I've recently bought a new pc, which allows me to use
better effects than I previously could.

Ive tried to master this song of mine best I could,
time flies. Would like some feedback on both the
mastering, and the song itself!

what plugins do you use to master? what vsts do you find
yourself using the most?

cheers

well for starters I recognize your click hi hats as an
ableton built in preset, I believe I can also hear some
stock beat repeat in there. You really should mask the
presets a bit more. That's all fine though, it's only
annoying if you have an "in" with the sounds (which many
here do).

The mix was ok, but I didn't like how you cranked up the
volume on the whole track around 3:50 and even louder again
around 5:00 in. If you want to convey dynamics and a sense
of build up and release, building upon your melody is the
way to go, rather than just turning up the volume (there are
exceptions sometimes, though).

As far as the structure, it's ok. I think it could have used
some more beatwork and variation in that area. Good
harmonies all around, good timbre.
