Dj Renco & Amfora presents Third Section <-- Huge intro
Hi,
We are proud to present our new track. Its the first mix and we have to fix some little things. The track is a trancey one

feedback would be great

Third Section
Very nice track. I like the strings, very well done. Good kick and bass, nice drive. I don't like the clap, it sounds a bit lo-fi imo. The synths are great. Melodies are good, a bit too standard i think but they are nice. The overall soundquality is very good, wish i could let my tracks sound like this one. Well, good job.
- the intro would sound better if the synths were all a bit fuller. like using more voices or adding another note in the chords at the bottom end
- the higher pitched notes of the strings should perhaps be a bit more prominent, so they are not over powered by the bottom end
- within the main beat, id work more with the hats and percs make them more interesting and less 'common'
- melodies are nice, but better programming would provide the much needed energy and punch
for the intro, i'd phatten up the low end to add more atmosphere.
i'd maybe consider dropping a note or two out of that high freq sample in the early intro, maybe give it some echo with lowering volume, like a pin fall.
oops, let me rephrase, for the intro, phatten that synth!!
the bass is a bit loud imo.
the kick and percs are a bit metalic for my tastes, the kick sounds a bit flat, maybe go with a sharp kick? - nm, you changed that at 2:40ish, but it sounds a bit thin still.
i like the melody, but you drop that clap a bit early, run it another 32 imo. the 3-3:50 area sounds recycled with that clap dropping, sounds like you're stretching the track, but that's a matter of taste. (and im being an overly picky a*s tonight! 
)
i like the melody, and the atmosphere has definite potential.
lead into the break is a bit meh, fading out the layers like that doesn't sound right. sometimes the age old recipes work best.
love the piano. love the synth, needs a bit of work still. when coming into the break, let that awesome lead work its way up, or have the kick break off, rather than fade out.
a pleasant surprise at 6:30ish! I'd re-work the piano into this leading up to the build-up, again, taste
K, I'll stop hear before I write a friggen novel. I woudn't be this harsh if I didn't think this track has a lot of potential. Renco mate, sounding much better imo than stonefusion so far (no offense meant )
Subjective opinion:
The progression is very nice and that melody over is well spotted in the trance part. I like the trance part more than the intro. As said above, the intro sounds a bit too pure to maintain the atmosphere going thru. The track can be worked out into an epic masterpiece. Good luck.
i like it, especially the powerful synth
thnx for all the comments, we will work on the intro (yeah it is a bit empty there)and the percusion.
thanks for the great detailed comment Greg
!! it will help us a lot i think...glad you like it!
great beats/bass, great strings, kinda theatrical hehe
kind of old ferry/tiesto style
only thing i can suggest is the main melody part starts wayyyyyyy too late, and maybe make a little more variation with the saw synth when it all hits...
cool track , loved the intro & the overall sound even if it could use some more variations. Nice job
Hey there,
Listened to the track. The soundquality is really outstanding, my compliments for that. The track itself doesn't really do much for me.The break is really nice but very weak, I was waiting for a euphoric build up during the break which too bad did not happen.
The leadsound is introduced and that is really nice, but again the melody is quite simple and with only the lead sound after the break the track sounds rather empty and flat. If you guys added another stringpart or riff the track would become fuller and more euphoric.
You should also use another kick, this sounds a bit to ploppy.
Overal a decent track which can become a good track if you polish it here and there.
Cheers,
Nomen Nescio

i would love a copy of this if you guys ever put it on vinyl just let me know be awesome for my sets
thnx for the feedback, we still work on this one to make it a "masterpiece" 
Srry Sunquest for the long intro We wont change that
I def like those epic strings you used.
You did a Great job EQing/Mastering imo.
The clap does sound a bit on the flat side (too short).
Rapid/Jumpy synths (too accomodate the bassline) may go along nice with the track.

good track, guys,
as i told you before, the intro needs some more elements + the percussion needs a proper eq, liking the melody
looking forward to the final version
nice one! Is this made with Reason, FL or...?
its created with : Cubase, reason 3 and a Roland jp8000
Definately, this is a matter of opinions, I'd advice you to follow suggestions in the technical part, but in the melody itself and how the song progresses, do what you feel.
I say so, because unlike the previous reviews, I do like the simple and long intro, is beautiful and calm, not always is necessary to have a bunch of elements to make an euphoric intro, it is a matter of mood and what kind of meesage you wanna carry.
I like the song how it is, I have no complaints about it, lets say, the track leans towards the listeners who enjoy listening to trance in their couches while taste a fine cocktail or wine, than for clubbers.
The tracks suits me just perfect.
Great Job, I wouldn't change anything.
It sounds very Tiestoish, however it is a very nice track, as other people have said, the intro needs so work , it sounds quite empty imo.
Get rid off the kick right at the beginning of the break down, it sounded out of place.
I'm getting a great vide from this track, just keep working on it !
Keep up the amazing job mates
Cheers
Amfora,
Sommelsdijk, waar ligt dat eigenlijk? (pardon my Dutch)
BB
Sommelsdijk is a small town@goerree overflakkee, Zuid Holland
the synth in the intro is perfect (pads too) imo... but if you add more fx when the bassdrum kicks in it will be a gr8 opener. mixing / mastering is verry good.i love the kick & bass. the sounds are fat in my headphones.
i agree with the fade out thing. doesnt sound "right" in this tune.. maybe if done a little diferent (with perc on top or w/e).
not in love with the lead, i mean its not bad it just isnt anything special. maybe a "banging" orchestral kinda string would be gr8 in the break. anyways a diffrend sound for the pad would be nice.
overall 8/10 . more fxs and stuff to add some feeling and make it interesting and im sure you can release this one guys
Im missing some percs from the track if they were in they would be banging idk about the intro not 100% sure on it but sounds good so far keep it up .
