I just uploaded a new tune to Soundclick called Never Too Many. You Can check it out here along with some older stuff with equally bad titles

I'm still fairly inexperienced to this so any help in making these sound better would be much appreciated!

That was some nice post rock. I have a few comments, but feel free to ignore them if you want
I think the glitchy drumms could be tightened up a bit. As they are now, it sort of sounds liked you randomly clicked around on the midi sequence and left it at that. I think the actual sound of them could also be improved. Maybe make them a bit more "electronic" sounding to act as a compliment to the more realistic sounding drums that come in later on.
The song sounds a bit empty right now. I mostly noticed it when the glitchy drums stopped and we are left with just the guitar tracks. I don't think there was a significant enough drop in dynamics as there could have been. Maybe add a some atmospheric washes or something.
I also think you should add the bass right when the real drums start up to give it a bit more kick.
Oh, and you might want to add the third "w" to your link

No, this is all good advice. I'm here to learn!
- Definitely noticed the drums, complimentary rhythms arn't my thing yet but I'm working on it.
- The whole thing is definitely sparse and I need more mid-lower stuff in there to fill out the sound. That had occurred to me earlier to me earlier but I never got around to fixing it. I recently got Anbsynth 4 so I'll trawl the presets and find something that works. Suppose that's a good starting point. There's no way I can even begin to understand how to create sounds on that yet.
Thanks muchly!
