Song: Patchwork Soul

[Arcanum]

I've been doing some composing lately, and I recently finished revising and rerecording this track: Patchwork Soul
I'm pretty proud of it as of now, but I'd like a few more critiques. I am aware that the strings have a rather awkward cutoff at around 3:50, and I'll fix that whenever I get the time to do it. Anyway, tell me what you think.

Hmmm, it's either I'm not used to that type of music or I had my speakers up way too loud. I'm sorry to say but I cringed at the first thirty seconds of the song before closing my browser.

Umm...it just seems like the guitar isn't really on the same page as the percussion, and I'm hearing a lot of off notes. But hey, I'm a pianist, so I really don't know much about producing. It just sounds way too garage (if you get what I mean).

To tell you the truth, I don't get what you mean at all. I think I've read over your post at least 5 or 6 times, and "garage" really doesn't mean anything to me other thasn sounding like it was made by a garage band, and at least by the way my ears hear it, it sounds very little like it was made that way. And in terms of the first 30 seconds, I don't hear any off notes. I did make a few mistakes later when the diminished part on the strings comes in, but from what it sounds like, you didn't listen that far.

Anyway, could you elaborate a little on what you mean, or which specific parts you found bad? Because so far, I really don't have much of an idea what you're talking about.
