Sinnica Hax - Eraser [Trance]

Hello all!

I've worked my ass off the last days with a new track, "Eraser".
It is a 9:11 minutes long track with a driving buildup of darker propotions that is maintained throughout the whole track.
It's basicly finished, but I still want it to go through the TA calibration system(tm), that is you guys

You can find it at a direct URL HERE it's 12.9MB but dont worry, the host (should ) be very fast for most

Thanks in advance
/F

Hi Fredrik!
This is a really nice tune! Though it could need some work.
The composition and melodies are great! I really like that guitar and piano.

The kick is to loud.
The buildup is to long in my opinion, after 3:20 it starts to happening stuff. You could have introduced that earlier I think...
You've got a very nice bassline.
The guitar is a bit high in frequencies. (what synth made the guitar?)
That filtered synth after 6:33 is great.
Good percs...

I really hope that you work some more on this, because it is very good...

Keep it up!

//Alexander

Thanks for the input Alex
I shortened the buildup somewhat so where you said (3:20), now happens at about 2:20 instead and fits better, thanks again
the guitar is a bitch though (Hypersonic btw) I'll have to do some major work not to make it sound too bright at higher tones, but I certainly agree with you on that point so it will be fixed

Lovely atmos at the beggining of the track, the pads in the intro are very nice. I like how the bassline starts although I think 2 mins is a little long until the main bassline pattern begins.
Having said that it builds very nicely, maybe missing some elements to give the track some more drive, like a nice acid lind and maybe a counter bassline.
Some more fx like swirls, whooshes etc wouldnt go a miss either i think.
It has a lot of potential, the main thing imo is to add some more parts, fill the track out and gove it some more energy.

Thanks alot for the input guys, yeah its mostly finishing stuff left to do now, but I'm still thinking of how to make that guitar less "bright" at the higher notes.

definatly agree on adding more FX, activa, gonna dig around and see what I come up with that may be appropiate for the song as I posted before, I have changed some in the buildup, so the last two hihat elements come earlier, so all the drum elements comes at around 2:20, will upload a clip of that later, as soon as I have overcome the minor issue with the guitar.

Big thanks dj_palm, I completly agree with you that some might find it repetive but I most certainly dont either, personally I think the song has a good balance, by the way there is a lower bass there too, only coming up each 12th beat or how to say, perhaps I should add so it comes every 8th a little bit into the song during the buildup!

Many thanks again

great work.

the kick is a bit too punchy imo.

other than that i loved it. lush break!

keep up the good work


Posted by Sinnica Hax on Feb-05-2006 20:40:

Ok updated the track now, shorter buildup, and a more aggressive baseline at the peaks and some minor additions, I also lowered the kick. still thinking of what to do with the high notes on the guitar..

updated URL is at first post =)


Posted by Sinnica Hax on Feb-05-2006 23:12:

another update I would like to say its almost finished now, phew... I am very pleased with the result!

URL can be found in the first post as usual

fluffy prog is not my style at all, but this track is really good for that genre, sounds really professional!! it`s just really boring to me lol, but i know a lot of other people really eat this type of shit up


Posted by Speactra on Feb-06-2006 00:26:

The kick sounds much better now.
It all sounds really good!
Seems like the TA calibration system worked
Maybe try adding a deesser or try some eq'ing on the guitar.

Again a really great track. Love it


Posted by Sinnica Hax on Feb-06-2006 01:28:

tried EQ'ing the guitar some and personally find that it sounds much better now, also added some other minor changes to the song, same url Appreciate the feedback alot!


Posted by Speactra on Feb-06-2006 22:22:

The guitar sounds good in the break, but when the beat comes in it looses all its power...
Sorry to be hard on you, but I want this to be perfect Its a great track!


Posted by Sinnica Hax on Feb-06-2006 22:34:

Totally agree with you on this, exactly what I was feeling was "missing" aswell, but instead of adjusting the guitar I will a different guitar that goes along with the guitar, aswell as the piano later on.

Thanks alot for the input

Don't forget to post it here

I concur, 1+ .
Keep it up.
Kopi =o.


Posted by Sinnica Hax on Feb-07-2006 16:30:

only minor changes being made from now on
uploaded a new version again, the guitar is better (I added another guitar to work with the main one) and better in volume imo but its a damn bitch to get right

Thanks for all the feedback once again
Kopi you still find the kick too loud and buildup too long?! I mean when Speactra said that, the track was in a early state


Posted by Speactra on Feb-07-2006 23:51:

I cant hear any difference, you must have forgotten to post the new link?


Posted by thoughtlessjex on Feb-09-2006 02:02:

I like the chorus pad. Overdone in trance, yeh, but I love it anyway.

I like the bass in the intro.

There's a bit too much reverb, IMO, and some things in the low end start to get muddy.

Guitar sounds alright. Sounds very soundfontish, though. Not much to be done about that, though.

Lead synth at 6:50 is really harsh, tone some of the high end down.


Posted by JoeyEnv on Feb-09-2006 14:43:

Oh baby, yes. Similar to the old Rebirth of Trance style and that can only be a good thing. It's immense. The buildup is really sweet as well and just floats from progression to progression. The guitar dosen't really sound like it belongs in this tune but the atmosphere and break more than make up for it.

I think a piano should be used instead of a guitar for that more euphoric feeling but that is only my preference.

Just quality.

Listening now.

1) I like the bassline although you might try to fatten it up just a bit. It has the potential to be a rather driving force behind your track but gets a bit washed out.

2) When your first main melody comes in at around 2:24, you might want to put an additonal effect behind it so it sounds a bit more gradual when it drops in.

3) Nice melodies. They all work together and build nicely.

4) Work on the crash just a bit. Its a bit loud and abrasive compared to the rest of the percussion.

5) I agree speactra, when the track comes in after the gutair intro it looses some of the effect.

6) I like the piano. It works well with the track.

Keep at it. We all have our styles so this is just my 2cents. Looking forward to hearing the final piece.
