Underwater themed Trance with 'Nyana' influenced synths

Hello tranceaddicts - it would make me glad if you listened to my track 'Ocean Depths' - it has a strong underwater theme. It is ambient at start then goes into Trance. I hope you like the synths at around 4 minutes - they took a lot of designing!

Just click the green button to the far right of the song name to get hifi stream ( above where it says no comments)

Thanks in advance - and any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

By the way - my other half decent song can be heard on hifi on this page - 'Strings of Orion back to 1999 remix'.

The other songs are older and production is less good

Nice mug shot! Well as for the tune... quite dreamy! I'd increase that bassline a little! Great fx swirling around... sounds cool! Begin's to sound repetitive throughout the duration! Overall a decent tune with some great elements you could utilise elsewhere! Keep it up!

nice ambient intro
i think u could use a little more percs, it sounds too empty just a little...
when it all hits in, the main synth lead is way too loud and sharp,
as for the melody i think it sounds like this big famous song, old one, cant remember the name hehe
but it definatly sounds similar...
anyways,
ur getin better each track
keep it up

Really nice melody! PM me, I want the midi

Sounds really professional, i personally would have liked a bit stronger baseline, but the rest is quite ok. Maybe a bit complexer percussion, but that's not really needed imo.

Thanks a lot guys!
I will probably increase the bass, it is a bit low when all the synths kick in.

Hey man, I like the into is excellent you could use some variation after more perc's like others have said. although i like the breakdown you have some good ideas. How do you do that noise with the swirling synth? it sounds like theres gaps in it if you now what I mean? Its a nice chilled track good stuff man but may need just some thing else to give it more variation at times.

Nice intro, sounds like there might be some slight clipping occurring though starting at about 56secs when that synth comes in.

I'd like to hear the overall sound "widened", through either a slight reverb, or from a spatial enhancer plugin.

I really like where the song goes with the lead synth at 3:45.

A bit more presence needed in the kick, gets a bit lost later in the track, along with the bassline. Compare 1:30 to like 5:00, not quite the same presence

Overall, a good track. Good transitions. Needs a bit more seperation of your sounds later in track, it gets too overlapping. Try using white noise and a filter to get the same feeling of peak, while still retaining the seperation of sounds.

Would love to hear the intro as a break down after a massive assault.

Keep up the good work.
