Don't Believe the Hype
I really dig it until the beat switch at the end. The mix needs some work because the track almost thumps with the drums - maybe a sign of too much compression used. Good work, though.

(1) I love the sounds you used for the atmosphere...Is it a sample or a VST...?

(2) There are some percussive sounds in the left channel that don't sound good to my ear when you turned them up...They sound better at lower volume, because they add some kind of "noise" feel that completes the main sound....

Please turn those percussions down...

(3) The beat switch was unnecessary...In my opinion, beat switches are OVERRATED...Unless the song is about a story that has a really shocking twist...The sound your created is a nice chill mellow, mind trip sound...

(4) Instead of the beat switch, you can adlib with some short melodic dark piano phrases and other sounds, to create a jazzy ethereal that of vibe...

yeah i was having trouble mixing it, mids and the highs were kicking my ass but im new to ableton live so its a learning experience. i really appreciate the feedback.

Im a big fan of calculated beat switches tho that wasnt my best but all the sounds are vst based and homegrown samples.
