Actually, the beat is kind of annoying in my opinion. It comes across as cheesy and detracts from rather than adding to the ambiance of the song. My recommendation would be to strip the melody down and add a counterpoint on a 'different' instrument, maybe flute or clarinet.

This melody sounds cool just not for someone of my age. It's soft and calm nice enough for babies. It is not my preference of music. Not my go to honestly. But under the perspective of music and occasions it would fit in on children's birthdays. Overall the instrumentation it's well arranged and musically.

Sven Sundberg brings us Its Time (Remix) and as he states in his request he obviously made changes to the basic beat and or percussion for this song. As a song on its own, it has that subtle upbeat tempo and rhythm that keeps a listener engaged and a blissful melody with gentle nuances throughout. As I listened with speakers the general tracking and mixing are on point to a degree... However when I listen with headphones I discover a couple issues with the mixing and mastering. Synthetic drums and basslines are hard to compose and mix within a song and can easily kill the texture of the melody. The basic problem is that the drums are out of balance in terms of EQ with the rest of the song and on headphones I can hear the drums literally forcing unwanted dynamic artifacts onto the rest of the mix making the bassline indistinguishable from the kick drum. I consider the left hand on the keys to be the bassline but in this case I suspect Sven used a method called Side Chain to trigger a synthetic bassline in sync with the down beat of the kick drum. I personally prefer loops to pure synth in percussion and felt from a producer's perspective that a fretless bass would have worked wonders on this song. I give it 4 stars because it was a pleasant enough song, but didn't provide me with a sense of feeling or emotion. It felt a bit static.

Good Comp, Sometimes i thought it was randomly placed in the track, certain instruments. Try and balance out more.. a little more bass. Bass can carry a song or beat a long way. Drums is good. Snare can be better, Stronger. Place this beat in the Genre of "New Age Pop" Good beat tho, sellable to media outlets, i can hear this on a commercial or something so you should try and hit some placements. Keep up the good work

Hi Sven, i am not going to sit here and critique your work by pulling it apart. I have read all of the previous reviews for this track and there are some good tips among them. I come across many artists/producers here who do what they do for fun. I see this is a remix and unfortunately i haven't heard the original, i don't know if you have used any stems from the original so i really can't compare this rework. What i can say is that your production is very good, nice crisp sound, you obviously produced it as you heard it in your head. When you set out to do a remix you are obviously inspired by the original in such a profound way that you take time out to rework it. You must really love the original to do this. Ok, i found the track relaxing and chill. Sure there are lots of things i would have done with this work, but that is me and this is you. I know you will have had a lot of fun doing this work and that is good enough for me. Keep on having fun !

Hi Sven: Thank you for asking me for a review on your song; Please take it as a positive way to listen to the track and what I will try to fix in order to produce it. Good songs usually start up with a good verse and a catchy chorus plus a way to keep the listener attention through all the 3+ minutes. You have 2 of the 3 here; I would like a real chorus and not a variation of verse one, You use the intro idea as a bridge it is good but repeated too many times more than 12 without a variation, also there is no end on the song. Please do not take me wrong; this could be a good song but it needs to be much more attractive and polished by a producer. On the other hand; your sound and mix levels are very good, pay a lot of attention to the drums avoiding the robotic sound, I miss a good bass and more fill ins or changes on the percussion. You have talent and skills please keep up with your search. Cheers from Minnesota. El MAGICO.
