Is it to difficult? There is no complecated words or anything, the language is simple (�couse my english sux ). But yeas, maybe the meaning is, that�s up to you.

When I write to a song, I just translate it to words. I tell my story but leave spaces for your fantasy. I�m not much for cheesy lyrics.


Thanks a lot for your oppinion and I�m glad you like the track!

Listening...I guess I'll split it up into the composer and the singer.

Speactra:
Well created frozen atmosphere in the beginning, but for some reason the bassline just doesn't seem to fit note-wise that is. Some dissonance which you might be going for. Pads at the break are awesome. Nice airy kind of barren landscapish feel to it. I think you did it with phaser. Sounds like square pad too. The melody just doesn't really knock my socks off. I don't feel it goes anywhere I guess. But that's just my opinion. Clean and solid production though.

Akia:
Vocals are pretty dark. You do have a nice voice, little accent to it. I do agree with the others though in that you sing the majority of the song quite monotonously. I understand that it's to preserve this desolate and empty feel, but some emotional wordless sounds likes ahhs and ooohhhs might grace the song and add the finishing touch. I'm curious as to what your emotional singing sounds like. Anyway, I like your singing.

Overall:
Track is cleanly produced and has great sounds. Some elements though just don't seem to mix melodically.

Thanks for your rewiev and advice! Yeah, maybe some ooohhh and aaahhh would make it less monotone, we will think about it.

Sick reply Akia

...I really hate my computer sometimes... so slow.

Fantastic!

Listened to the track and loved it!... the production quality is outstanding!,.. What did you use to get the drums sounding so tight?.. good compression?..

At nine minutes its certainly long enough, but it has a great build and the vocal's beautiful,..

All good!

listening:

I like the bassline.. got a great groove to it. but i think it could have been layered for more depth. the percussions are on the right track, but just not there yet.

I like the melody.. simple deep, and effective.

Vocals sounds like Bj�rk actually. but unfortunately i dont think the vocals fit or do anything to the track.

Definitely got a good idea going on here, but i think the track lacks depth and clarity.


Posted by Speactra on Jan-15-2007 23:28:

Thanks for all great replies!
I'm going to do a second version of this one within I take your advices to me. At least 3 remixes is coming up from great producers, more info about that soon

Compression, levels on each drum and equing...

Thanks again

ok, i just took a listen, and it sounds good.

pretty much everything has been covered by previous posters...

needs a better kick and a new bass patch. and ya the chord progression of the bassline does sound a bit wierd.

akia, you have a pretty voice but just listening through my headphones it feels as if the vocals were mixed too low. the vocals kinda get buried in the mix and i cant really hear the words.

this isn't my style of music so i can't really be too critical.
the mix does sound a bit muddy.
(i know it isn't mastered )

i think the percs get kind of tiring after awhile, mainly the splash cymbal that you place on beats 1,2,3,and 4. this is probably just personal preference tho...lol

also, i feel a serious lack of low end.

anyway, these are just little things i picked up on from just listening to it a couple times, it has a bueatiful vibe, so keep at it!


and of course, check out my track http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...4&forumid=74&s=


Posted by Akia on Jan-16-2007 13:05:

Like Bj�rk?! That�s actually the second time I comperes with her, I can�t get it... Her voice is adorable!

Thank you for your rewievs, they means alot!


Posted by Speactra on Jan-16-2007 13:42:

Thanks ASFSE, I'll check the vocals volume, and yes, the drumwork could been abit more variated. Fix that in the second version
Thanks for listening

okay this track is not bad. i like the percs and the chill atmos sounds, but some areas sound stale. akia vocals sound good and are not cheesy. nice soft soothing voice, but they dont fit into the track perfectly. in some places the vocals seems streched out like 2-3 seconds.

thats is true and i felt that too, the vocal can be made louder. i liked the way how the hi pitch word 's' delays after 3:32 [headphone only], that was neat. cross panning/adding delay to vocal might be a good idea in some places. the bassline is not great, but okay. changing that can be pain because you may have to change the arrangement of yout entire track. maybe add some tube distortion to the kick and punch it up. keep it up guys!


Posted by Akia on Jan-19-2007 23:17:

Thanks for your reveiw, Suneel! We tried with a faster vocal once, but that didn�t fit at all. We will think about what to do (it�s not streched, that�s the way I sound ).
