It’s nice, early hear stuff like this in /prod/. Birds sound ok, could be quieter but seen as there aren’t that many loud features to the song (birds and swirly pad) I’d probably leave as is. It no doubt will be boring to some people but I was happy to listen all the way through no problem. You could definitely add some more texture or percussive stuff if you wanted...or not it’s your song. I’ve given you a follow if that means anything. Will check through your stuff later if it is public

Looking for a bit more feedback on my latest track

it's like listening to you repeatedly practicing the same scale for 4 minutes with drum beats layered on top.. decently produced but i'm not so sure about the melodycraft here.
ebbs and flows rather nicely and the birdsong complements the pads pretty naturally and you do a good job of sequencing it.. never feels overwhelming or kitschy and always seems to balance out the synths. i thought you were nuts pointing me to a 12 minute song but i'm going to check out the rest of your tunes once this one's done.
i really dig those faint deepchord-esque stabs that properly settle in at the midpoint of this track. imo you don't need any more percussive flourishes than those and there was plenty to hold my attention without any additional ornamentation but if you do come up with another mix that has more of those i would listen to it and let you know which i like more

I think this is a great beat, well produced, and i actually disagree with i think you have enough melodic variation, though generally i think a little more movement in textures could help (or just the addition of vox, if that's the intention). one major thing that would help with is to better mix the low end. your bass is pretty much squashed out of the mix by your kick. cut the sub range from your kick and lower the overall kick level a bit, and boost the lows a tiny bit on the bass, and add stronger sidechain compression on it (obviously trig'd by kick). the two are competing too much right now and the bass is losing. nice not something i'm normally into, but actually really well done. I think some of the delayed synth elements are a little lopsided EQ wise, but could be a bit much resonance on a filter. i haven't referenced this on monitors, so i wouldn't take that point all too seriously.
very high level of noise, either you're over-compressing something in the background (this seems less likely) or your recording equipment isn't that great. i normally think some gentle noise is okay, but it's not flattering here. mix seems overall okay, and the master sounds pretty good! i think there are a few moments where the vocal delivery vaguely drifts from the guitar playing but it's overall a good job!
