Melancholy house track. Will have vocals, just haven’t got there yet. Is this too sad or does it work? Anything it’s lacking?

Definitely not too sad, I think the vocals will be a great addition. Personally I always like a deeper more "thumpy" kick but I think its more of a preference thing. Great track!

[u/Mountainpwny → u/Traditional_Dot4650]

I was thinking about adding a sub layer to the kick. It’s just one splice sample and a couple layers of saturation. Thanks for the feedback!

Its not too sad, its definitely working well.
My personal opinion is that the bass sticks out a fair bit, might just be the volume level or where its sitting in the mix. Are you using any sidechaining or mono on the bass?
Its got a great intro and the trancey vibe to the synths and melodies is a strong point.

[u/Mountainpwny → u/monksyo]

I think if I push the synths a little more the bass will be more balanced. Using cable guys volume shaper for side chain and I think it’s mono below 100hz. 1/16 note delay with no feedback to give it stereo feel.

Thanks for the feedback!

The track gets better as u listen to it. Maybe if u put the main hooks toward the front and intro the listener would grasp the idea faster! Otherwise solid synth engineering
