nice enjoyable track you got here.

although lacking a nice long note bass to fill it out i like the vibe. its quite background style music that id expect to hear in a classy upbeat bar/restaurant.

i would give it more of a bassy feel with another bass note in the background. 5:53 - i love the overall sound. it s got a lot more emotion with the strings and 'crystal e.p' sound in there. id introduce these more gradually throughout the track so they are present for more of the track.

nice and original style

About time you kicked out a new one! Finally took some time off from the titties eh?

Nice funky groove, and the melodic layers you've put in make it perfect for those early-night club sessions. I've gotta say I'm impressed that you're able to consistently put out this quality using only Reason!

It could use a little more low end - I think just a simple eq and/or parametric compressor on the master oughta do it. The clap also sounds just a tad filtered - I'd give it a bit more low/low-mid end. Otherwise good work!

I concur, but overall is a nice tune, liking the mood pretty much bro.
Keep it up ;.

Those are some great tips Rich. I like your idea about gradually introducing some of the melodic components earlier on. In regards to the bass/low end, I think I may revisit that as it has come up before. Thanks for the feedback!

More like the titties took some time off from me

Thanks for a very useful review Aaron. I still have a lot to learn about Compression and Limiting and even EQ'ing... I've been winging it, turning knobs without knowing what I'm actually doing. Fortunately, some guy took it upon himself to structure and provide a very organized, detailed and friendly master list of tutorials covering this matter and I'm exploring those whenever I get the chance! I've got a lot of learning to do.

As good a time as I'm having with Reason, I'm strongly considering moving onto something else... possibly Logic. Thanks again Aaron!

Hey man

Got round to listening to this today - had it on the ipod so got a good listen

I like the bass line a lot - especially the one with loads of delay - reminds me of Underworld - Bigmouth.
Has excellent atmosphere like Toad does...with the chords and the melodies that fade in and out. Percussion is nice too...some people might think this boring - but I think its pretty amazing work - so many subtle sounds keep it interesting.
Excellent work

Thanks for the awesome review Ricky! I'm glad you appreciate the style... I'm a big fan of the groove and subtle funk.

Your kind words made my day!
Keep well,
Trev

We're talking about an imaginary sister here and I'm already getting over-protective

she'd probably be a slut anyway

Movin on up

Another fine advancement in your producing evolution, a great jump. Bumpy bass line, with a great melody equals quality atmosphere. What ever his name is, is right, its hard to believe you created this track on Reason. Easy to mix into and out of. I wonder if people know that another track of yours was played on Marcus Schutlz' show a few months ago, this ones even better. Can't wait to hear what you come up with using more proffesional software like Logic

Hi Trevor;
I`m new around here and this is the first tune of yours that I listen to. I really like the un-busy structure and general feel of the Track. Some very nice sounds used thrughout the whole spectrum and most important of all. They balance each other ready well.
Listening to tunes like this in this board kindda makes me ashamed to try and show mine as there is so much talent to be compared by /to
Anyway. This board is easyli becoming a truly fountainhead of excelent tunes for my Independent artist folder in my HDD.
Keep making such great tunes.

super bump

Mate this is really nice sounding stuff.. all the sounds sit well. Love the bassline, so deep and mysterious. Nothing to complain about at all really on this tune, probably one of the better productions i've heard on the boards in a very long time.

Great job!


Posted by Jay M on Nov-06-2005 10:23:

Yo trev,

Funky bassline and great proggy synth sounds. Liking that sound at 2:11 and 2:28. That sound always gets me. I like the 1/16 bassline as well, gives great drive. High bell like thing fits really well too.

The percs and hats are cool too but they just sound really raw. A tad reverb and more stereo and some modulation to it would do a great job. Around 5:00 the control is lost it seems, that part can be skipped imo. After that it continues with the good stuff. Synths are compared to the bass a tad loud, I'd put them to the background a bit more and add some panning to them, i think it could give the whole track a more underground feel.

Mint prog track for sure.


Posted by mark_the_gooner on Nov-06-2005 12:07:

Nice intro so far, sounds like some easy listening.
I quite like the melodies.

Not much else to comment about the track really, easy listening, not very uplifting in my opinion though.


Posted by dEEkAy on Nov-06-2005 13:09:

hey mate


very nice production quality. i like the overall feel, choice of bass is nice,..pads are good too

i'd leave out all hihats on 5:05 - 5:20 though and just let the kick run till the 2nd break at the end of that line
(just a very minimal suggestion from me hehe)

else, i'd like a 320kbps version

Hi Jay - I appreciate you taking the time to put down some suggestions in your review; that's valuable stuff right there I'll take a close listen to the percs and see if I can refine the sounds a little bit, and the synths as well. Thanks man!

Hey Mark - thanks for the feedback! I wasn't really going for the uplifting feeling with this one - I wanted to try go for minimally melodic. I appreciate you taking the time to listen!

I'll send ya a PM re: 320kbps version - thanks for the review.

Hey man, really liking this tune! Good to see another Reason user too. Production is top notch- drums and bass are chunky, with some great sounds floating nicely on top of them. Good stuff, keep up the good work, looking forward to your next tune.

Hey fellow Reason user!! Thanks for the kind review, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Seeing that you described my drum/bass as chunky made my very happy! Thanks again,

Hey TrevorKay,

Thanks for giving me the heads up on this one. I guess its not trance so its hard to get what you need in terms of feedback on Tranceaddict but i will say this much. I like it, in fact i love it. It is full of spacial sounds that allow you to move your mind a little to the left or right of what seems like the same sounds other people keep using. The funky bass and drums add the groove element and so all in all it makes me trip balls and want to dance (with my eyes closed, unless there is a big titty girl in front of me) at the same time.

Fine work.

B Rok


Posted by iloop on Nov-10-2005 22:42:

very atmospheric and almost chill, I really like the percussive elements and overall subtlety of the progressive proscess of this track. Build elements are very nicely done and the instrumentation sounds nice and crisp. Nice grooves.
