Pull Over, I'm Sure They Just Want to Talk / With Guns?

Gear: Teenage Engineering OP-1.
Ideas going in: I had just downloaded a new drum sample (A4 drums), and started trying them out when the first part just sort of created itself. The rest was just expanding on that idea.
Reflection afterwards: The mix sounded much more vibrant and deep while recording it on my OP-1, so I'm worried that some part of the album recording process or mp3 conversion process (or maybe just my headphones) is making the sound just a little flatter than I'd like.
Again, feedback is the only way I'm going to grow; a creator in a vacuum is going to continue to produce the same shit over and over again. Let me know what you think, and where it was weakest. big_smile

Hot drums! Sounds cohesive to me soundwise (I'm mixing/everything on earphones too, so that's my reference).

nice industrialish beat and that arpeggiated synth is awesome.  IMHO the mix sounds good to me.  Nice melody added towards the end too, well done!

Sounds great! Everything sounds nicely balanced to my ears.

wow, OP-1 sounds fantastic. What do you think of the workflow?

Thanks to everyone. I do think the drums might have been a little hot.
Kris, I am so used to the OP-1 workflow by this point all the negatives are just understood as a part of life. Things like the destructive editing are something I just deal with.

Really deep base... Sounds amazing with proper low end definition, but not suitable for bad speakers (all the pumping bass gets lost)
