[Trance] Neotune - Angel Crusade - Full 192 kbps

Goodday,

I'd like to share the following track with you. I sent this in for the TA Unite 4 mix, but I think we have to wait for a little while so I hope to submit a new track. I thought it is the time for some "professional" feedback from you guys on this one .

This track sounds a bit sinister. The strings are filled up with an opera chorus at the string "climaxes". I think it worked out pretty well.

See what you think of the whole, I'd greatly appreciate your feedback!

Cheers!
-Jay

finaly something from Jaym
so far beats sounding good, bass is good, some niec little fx, here comes the string, sounding good, :S melody isnt my type here hehe
very scary, i loooooove the synth at 4:15
the bass synth, very powerful, and overall the whole song has amazing synths, really excellent
maybe the kick could use a little more power,
thats that
good luck on Unite

I like the little rings in the background...

the wispers are cool aswell...

ahh.. here comes the lead, nice...

cool track all around.

i like it, it is a bit sinister but more on the cliche-level, as the overall uplifting & energetic feel ruins a bit of the effect, but still it's great the bell sound that you used is also great, but yeah, cheers man

Good afternoon, mr. M, Jay
I really like the feeling of this track, it is dark and sinister ... almost reminds me a bit of count dracula, playing some organ and clanking some bells or something.

The strings are really beautiful, I like the panning percussion and around 4:10 you've got some great synth sound there. The background twinkling arps are very nice, and I think the arrangement / transitions are very good.

The only thing I don't like about this tune is the kick drum, it sounds ... um let me see ... possibly it is too loud? i'm not sure, but it just seems to stand out.
Anyway, nice work!

starts cool

i don't feel that the kick is weird or is to loud, sounds ok here.

nice synths and perc, very dark indeed.

your mix sounds good now, not to much high.

1.52 cool rest point, those pads are nice, but i don't get the transition.

ah ic after the second break the transition gets even weirder, think it's what you wanted right?

cool lead , dark synth and those arps are cool imo.


Posted by Mike_Foyle on Aug-21-2004 11:40:

Jay, as i told ya before i love this. really unique and almost groundbreaking. not many people have made music that sounds like this


Posted by DJ_LOOPer on Aug-21-2004 13:57:

Good track! I agree with Massive, the dark sound is great!!!!


Posted by Jay M on Aug-21-2004 14:10:

Thumbs up

Thanks guys! Really appreciate the feedback, glad y'all like it.


Posted by DRM on Aug-21-2004 14:36:

this is a nice and refreshingly different track u got here jay

kick and bass are nice and well balanced imo. percs are a little thin but they are original which is a plus point. i like all the little fx and swooshs n stuff u have going on, all well placed in the track.

The melody is a little strange, doesnt seem to do a huge amount but still sounds cool. the synth that comes in at 4:05 is a nice idea, nice melody but just needs to be fatter sounding as it would sound much nicer

good work overall, keep it up mate


Posted by Jay M on Aug-21-2004 15:12:

Cheers!

Well done man!
Really liked the dark atmosphere you got there, really good job on that.

Thought there are a couple of issues you should deal with. And the first one must be fixing some notes that sound off at about 3:20� the bass notes just doesn�t go well with the lead notes� dunno maybe its just me, but it sounds kind of weird.

Other than that try making your leads sharper, using harder compression and some EQing might help.

But overall this is quite nice, keep up the good work!


Posted by Stories on Aug-21-2004 20:54:

Pretty nice tune mate. I like the dark sounding nature of this tune.


Posted by ManTrance on Aug-22-2004 19:13:

Not really my type of trance, but i'll comment on the production.

Excellent percs and eq work. Great use of synths aswell.

Everything sounds v v powerful.

Gr8 master too.


Posted by Jay M on Aug-22-2004 22:12:

Hey thanks guys!

@DJ-Kreing: You could be right about the notes, but it's easy to get used to them, thats why i left m this way.

As I was actually compressing the whole afterwards, i think it lost some power there. The final mastering is the hardest part, I really need to get that better. The synths making fatter is just a matter of time, me keeps on practicing


Posted by Subtle on Aug-22-2004 22:50:

plus
I really like those percussions, firm and nice
the synths build up nice
I like the kind of wierd melody u got there
cool synths u bring in about 4:00


minus
I dont like the little triangle bling u have in the beat (small matter really)
are there any notes off here?
it may sound a little thin

conclusion
good creative effort, the mixing and mastering sounds good.. I think maybe after a while the percussions are getting a bit to repetetive.. the main lead is good.. I can hear a certain feeling about this track indeed..

ok production

6.5/10

Thanks m8


Posted by Ian Vanderson on Aug-23-2004 13:15:

Whooooooo!!! Scary!!!

Love athmospherical sounds. If I had to finish this track, I'd try to accentuate some elements, perhaps add some more scary Alfred Hitchcock psycho FX and ghost laughter to strengthen the fear, this track breeds/arouses (whatever ; ). But I don't know, if it is your aim to get people getting the creeps. *hehe*


Posted by Icone on Aug-24-2004 11:06:

Wow, this is some weird trance for me... That don't mean I don't like it, but it certainly means some getting used to

I think the bass and perc are tight, nicely done. Melodies are sounding well, though weird once more. Overall, nicely produced I think, though not immediately my type of trance.

Cheers
Wim

hi jay..listening--

-first of all i can tell this is gonna be pro, nice wide bassline and good FX and backround percs
-the kick is fine and that hats and claps are the right level
-interesting rhodes-ish noises
-nice pads...and good tabla deep fx
-hmmm when it comes back in, somehow the bassline doesnt fit the rest..it all seems quite out of key to me.
-with the right melody and pads sequence i think this could be a lot better
-liking this bass stabby noise coming in now
-once again...kicks back in strange.
-this is quite unique trance but for me it doesnt really work

7.5/10
make more tracks of the same quality but with a better theme


Posted by Jay M on Aug-24-2004 14:40:

Thanks guys! It's the type of trance which seems to keep this down. It was fun experimenting with these kind of sounds tho.

@ John: I totally understand your points, and busy making a lovely peaceful tune already..

-Jay


Posted by almost on Aug-24-2004 15:04:

i dig it,

kinda reminds me of X-Cabs during the build up

nice


Posted by InDeepSpace on Aug-24-2004 23:03:

Nice atmospheric trance tune. Like this one very much. Very good to hear some trance stuff from the dark side.


Posted by Vizay on Aug-24-2004 23:21:

for some reason this track makes me think of Final Fantasy VII (7 for you that doesn't know how to read that )

I dunno if scary si the right word, I would rather say that it's sound is mystical.


well about the tune, I dunno...it just doesn't get to me, gives me pretty much an "ok" feeling but nothing more.
I just can't put my finger on what's missing.

maybe it's just not my type of trance.


Posted by rqpeyruxvg on Sep-14-2004 09:55:

Hey Jay M,

I really like this a great deal,

The buildup is great with the clicky synths. The kick, bass and percussion is great and the breakdown is nice and simple. Nice use of effects and cymbals.

I like the rough sounding synth around 3:45, good melody and notation, suites the composition very well.

Great stuff,

Keep it up!

Terry
