u kno i love it dude!

Wooo, this is fantastic Shep! I love the melodies, very uplifting stuff! I'd love to hear this monster on big speakers, I'm sure it would sound amazing.

I'm glad you took my advice about the ping-pongy melody change too!

Keep up the good work mate!

- very driving from the beginning (of the sample)
- nice synths, maybe need to be a littte 'fuller', like with more bottom end
- good epic-trance feel, but beat comes back way too suddenly. i think even if you were going for the sudden effect its too sudden
- add some percussion and stronger bassline
- melodies are pretty nice

wow - lots of power in this one!

That synth melody that comes in at 2:02 sounds like it could use a few extra notes maybe?

Fine work shep!

Thanks guys:

euler - the bass is pretty driving and synths are thick sounding i think it might be the bitrate, as for percs ill have a look into it! Cheers mate!

Sooper - ill play around with it a little more! Cheers!

Hi mate!

Good to hear from you after this long time off. I definately like what you're working on here. Lovely melodies and flow, combined with some nice effects.

From what I heard of this particular sample, I can agree with eulerfx on some points. Bassline definately needs to be a tad stronger to make it more driving, as well as putting some more lowend on the synths and cutting some highs - they sound quite sharp to me.

Gotta run

hey chris, u by any chance mike foyles friend?
hehe anyways, track seems to be well in place, listening to the pads part now, real nice and smooth, ooo everything kicks in, well kewl m8, nice classic trancer here, that beep sound u got coming in at 2:05 or whatever is going too much to the right of the speaker, look into that
overall its a damn nice track m8, nice oldschool style
hear u l8r

Posted by Shepless on Nov-27-2004 20:49:

Hey Sunquest!

I am a friend of Mikes yea!

About the synth to the right, i sorted that now, its central and pans from left to right

Cheers

Posted by davidemonin on Nov-28-2004 01:45:

This is a real cool track. Awesome energy. Sending you a PM.

Posted by Ian on Nov-29-2004 12:05:

love the sounds mate, not heard the kinda happy strong synths in anything since Sundawner - Krystal Dreams - with a bit of work on bass & cleaning it up it definitely has the potential to be as good as that mate. Keep the good work up and lemme know when u have a full version

Posted by george_hales on Nov-29-2004 12:52:
