I want to be honest: There's a lot more to it. The harmonies you introduce here already set the tone very clearly. What you have to do now is use these harmonies to build the song in exactly this direction. Introduce the drums and build the song around these harmonies. Take your time and place the low notes exactly where the harmonies demand it. If it sounds crooked, the bass is not in the right place. Try moving the bass around until it fits with the harmonies you introduce in this part. Then it will be really good ;)

While you have some nice sound design and feel this is a good starting point for a track it did feel like it dragged on at it is. Modulating the panning is ok to do but maybe don't do it as much as you have or as wide. The other thing that I think could have added a lot more interest is to modulate the a the filter to open and close to add or remove some energy. You could do the same with the note length. The last thing would be to mix up the beat a bit by muting parts or adding fills etc.

The high arp thing is a bit to repetitive.

I rather enjoyed this. I think it's really nice to hear how you have progressed during your time with OSC. Your music has grown to be much more cohesive in sound and composition. Do keep it up !

i think it needs a bit of work,  there's good parts here though

Nice Delay on the Freestyler like Arp. I think the snare needs a little bit more high end (not sure if the kick also needs it?) They sound a little bit muted. Otherwise the snare sounddesign is really on point, as well as all your sounds! I like the little detailed sounds panning around in the latter half of the track. I think this track is more of a track which you put in the background, instead of actively lsiten to. Nice detail in the end were the ARP sound goes a little bit back (time wise)!

nicely produced, but I think this could have been shorter and had the same impact.
