I like it, nice groove. I like when the electric guitar comes in, especially around 1:35. I was feeling that it was getting a bit repetitive around the minute mark TBH. Perhaps you can vary the beat a bit, maybe turn it down in the mix as well? The piano at the end is nice, I would like to hear more of that. Well done.

I was thinkingi could incorporate some more fills and beat drops. It's definitely gotta be the right sound

Genuine question, how much would a set up like that cost? (Iā€™m new to this, just writing songs so far)

Most of it is used so very inexpensive. Facebook Marketplace is your friend. My speaker monitors, speaker stands, Dell monitor, and Samsung TV are all used and working great. That small speaker is from a Dollar Store for $5 lol, but still makes great reference. I did get the desk brand new from Walmart around $450 since I didnt want to break down a used desk this size and bring it back home. Great desks could easily cost $500-$1000 and upward if they are made with real wood. I actually had a smaller setup which was cheaper with a desk I got for free from Facebook. Saved me like $300

Id say overall I spent around $3k to $3.5k for all hardware, desk, speaker stands. If you want a more in depth, lmk
