Song started 3/4/2013, created using Sunvox.  Every once in a while, I hear an electronic song that is so moving that I feel I will be changed forever because of it.  If I have to make a hundred songs like this one before I produce one good enough to move someone else in such a way, then it will be well worth it.

My main issue is sound quality:  How to produce good sounds.  I don't think there is any hope for improving my sense of creativity with respect to melody formulation, and I am not all that unimpressed by the structure of my songs either.  Structure is an area in which I am improving, and so I am not concerned.  What does concern me is instrument design and spectral engineering.  What I have the most trouble with is producing instruments that sound full and unique.  As much as I am in tune with what I am attracted to in terms of melody and harmony, I have found that merely imitating this feature does not result in a good song.  I have found that much of what is required to make the sound of a song appealing goes unnoticed by consciousness.  Sound engineering is a weak point of mine.  Designing instruments in order to make full use of the audible spectrum is a skill that I still do not fully understand.  Finally, eliminating unwanted tones artifacts from sounds and songs is another area in which I have little experience thus far (i.e. with using filters).

If you have any advice, criticisms, recommendations, etc. at all, I would be glad to hear them.  I consider this to be "in progress" so long as my skills are actively improving.  Please tell me what about this song should be changed, because I can never quite tell what is missing.  I can only hear its general inferiority when compared to the sounds on my mp3 player.

Thanks.
