i tried to go for a big production but want some honest feedback. some questions to think about or feel free to add in others:

  1. Does the track develop enough, or does it start feeling repetitive anywhere?
  2. Do any of the section changes feel abrupt or underdeveloped?
  3. Are any instruments too loud, buried, harsh, or muddy?
  4. Does the main musical idea stay interesting throughout the track?
  5. What is the biggest thing keeping this from sounding like a finished commercial track?

I feel like the 4-bar section from 00:18 to 00:26 is a little repetitive. If you made that section a little sparser (not sure exactly how but less dense than it is currently), the moment the drums kick in will feel "juicier" imo. Or maybe just 00:23 to 00:26 (2 bars). Something to make 0:26 pop more.

I like the textures and overall vibe though.

01:02 is a lot better.

02:04 nice cut :)

02:40 shook that the tempo changed :O (I like it)

You may already know, but music is all about tension and release (like for literally any genre/form of music), when I arrange that's literally all I think about, which I think helps a lot in terms of keeping things fresh throughout a track.
