hey mister darwin - nice way to get a review i notice some of the older members' posts are being ignored a bit....

onto review..

you have an almost oldschool sound. but then your little effects keep it up to date.

i think overall the sound is a bit dry. more verb needed here and there. just to make it a bit bigger sounding. i know its overdone but maybe employ something like the fred baker style 'techno snare' and some more percs to build some more drive. cut out the kick more, like leave four beats out now and then. and lower the comp on the kick aswell. needs a bit more power imo.

mirror that bassline and then cut all the lows on the mirrored one. then add some reverb. maybe thats all the extra verb the track will need...

nice clean work. keep it up!

ohh... this is nice! I`m a BIG fan of old school trance.

I dont think the sound is to dry. honestly I really enjoyed this!
so many new sounds I nearly have heard before :P the melodie is very typical.

the sounding lead fx/303 is abit high imo!

Well. I will edit this post tomorrow, then I could here it with some more volume & bass

i have already told you what i think m8 READ YOUR EMAIL LOL

Good work as always.

im gonna be doin another massive mix if you could add some little more things into the drum pattern i.e bongos at the begining to make it a bit more modern i will put it into my mix for you.

kind regards DJMartinp (IGNORE THE USER NAME ITS MY OLD DJ NAME)

Ok, that's two guys wanting to hear more percs, so ill do it :P Percs arent's my strong point but ill try.

If anybody can guess where the main melody is ripped from ill give them the project files for this mix.

I can't put the bass on the 303 up, it's a very fragile mix and any changes on the 303 interfere with other elements too much. Ill give it a shot though.

Thanks Martin, always good to see my name in amongst millionairs sitting here in my cramped room thumping away. Ill do my best with the pers for you.

Well, I've been listening to your updated track...

That main synth is nicely done and combine great with the soft stringsynth in the background. Also the deep sounds appeal to me
I still think the rhythm is a bit too thin, especially the hi-hats. Maybe some effects on the rhythm would make a beginning, it's then up to you what else to add to make it more interesting.

Nicely done so far

Yes...good olskool trance....reminds me of the time I bougt and listened to all the Rave Missions compilations CDs.
This is trance trance like it "should" be. In the terms of repetetive but interesting sounds. I almost got in a trance here

this goes to my playlist

The style is very oldschool, but the sounds are minty fresh. This is the kind of stuff we need more of.

The acid stabs are a bit loud in the mix.

Overally, though, the track is kinda quiet. Could do with some mastering, IMO.

I think you could still use a few more percs.
