[TRANCE] Xplorer - Blue Dust (Original Mix) [FULL 192kbps]

Hey again. This is my first track so it is kinda repetitive and simple but i guess that's normal for a beginner. Anyway i'd like to hear your oppinion about it.

All comments apreciated!

Straighforward

Beginning is right to the point, kick and highats.
The track moves on after a while, easy to remix thats for sure.
I do find the bassline to be nice and clean and the levels are well balanced. To me thes strings could use a little bit of work they sound kind of dry. The Piano comes in and does it's job of making me stay and listen to the rest of the track or a "hook" as it is called.
I understand its still an early work as far as producing goes, but it has it's strong points. The break is nice and quiet. With very few sounds or atmospheric effects, although I do say I miss it, the track sounds good this way. You need little sounds and elements to keep the dancefloor from getting bored of repetition. Good track. Beef it up a bit and finish it up

thanks kris!

anyone else?

ok dood, well clearly ure not all that beginner, theres no need to say ure a beginner just to get a wow from someone, ure only cheating ureself, sorry if i've offended you in saying that and you may very well be a beginner but it is certainly evident you have had some experience in producing.

the track is pretty good man, everythings very clean, percs are pretty decent, decent momentum to the track, doesn't sound repedative to me just a bit tame, could have a couple more elements in there to liven it up, but all in all decent track, melody a lil simple but works, keep it up man, would love to hear more from ya. i'll post somethin up here soon so you can reveiw me.


peace

thanks for listening RoKo.
i'd like to check out some of your work. just let me know when it's posted.

i did some minor changes on the percussion and bassline.

i must say, very impressive dude, considering you only started not a while ago, you must have a hidden talent in you

i see no reason why you shouldnt continue working and release something someday

Yup, It's very impressing!
It sounds very clean and balanced! Great work!
It does'nt sound "n00bish" at all!

I totally agree with Kris Xperiment.

I like it, and is seing forward to your next tracks.

Keep it up!

Nice start.
The bass works but I would make it much more driving.
It should be a bit louder.
I like the pads.
Nice plucked riff or is it a piano.
You should have more elements.
More percussion and more melodies.
The bass should have much lower end.

5/10
Omer.

thanks for the comments.

np, what do u use?

-The kick and highats get a little repedative but thats probably there for mixing, also they are nicely eq'd and well made.

-The synth that comes in, possibly a bass, not sure. Its very yummy.

-The pads are kickass, giving a really cool feel to the song.

-The progression you get going on, is nice.

-The plucked synth you added after the break is beautiful, nice job on that.

-Piano, beautiful. Not much to say about that. -EDIT- As I listen, it could very well be something piano like, a high guitar, not sure. Sorry if I'm mistaken.

-Second break, pretty sweet stuff... I'm still dying for a better progression though. Getting kinda repedative.

-Uplifting yes, I enjoy it alot.

-The new percs you slap in before the song, are really nice.

Great job man! I love this track, a definate listen!

Check out Midnight Heights if you would, please.

cool I couldn't tell

You said yourself that this track is simple and repetitive, and I'm not going to disagree. But that's to be expected if this is indeed your first production, and I can't criticise you for that when my own first production was about as complicated.

In future, don't be afraid to crank up the bass! And instead of attempting to match an established artist's sound as closely as possible, like a lot of amateur producers, seek to develop your own style. That's not directed specifically at you, it's just general advice that I would share with any fledgling producer.

Getting back to the track, it's main downfall is that it doesn't really amount to anything before it ends. I don't mean that you should shoehorn in some big riff madness, rather that you should look to create a main melody with a bit of weight behind it. Then repetition should be less of a problem (though having the bassline constantly alternate between two notes was always going to result in an uphill struggle).

hmmm that main drive is soo nice & catchy. love it!

(btw Mart, what's up with your productions? get them out of the fridge! =>)

thx [MaRt] and Gladius

big sounding kick
interesting percs aswell. the single open cymbal is a bit out of place.

bass sounds good and clean. and the notation is lush! i love the pad that plays with the bass.. oh it lush. haunting and emotional!

plucked harp sounds nice but im sure something else would work more and be less generic.

this is so clean.

break: not as good as it could be. maybe more epic with a slight bassline varation that carries into the main part? i mean at the exact 3:05 you could have made the bass note go lower and add another bass note into the equasion.

good work.

I pretty much lost the ability to produce. I don't think anyone really misses me.

thanks man! i'm kinda surprised many of you thought the sound and mixdown is clean. yeah, break is kinda empty but i'll work on that in my future productins.

cheers

This is so true, many beginners struggle to imitate an already established producer sound, and for such, they have it harder than trying to develope their own style, however, is always good to listen to pro tracks to train your ear and laern a thing or two from them.

I see you getting signed in the future man, just keep practicing, don't ever give up, pretty much what had to be said was said so, I'd go with the advice of my fellow members here, they have helped me a lot, and so this should help you as well.

Cheers

wow not bad for a first track .. your already better than me lol! ive been producing for a year now.. :|.. good sweeping pad, nice plucks..
misses a bit of drive after the climax... sounds very good to me well mastered and stuff like that

thx doode, glad u liked it.

Nice big kick.

This track gets right to the point pretty quickly, I'd say.

I think the breakbeat at around 2:00 could use more hits on the kick between some of the snares. The track seems to hold out too long, and the energy is affected.

For a first track, this is quite incredible. I think you need to be left afraid of panning. There's some panning in this track, but it seems to prefer sticking to the center, but most amateurs have that problem. Mixing is pretty good, mastering is alright. It's a pretty damn good track, I'd say.
