Im really feeling this track and I totally know what you're going for but I feel like some of the VST's could be a little better. Maybe the chord stabs synth could use a little more reverb and delay. but if it sounds right to you then by all means. Stick with it. Overall pretty groovy track, seems like you got your music theory down. =)

That bassline is freekin awesome.

I'd be tempted to lose a bit of the intro and break parts, they sound very derivative.

The bassline has a bit of reverb on it by the sound of it, maybe too much. It could also use a tiny bit of distortion and another look at the EQ but it's a killer bass.

If you had a play around with the structure and found another hook to go with that pluck synth I think you'd be onto a winner there.

I was on it twice today and can't really put my hands around it.
I love this track, is awesome but is missing something, the wooow factor, so let me run it tomorrow and get beck to you.

Really good job man.

Cheers

Tomo said it, its reverb and more air that's missing in the chords. Maybe lay low on the sidchain on the lead and chords and just take a little off from the low end. Other than that beautiful track mate.

IMO what you are missing is the whole background layer (FX and additional secondary pads+arp). Please check this track to get better idea of what I�m talking about Mark Schouls. Run first 5:00 min and you will see how this secondary sound/FX can improve listening experience and spice-up the beauty of this/any/your track.

Agree to add a bit more reverb to your pads.

Overall this has potential to be a killer track man. Remember this is only my opinion and if you don�t agree with my opinion/suggestion that would be perfectly OK with me, just because it is already really good track.

Cheers

This song is really well put together musically, and structurally, but I think it could be improved a lot technically. The bass is beautiful, keep that.. but

I think the plucking instrument needs some help, the melody you wrote for it is fine.. but it sounds like it could be improved. Also this doesn't change much to the song as a whole, but the stabs that come in at 30 seconds sound pretty choppy, you could turn the release up a tad so they don't sound so truncated.

i'm loving this though, beautiful stuff just keep working on it!

wow this is great thanks for all the advice, u guys sure know your stuff ,I'm still working on the track, it seems as soon as i make any dramatic to it something else starts to sound wrong, its hard to know when to stop lol.

I respect your honesty but without any reason for your dislike your comment appears to be quite rude, what do you not like about it?

Posted by TranceLover007 on Mar-09-2010 01:13:

Don't worry man, get use to it - he is a good guys but is always speaking his mind.

Awesome track needs the pads and textures widening, fill up the sounds stage. not far from perfect.!
