I don't think this is a failed remix. I love the way it sounds. You do an awesome job on the remixes. I think it's pretty catchy.

I would love to have this in my music playlist!

Yeah, this isn't really that good. The beats are all over the place and it doesn't really have a good tempo.

Song shouldve began at 30 seconds in IMO

 

Instead of that initial slicey-sound, maybe have a kick, super heavy, sidechain that background melody into that kick and give it a bouncyness, IMO

 

This feels like 4 on the floor style hands up dance, but without the four on the floor kick and without the supersaw, this is still salvageable IMO, just give the kick more presense and give it some pumping action by sidechaining it. It's got a pleasant chord progression, and has potential. Don't give up!

 

3 minutes in, the snare feels.... off. like not on beat, idk how to describe it.

 

Yeah, this isn't really that good. The beats are all over the place and it doesn't really have a good tempo.

Also, to the dude above me, posting "This isnt all that good" on a track that actually does have potential isnt the best way to help. The tempo is just fine.

 

 

It would help though if you provided us with the genre you're going for..

 

 

So all that being said, here's whats good about it:

 

---It doesnt need a terrible amount of work to polish up

---It's got a decent chord arrangement

---It's progessive. I imagine youre probably going for something progressive (songs 7mins+ usually are)

 

Some bad things:

---The kick has a hiss to it that's unpleasant

---The percussion doesnt drive energy into the song

---It may just be that I'm not a listener of progressive stuff, but theres not enough of a melody or enough stuff changing for the song to be able to hold peoples attention. It doesnt need a LOT more variation, just some. Perhaps a second chord variation, or inverting some of the chords in choice places

---Dat snare is definitely off. I'm sure ofit.

---Intro is meh

 

So what I'd recommend:

---Ditch the intro

---Sidechain the kick to the pads youve got doing the chords, so that the volume of the pads decreases when the kick occurs. this will cause a pumping, dancing effect

---Give the percussion more definition

---Add some variation

---Add  distinct melody

---It will be less daunting to fix it up if the track is shorter. However, if youre going for some sort of progressive genre this isnt necessary

 

 

I tried not to repeat myself too much, but it's 7 am and I got no sleep. Hope this helps. It also helps keeping in mind your goal when youre making a song. Are you wanting to make something people are gonna dance to? Or is this supposed to be just casual, easy listening? Something that motivates? Or something that relaxes? Keeping these in mind, I find, helps keep you on track.

Anyways I hope I was able to give some decent advice, I've been working on music for some months so i know what its like starting out. Keep up the good work and dont let your hardships keep you from making music!!
