The word in the beggining are good but you should you another voice to say them. I like the dark tech-trance feel it has.

What program are you using to create the track? I am only familiar with fruity loops. In that program you have a hundreds of choices in which you can manipulate the sound of words. My suggestion was made on the belief that you were using synthesized vocals/ not human.

im using fl but i got no vocals in the track,synthesized or human
lol did u even listen to the track?

hey gemini... i listened to ur track. all i gotta say, the mastering is not very good at all. the samples you used or the way you programmed the vst's make it sound way too muddy. too much clipping and distortion. hrm.. lemme start from the beginning i guess.

the stereo delay you're putting on your hi hats are pretty good, along with the panning. but overall its way too empty up till 1:58 when the first synth comes in. there's really nothing filling up the track. either effects, or some sort of ambience, etc. unless you were going for that minimalist type feel.

your kick is not bad.. but the bassline, is sounds like its distorting or clipping? don't really like that too much.

on top of that, there's needs to be alot more variation in the percussion your using. more, more more! the kick is just stomping away.... i mean. very tiesto style... i guess.

the main idea of your track is not bad.... but there just needs to be some more percussion, variation in bassline, better programming, transitions between points. for a song that is 8:15, its waaayyy too repetitive. if this was maybe 6 minutes... then ok.. ionno... still feels like there's a lot missing. keep working!

I think he pretty much covered it all. I like the idea too, but the song needs alot of work. I def. like the bassline, I'd just add more "feel" to it, but it's a good start.
The bassline distorts alot, especially towards the end of the song, u might want to check ur levels and stuff. And like u told me before, u'r still not done with the drums, that's one of the reasons it sounds empty.

But work on it, this could be a kick ass song with the right changes

I hope you are not expecting all the feedback to be all technical and stuff. i dont know any producing terms. i'm just gonna tell you what i liked and didnt like.

I dunno... i was kinda bored in the beginning, but i chalked it up to being a song that starts out slow and builds up nicely.... around 4 minutes i liked the changes you made. I especially liked around 5:10 the stronger sounds you have coming in, they are cool. But i was expecting more of a buildup i think. But around 6:20 the peak is already over and i'm left wanting more. Liked the special effects around 6:45 - very nice. Maybe your track was made to just be kinda chill and all, but i think i would have liked it better with more of a melody, or maybe a stronger backbeat. Like others have said, I think it needs a little more - something. I'm just not sure what. Put it this way -- i thought it had a lot of potential but it didnt make me want to get up and dance. And it ended very abruptly. Could have maybe faded it out with some special effects?

So, all in all... 5.5/10 stars. I think if you play around with it some more you could really have something. Thanks for letting me listen Hope my comments weren't too elementary, lol.

i liked the concept. the sound quality is very poor however.

Posted by spacechica on Oct-07-2004 16:30:

I think the song has potential- the rhythm is sound and pretty advanced. However, the melody could be clearer with a more defined structure and/or buildup. Also, the bass could be louder to balance the hi hat and snare drum in the beginning. Hope this helps and thanks for sharing with us.

I like the melody of the tune. I would luv to hear a hardstyle version of it.
