    So I made a new song, hopefully you guys like it! :)
    It´s not pony related, or it was at least not what I was thinking of when I made it, but you´re free to see it as you wish x3
    But I would love some feedback on it too, as I´m always trying to improve on my musical abilities :)

    Have a nice day!

    Nice work you have here. Now let me critique it.
    I really like the samples that you used to create this. The drums don't totally fit with the piece its self and the song is pretty repetitive. Also, some of the effects you have in there do not really fit well and don't sound in harmony. Though, I really liked the use of the guitar. Also the drums seem to be offbeat/offsync from the whole song which can kind of ruin the experience for the person who is listening to it. That is all.

    Really nice, could've just been a bit longer.
    Keep up the good work!

    Hi :)
    And yeah, I know the song is quite repetitive as it was also my intention to make it repetitive. And what do you mean by not fitting in? I can see the Harmony issue, and I worked quite a bit to try and get that into a better level as It was worse before, I thought I ha done it quite well but I will go over and check again :)
    And the drums, or I prefer to just call it percussion as that is what it is in the song. I get that they might don´t entirely fit in with the rhythm they provide. I can also try and work on that a bit more (I might end up revisiting this track later when I have gotten better)
    At the moment I am a bit limited when it comes to VST´s and things like that as I´m still getting used to Logic Pro X and I don´t have to much money. So I only have one VST at the moment (Omnisphere, which is really great) and if I could, I´d prefer to make my own rhythm with the percussion (So that it would be more "original") but as the VST I have dosen´t have any real tribal percussion and regular percussion I coulden´t unfortunately.
    Although, I must say thanks for the feedback. Always looking for ways to improve! :)
    And btw, it was not intended to be very lenghty as track ;)

    Thank you Kakkekakke! :)
    And yes, the track could have been a bit longer, but I was thinking about it in a scenario of like the music for the menu screen of a game for example, and they don´t always have to be that long :) But as I said to Hydro, I may revisit this one later on to rework it! :)

    Keep in mind that this was my opinion on the matter. Please don't take it personally, and yes I know Omnisphere is awesome. I used it in this track right here: https://soundcloud.com/britney-star/mercury-tribe
    But I hope I helped you, even a little bit.

    No no no, why would I take it personally? :)
    It helped me get rid of some mistakes I diden´t catch up on myself and made me do a few subtle changes to it. I´m not mad at all if that is what you think, In fact I´m quite glad you gave me the constructive criticism! :)

    Actually, I have a bright idea that might get you more attention. I'm going to remix this piece and post on my Soundcloud when its finished. But first, I would like to know what the BPM is.

    You wanna remix it? :D
    And the BPM on this version is 120 BPM. I incrised it to 121 BPM on the newest version I made that I haven´t posted yet. And most of it is based of around C and G :)

    You have me on Skype if you wanna talk more about it ;)

    Tell you what, when you are finished with it. That is when I will start remixing it.
