very interesting track with a vibe that im liking sort of the vibe u get from one of m.i.k.e's more sinister tracks.

the chord changes are a bit unorthodox, they sound a bit weird on the first change, but then ur mind gets used to it and they sound very cool i think the synth u use for the bassline needs adding to, i think a synth with more hi-end in it would pick it up a bit and help make the bassline stand out a bit.

when the main melody kicks in, fucking wicked stuff. i love that melody.

after the breakdown i think u need to insert some perc to give it more of a feeling that its going for it (if that makes sense). its such a shame u just fade it out at the end.. u better make a real ending

i think u need to concentrate on ur mastering too, it sounds a little muffled and unclear as it is. play around with the eq's of the channels and make sure one part (as in lo, midrange + hi) is not too crowded.. but u said its in its early stages so i will let u off

keep working on it, its very promising

second halo/need comments!!

Hello again TA's!

Now, this is 98% done, needs some mastering and certain amount of polishing. I need your rewiews and comments to do that.

http://re808.kicks-ass.net/re808_-_second_halo.mp3 I planned to send it to labels aswell.

all best,

You could tell me this song sucks, but at least I would have an opinion, which is better than not knowing it.

i like this lots!!

it's very refreshing to hear a trance track that has a good melody and bass without resorting to the usual arpeggio's.

some parts are sounding a little crowded - especially the parts just before the main melody starts. you might want to see what would be causing conflict with eachover and maybe adjust the EQing so they don't clash

Brilliant though, and yes - you need an outro, just a few bars of a beat to be able to mix out of this well

thank you JMF! I'll try to use some compression to avoid the sound clash. Also will work on outro, thanks for you input!

best,

I really like what you've done here - its sounding good!

My only criticism is that I think the main melody sounds a lil 'sloppy'.. like there are too many notes, or you hit the same note too many times. Maybe taking out a few notes, and having some fun with delay would do the trick!

great stuff! lookin forward to hearing more.
