Good sound, but lacks development & timbre work... Automate!

love the intro, reminds me of a Flat gentleman from France a bit :)

I really like the rest of the drums, but the snare comes across as very under-powered and dry.

The mix is pretty good (snare aside), and I get you went for something quite chilled here, but some elements like the marimba didn't really do anything for me. I would have love to hear it expand on the FE-ish riff and open up a bit.  But anyways, just some random dude's opinion - Overall, I hear a lot of progress in your work and that's good to see.

Good mix again – clear, crisp and balanced. All nice and cheerful too. I think it's best when you have the mallet and keys together. The mallet on it's own felt a bit static to me.

Imho, shortening the mallet to the point of losing tone doesn't sound too good. I think simply filtering would have been to way to go there.

Well mixed. The percusion elements, the bass, and pad chords fit well together

Great to hear you are finally nailing the production side.  Excellent work.  It's a really well balanced, energetic mix.  Quality.

Good track and clear mix - your getting so much better - now some more melodic lines would help.

I think the kick vs snare balance is a bit off - I like your shaker style hats!

This is my entry for the 182th edition of the KVR One Synth Challenge where all sounds were generated using the Charlatan 3 VST plugin using mix of free included effects in Ableton Live 11.
I hope you enjoy it and feel free to offer any comments on how I might improve it if I were to do a remix for a wider release.

Please also note that downloads are only intended for personal use. Redistribution to other platforms (except for what is needed for the challenge ) or modification is prohibited. If you wish to use it commercially or do a remix don't hesitate to get in touch with me first.
