Arrow [Prog-Trance]Sunquest-Sunquest(Massive Remix)<Sample>

Oke, i made a post earlier today with a pic, but it ended up in a small "massive buy a new pc thread"

But i finished this i think, Ron is pleased as welll, made the break better and such, posting a 3.25 min sample, since it will go to labels with the original. i think

Bitrate 256
Bpm 130

Comments are welcome

i check this out

edit:
heard it and its nice
good work

I like that ambient kick in the break. Very classy.

I didn't really like that high pass stuff before everything came back in. It made me get real tense, as high pass filters tend to do.

Good proggy feel throughout. I liked it a lot.


Posted by gerrycueto on Nov-28-2004 00:59:

yeah get rid of that highpass filter... prog is supposed to be chillin... this isn't a hard house tune. Open hat could use work, but everything so far so good mate.. Keep up the good work

Hey Fahad, I am liking this. Sounds a little closer to melodic prog. Hehe i hear some shinshara sounds in this, and a great compliment to the remix. Man i am really liking your notes and atmospheres, really nice. But maybe tighten up the quality of the sounds a little to sound a little warmer. MSN me when you are done with this.


Posted by sooper on Nov-28-2004 01:00:

Pure quality!

Love the 'heartbeat' kick during the break.
Such tasty sounds in here!


Nice filter work on the percs.. no suggesetions at all - this is great! Fine work Fahad,

trev

love this tune. its perfect the atmosphere during the break is amazing, really addicting sounds youve got floating around in there. good luck with the labels mate


Posted by Massive84 on Nov-28-2004 08:45:

Thanks

Ya that filter still not good. Thing is when i play this part in Reason i get msg computer to slow hehe.

What should be warmer? more reverb or something? Catch you on msn when you can David.

The tune is really really good, but that you probably know already.
So here is some constructive criticism from my point of view:

- First, you got to phatten up your percussion, its just so very basic the way it is now. An open hat/ride on every off beat is not enough. I mean it just lacks the energy and vibe a good prog trancer needs to have. Try adding some more percussive elements to make it thicker, more powerful and less repetitive. Some congos, different layers of hats, bells�stuff like that.

- The breakdown even though it has a great atmosphere and all, is really to long. I mean if that�s supposed to be progressive trance then a its brakedown can't last for 2 whole minuts. It might be cool for home listening but people who dance to it in a club will just get bored.

- The whole thing lacks sharpness, not enough high frequencies. This does give your tune a dreamy feel but lowers its energy. Maybe try re-eqing it or something, maybe even lowering the reverb.

- 3:00, there are two lead synths at that point, and it seems like they are both in the background of the mix. At least one of them needs to take the role of the main lead and stand out abit more. I also didn�t like the filters passes you used on the lead there.

That�s it, hopefully you will find some of this critics help full.

Cheers!

hell yes, the higher frequency thing worked like a charm, just adjusted the main EQ.

Hmm there is really allot of perc going on, most of them are subtle, and i like that
Long breakdowns is my thing .
Cheers buddy

first of all - nice sounds...great connection of beat/bas and synth...i can also feel warm ambient while listening to it but for me this brake is too long
2:57 - there is something wchih doesn't fit to this crossing I think..like it was too sudenly... but the whole sample is great... grats for this tune and give me a try checking my track:

greetz guys

Production is very nice

The break is maybe a bit too long - but when it all kicks in it sounds great.
I think that the bass is off key on the 3rd chord change on the main melody......so maybe change that.
Other than that - good tune.


Posted by Massive84 on Nov-29-2004 14:00:

thanks everyone, i used some of the tips , i finished it now and Ron has the full

I think the bass is fine, didn't notice it was off.

Break is long, but i don't see why that should be a problem.


Posted by Joca on Nov-30-2004 21:56:

Well Fahad, as you know, I love this track.

The break is too long for a live audience waiting to dance their asses off but great for someone chilling at home.

Great work and keep it up, you continue to get better.

I really like your remix, Fahad, if you can post the full when finished, i'd be glad! Lovely progressive influences, fit well!


Posted by capricorn15 on Dec-03-2004 00:23:

ooo
this is sounding good, i like the bassline, becuase its sort of subtle, imo. good sfx. i like the melody here in the first breakdown. kind of simple but good. 1 minute, i like the pads, they sound really spacey, are you using a phaser? i like the echoy synths, good panning. holy shit, this pad at 130 is pretty sick. as well as that new melody synth. the melodies combine together seamlessly, that is excellent work. yea this is quality stuff, send it to labels, i havent heard his original one, but send it with that one too. quality stuff.


Posted by Massive84 on Dec-03-2004 04:38:

thank you both

Yes that sweepy spacy panned sound has a phaser i think.
That sweepy pad starts really early in the song at the 16th bar it starts fading in. When i finished it, Ron wanted something extra that makes it more proggy lets say. Hehe compliments to Ron for the melodies .


Posted by The Drow on Dec-03-2004 18:32:

I like it!
No complains.
Just make a club mix with a shorter break.
