Thanks for sharing the details of your production ;) Great production! Nice arrangement, good sounds and good vocals, Nice to see Qtractor mentioned and used to such great potential. If I were to offer any opinion I'd like a little more crispness and presence on the vocal and the snare drum. I realize electronic music is all about that big electronic snare sound and I do like where it sits in the mix I'd just like to hear a little more edge on it after the initial attack, anyway please take those as VERY minor comments, all in all very well done!
