you say that it's the full song in the title, but then it's 96k. Normally I'd consider "full" both "full length" and "full [okay - awkward usage of the word] quality," or something like that.

Hey!
Wicked intro, with the bass coming up and those background FX. As allways the melody is a beauty! Just one thing that boders me, the whole track is abit too repetive, might be only me i just cant see a proper break (i dont mean the one in 1:50). Post a 192 and i'll comment on the sound

p.s - Clap sounds ok to me.

enjoy

Well i think you should make the break around 2:00+, play with some FX and some leading melodys till then. maybe some pads at the break?
Just a thought

yeah, its repeatative.

A couple suggestions. Use another breakdown, but due to the mood, atmosphere the song already creates, a long breakdown might make it a bit boring in a way, so experiment there.
Another is to change the intro, make it a bit more instrumental before you build into the song, and either you can push back or keep the first breakdown at the same spot.
Use a breakdown in the middle, say 3-4 mins in, and introduce a new instrument, melody, or something to add to the song, play with your audience and tease them with it, only play like every 8th note or something of a melody or the compliment the instrument would add to the main melody, and at the end of the breakdown, bring it fully in or something. Not sure what I can suggest for an instrument/sample, maybe something more mechanical, electronic to compliment your organic sound =)
Maybe play with a breakbeatish breakdown with 2 mins to go for like 30 seconds?

Some ideas.

Otherwise, I like the track, great production overall, other than its length (which normally I like) in which its sort of repeative, its good stuff!

btw, thanks for posting the 192 version. It makes a big difference.

oops, sorry for the misunderstanding. i didn't mean to put it all in there, i meant, those are some possible suggestions for what you could try (not necessarily all).. since EM and a couple others mentioned along with myself that the track could use some changing up at points to keep it a continuously interesting and enjoying journey.

hehe.

so no, you don't have to do them all! lol. you don't even have to do any! EM is a smarter man than I, take his suggestion(s) =)

I really like it. Especially how the piano interplays with the synth. But like people already said its a little repetative, so why not just make it shorter?


Posted by jwear2004 on May-20-2004 21:34:

Hey, thanks for the 192k. I'll respond as soon as I get around to finishing downloading (I'm on a crappy slow 56k which kind of sucks).


Posted by Massive84 on May-20-2004 21:46:

man the piano touches me alot, so dreamy, same with the lead..

i really don't care if this is repeatative..at least everything that is repeated puts me in Trance.

am not even gonne comment on mixing and such, the piano and lead are just to amazing for me..

Remember sometimes Trance can be about how you feel in a sertain track, it doesn't always have to be compressed and filled with perc etc..

people seem to forget this alot.

as usual i'll be playing this one this weekend


Posted by jwear2004 on May-21-2004 06:31:

Okay, finally my comments. Firstly, the eq-ing and mastering are quite good. The piano is quite nice. My main complaint is that the track doesn't seem to progress towards something. It just kind of keeps chugging along, which is more okay in a prog track, but since this is trance you might want more phrasing and such of the melody and track structure. Also, one of the lead synths is a little too electronic for my taste, like at 5:56 or so. It's not a big problem, just a minor quibble. One last thing is that you rely on the whooshing noise a ton. It's pretty cool, but maybe it gets a bit repetitive after a while. Sorry if this seems like a ton of criticism, I tried to keep it constructive. It really is quality overall.
