, herd of Auscore?

I'd go for making it louder: on your way to the Elvenpath.

Biggest "flaw" I'd work on would be from :24 to 1:34. Sounds way too empty and a tad long. try and summarize the main idea a bit more.
welcome on board, btw. :)

Haha since the First responce from Atomsk i've changed a few things.
New Synth on the build, mastered the Kicks a little to make it sound more heavy/dark.
I went over my melody and tweaked a few things, fiddled around with the EQ.
Bass is soo much better, layered it with another synth.
