cewl track, But i have a direct complain about that cheap hat! change or tweak it, i like the vanguard synth that pans try cuting the low freq on its, Lovley arp dark and all. build up is good but can be more spectacular. then it gets acidic , thats great like the hyped melody , I think it would work great in a club and that fuckin� gated melody is awsome!!! at that point the tune is like a ball of energy the break is good but the arp kinda melody needs some tweeking. after the break You need to add even more enrgy than before to make it go round! Add some tribals , percs anything you can lay your hand on hehehe . cool track m8 , need some minor adjustments and tweaking and its final! keep it upp - Mavve

bass might be a bit dry?
i like the build up but it feels like something is missing.

you need alot more energy after the break, its needed.

every thing sounded good to me. good job.

like the flow but not sure about the percs.
the build up is good, also the break nice.
it sounds very poor in the beginning but takes on gradually.
i think u need to work on percs at the start of the song.
otherwise sounds perfect.
nice work

hey,

Haha, this is funky.
Bassline is great somehow. Sounds a little muddy but its funky.
Percussion seems too "dry" to me, at least during the buildup. Later on this gets better.. my suggestion: maybe it would be good to add more hats that have changing volume.
Nice trippy pads and arrangement of sounds. Getting a little muddy, but still doesnt sound bad at all.
Nice fill towards the breakdown. I dig that passage.
The melodies are dreamy and a little darky, good for me
Nice buildup.
Not bad at all. I like it. It still sounds a little amateur, but in a likeable way, and not in a cheap way. Good!
You could still maybe fatten up the hats (maybe get some better samples - try searching for "Kalava" in google, maybe it brings something up that helps you), and try to make the synths crispier and cleaner (yes, some EQ work is needed).

The samples seem a little dry and uninspired.

The bassline is unique -- I don't see too many funky ones like this.

Everyone elase has this track pegged as is.

You arrangement is experimental/progressive. Your choice of instruments seems to be random at times. The gated-stuttering synth before 2:30 is one more busy item on top of them all. All the layers upon layers upon layers doesn't necessarily make a good EDM piece.

Good breakdown... you've got the right idea there, but you could apply more reverb/cuttoff to the gated clang.

Sometimes the stuttering items afterwards seem a tad saturated and dry at the same time. Yes, you should spend alot more time in your sequencer's mixer.

All in all, not really my style, but you did have some good ideas here.

allright, this is exactly what comes into my mind when listening to your track.
Although I do not really like the beginning of your track, I have to admitt that I like all your layers. the part that starts at 3:12 till 4:07 is damn f*cking great At 5:15 your track starts to become really good again, that's it!!!
I would like to see you reworking on the first 2:30 minutes

Nice to hear something different.

The track does get a little messy about half way in but more to do with your handling of frequencies.

I think the kick or the bass need to be tamed a little in terms of frequency cut off. Probably the bass as it makes a clean kick sound a bit sloppy.

Further into the song your percs and bass get lost in the layers and don't come through as clearly as they could.

The break is really nice but I feel that it could have been used to more effect if perhaps you had carried on with that vibe once the beat kicked in.

A nice dark and querky production which as you may know, is something I like to hear.

Cheers

thanks felas ill work on the begining and try and sort out the frequency range to make it more clearer thanks for the feedback...

I'm going to try my best since Trance isn't really my cup of tea:

As mentioned earlier, the hi-hat seems a tad too weak. I like the little panning synth, adds a depressing vibe to it (you should take it our for a while though, it gets a tad bit repetitive)?

Well, to me it does. The synths are a bit dry; you should try to work on that. I'm digging the build-up. At 3:13 (i'm guessing the breakdown?) I like that flute-ish synth... I don't know what is about synths like that, but I really like them.

Good job on bringing back the percussion/energy to the track, that little build-up was very good.

Overall: the energy in the track is superb; the mixing needs work, and beefing up the synths a bit would do good also.

gbye.

thanks for the ideas r.j...will look into it anymore comments

Posted by sterilis on Apr-19-2006 01:44:

sounds like 'love parade' that bass you got.

the panning sound gets quite annoying. i feel like the track is missing something. just read a previous comment and agree with Salegon about the first 2:30 mins.

breakdown has potential just feel the build up let it down. the track picks up after this and gets more listenable.

just the first part as mentioned needs looking at.

Posted by covert23 on Apr-20-2006 12:23:

thanks kane will look at the intro and see what i can do with it ..thanks for the feecback anybody else much apreciated....

nice original percussion.

turn bassline and percs up imo.

synths are a bit too trancy for the overall sound imo. give them some heavy sidechain triggered by the kick to make the sound more groovy..

im a bit too pissed to properly comment on the track..

sounds cool and original from what i can hear and take into my pissed mind..

Posted by DJW!SO on Apr-25-2006 22:34:

good tune i like it:

- you have an original way of putting the beat and the melody together
- the beat is a bit thin i could use more weight.
- the melody is cool, the elements are well put together.
- i'm not sure about the style, it changes quite a lot, but somehow all the elements come together.
- high hats and claps... um... missing something maybe a small delay? and better compression.

okay mate cheers...
