New song up

Here is my newest effort. I hope you give me some critique about the tune.
I used Sonar X1 Studio.

    I tried the link but ended up with the error message "Sorry! Something went wrong."  I'll try again later.

    Nice and ethereal. The drums could come up a few DBs. Nice work.

    Notation, the original DAW. Everything else is just rote. We are who we are and no more than another. Humans, you people are crazy.

    @Freddy J: I hope the link works soon so you can listen to it.
    @Guitarpima: Thank you for your comment, glad you liked it! I agree the drums are a bit low in the mix, I'll need to fix them.  The mixing process is one of my weak spots which I need to get better in.

    The mix could use more clarity and definition, especially the drums as Guitarpima mentioned.  But you've got the tune and it works pretty well.

    Thank you for your tips, perhaps I will some day try to improve the mix.  And thanks for liking the tune. I put it online too soon though, not ready composition wise either I feel.

    Kakku- wow nice synth textures man! Yeah it might need a few small things but you have a solid song. The main synth especially stands out for me as really nice.
     
    A little post compression done well could work wonders for this track. Nice work!

    Thank you for your nice comment and tips. I could try to put some compression but I'm not sure but is it so that at Soundcloud they apply compression to stuff they receive?
