Inspirational! Those pads/strings following the melody on those particular notes really make the piece quite nice.

Really nice and calm. Love it

Thanks guys! I'm actually new to producing and this is my very first track. It seems the mp3 conversion took out some of the sound though, especially the oomph in the main kick - probably because of a poor mix. Oh well

You have some pretty good ears for a new producer. If you're thinking that you're losing loudness on conversion, check how your DAW exports waveforms. You might need to add more compression to your track. Personally, I think that the main kick is actually fine (though snares and other percussion may be a bit on the quiet side, compress them and boost some gain). Since the track is so ambient, it's lovely to have that synth in the foreground grabbing our attention.

Thanks! After listening again I think you're right - I appreciate the tips!

Nice pads and harmonic motion, and I dig the build/drop.  Nicely done!
