Sounds very good to me, everything fits with each other. Production-wise nothing to complain about except maybe in some parts (2:30 e.g.) you need only a little bit more "clarity". I'd turn up the higher frequencies but I'm not much of an expert with that style so others should decide

Oh, and the Piano is just awesome, external recording or synthie?

I give you 9/10 Points, keep up the good work!

if you found this helpful you could be so kind and drop my track a small comment:

Thanks for the great reply
maybe i've should done something about that 2:30 part.. I will maybe take a look at it

and by the way, All the piano stuff is made by me on the Korg Triton

I will take a look at your song too

hihats are really nice... could use some more layers throughout.. atmospheric type stuff.. plus the entire track needs some compression/limiting to maxamize the levels..

like the synth at 1:45.. what did you use?

it gets a little boring at 2:30 because the melody isn't really going anywhere...

the piano composition at 3:30 is real nice..

2 biggest problems - needs more layers (a more complex texture)

the general level of the track needs to be louder (limiting and compression applied to the entire mix will do that)

melody in the middle sounds very ASOT ish hehe
actually after listen to this , it sounds similiar to one of george hales tracks...
hmmm
but other than that, ur mixing and melodies are great, u just really need to work on mastering, such as more stereo a little, maybe a little more reverbs, raising volume on some sounds....
keep workin at it m8
peace out

the melody is actually the same as a track myself, george kendall + chris priscott did 18 months ago under our prismatic guise back in the day

I especially like the percussion and the pads and fx in this one.

The mastering is the weakest part.

Wait..

I hear a double kick (like in bad beatmixing)... I think there are percussion layers put on each other.. which makes me questioning the whole integrety of this track (or so).

Oh well, Dustbin it goes.

thanks
maybe a little compression and limiting will do the thing

at 1:45.. im not sure if that was a patch from reason, or vanguard.. but i think it was a downloaded patch to reason Subtractor, that i've layd a lot of efx on

thanks for my piano composition

it isn't totaly the same, but have some semlilar tones...
that irreated me alot :P
the melody just popped up in my head, and that was the resault.. i thaught it was my own.. till yesterday......

maybe a little mastering as mentioned before will do the thing

it's something about the layers of the percussion in it... something is crashing.. i haven't found out yet what it is.. but i will

well musically it's a nice tune
but the mixdown and stuff lets it down, everything needs fixing up!
