Nice melody and a very relaxing vibe overall. None of the harshness I often hear in music in this genre. I like the shift  from the main theme, very subtle but welcome at that point. Yes, a middle eight would be nice after the thematic shift. Sorry I'm grasping for words here, I'm an idiot. :)

Thank you Kevin for your nice words. Well you do not sound like an idiot and probably are not one. I on the other hand was being a little too childish yesterday with my rant.

Nice warm sounding mix - good choice of synth sounds. I agree it needs another section. Cool though.

Thank you Daryl for your comment. A middle 8 I will put into this thing at some point.

very nice, kakku
I love the bass tone in this. melody is really sweet, nice warm pads
 
I could stand to hear a little more beef in the drums.

Thanks a lot Reece. :-) this tune is from circa 2012. I cannot check it atm as I am staying with a friend who has been sick for a long time. There is no daw here. I used the Fm8 for the lead and the pad too iirc. I have over used it and usually the same custom sound with delay and phaser. For the bass I have usually used the SI bass synth's sub patch, the one weighing only 7 megabytes. My mixing those days was made with either my Grado sr60 phones or maybe I had already bought the mk5 Mackies. My mixing usually has been a bit like tossing a coin when doing the decisions. I have unfortunately also kept long breaks in the past also from composing because I often have felt uninspired and kind of unwilling to do work with my daw. Also being a bad player limits the quality of my backing instrumental work. The melodies I have managed to do just fine although I often must do a lot of fixing the timing problems(that is why I chose the name Tempomaster. It is a little attempt in irony) . Now I have recorded a lot of stuff while composing with the piano or me humming so it is a start in the right direction again. The humming recording I have done a long time though.

A middle section would be good but what you've got works pretty well IMHO.   As others said it has a nice warm feel to it which is nice.  Add a little extra phat on the drums and it could be good to go.

Good stuff kakku. I'd have liked to hear the melody go higher at some point in the tune, but really cool, chill track.

You are right. It is one of my trademarks to not to make enough variation. That is why I decided not to put the song I meant to put next here. It is called Peace and while I still like it I felt best to wait until I have made small variations to it to fulfill it's potential I believe it has. Unfortunately making the changes can take a while. Thanks for Your comment.
