The first 50 seconds of Jazz-House-Fusion are awesome. It is clever, unexpected and interesting to listen to. The following sections falls back into expected territory. It is not bad but it is not very interesting either and the uniqueness of the intro section is gone. The following section is nice until the next chorus.

I think this track would have been great if you sticked to the intro theme a bit more and refrained from the piercing leads in the chorus.

Great job!

Excellent composition!

The music, lyrics and arrangement are great! The song is varied enough to be interesting throughout. The transition at 02:17 is a bit abrupt, but other then that the progression is excellent.

You nailed the old school sound and the production is good overall. I have some slight issues with the mix, though. It feels a bit as if the vocals are competing with the other instruments in some parts, especially in sections with harmonies. Maybe you could try to make a little more room for the vocals in the frequency domain when EQ:ing the other instruments. I also think that the song is a bit treble-heavy.
Nitpick: There is some high frequency noise in the recording early in the bridge section after 02:17.

Great work, keep it up!

Thanks for the input!

Nice!

The main riff is catchy and the arrangement works. It would be nice to have a section with a different chord progression to break it up, though.

The instruments have a nice sound. The recordings are not super tight, but they do not necessarily have to be. The main issue with the production, in my opinion, is the drums. The arrangement is decent, but the drum samples used sounds really flat.

I feel that it could be really cool to put some vocals over this track.

Keep it up!

Nice vibe!

The mood of the song is great and it sounds really nice. Although, I feel there is not enough happening. It feels a bit repetitive. It would be nice with something to break up the main beat. Or maybe it would be enough to play around with the drums a bit more.

Awesome!

Hard to find anything bad to say about this. The sound design is great. Having the rain sound in the beginning fits very well and it makes me wonder if it could be used again in the middle part. The highly compressed part sound really pleasant and is not obtrusive at all. The use of samples is very well made.

The production quality is solid. The only complaint I have here is that the mid-low bass is a bit muddy.

I would really like to hear some more experimenting with voice samples and maybe allow yourself to deviate from conventional song structures. I feel like you could create something unique!

really just gotta find the time but definitely trying some stuff like this. future stuff will be more like what u suggested.

glad you like it tho <3 thanks for checking it out

Great Sound!

The sound design is really nice. The song feels dynamic and alive.

The production quality is good. The lead melodies feel a bit too loud in the mix at times and the mid to low bass could be improved. Other then that it is pleasant to listen too.

The only real complaint I have is the main theme. Having it off beat like that was pretty cool, but I felt quite done with that melody after the intro. I think I would enjoy the track more with it completely removed. From 2:10 and onward the melody was very nice and a pleasure to listen to.

Keep up the great work!

Cool!

The progression is good; it really gets more and more interesting as it progresses.
The intro is a bit boring with only a single instrument and drums. I feel it could be spiced up a bit to capture the audience attention right from the start. I like the way you returned to the intro theme in the middle of the song, though. Past 00:15 things start to get interesting and the last 30 seconds is by far the best part, in my opinion.

The production quality is a bit erratic. The snare in the intro sounds really thin and the mix between the drums and the lead sounds a bit off. The mix felt more balanced as more instruments joined in and I really did not expect such an advanced end section. I feel that the drums could use some work overall, though.

Making a track in only 2 weeks is impressive in itself. I like the idea of trying to release something every 2 weeks. I think it is a great way to push yourself to put in the work and to learn to finish your projects.

Keep it up and good luck!

This is cool!
The overall mix is good, but some of the drums could probably use a bit of attention.
The voice samples are awesome; makes it interesting to listen to.

What is going on with the DC-offset, though?
The track has an offset of almost 50%.
If you are playing this through a direct coupled system you might be burning speakers, if you are unlucky.

The dynamic progression is great.
The calmer sections sound really good with an interesting soundscape.
The buildup is great but the "chorus" does not feel as intense as I would like.
I think the slicing effect (or gate effect, whatever it is) on the main lead, that works well in the other sections, makes the chorus feel a bit disrupted.
Great work overall!

This is great!
The in-your-face dissonant chords are bold, but they totally work.
The saxophone disappearing to the left and coming back on the right is brilliant.
