I feel like the melody is more prominent in the end than in the beginning&#8230; more layers or it is doubled&#8230; perhaps just mixed louder at that point and I do know how when recording you might get into it more and play with more feeling and intensity as the song progresses.  Normally I will &#8216;dog&#8217; a programmed drum track but this was done pretty well, it&#8217;s grooving&#8230; only the same fill over and over every 4 bars&#8230; I know, you&#8217;re working with what you have. With a more &#8216;chillin&#8217; drum track this song could set well in the jazz genre&#8230; live drums would change everything here!
