a [Techtrance-Tool] John Miller - Dessert storm (Original Mix)

really rather a tool then a track.
i was experimenting with my new battery2 and an automated lfo.

a straight forward tune with some oriental vocals. sounds (again) like a mixture of fred baker, push & ron van den beuken.

feedback would be nice!

Cool beggining, very energetic, the kick is clipping.....the voice that comes in sounds really cool, but still kind of raw. It needs additional mixing.
The break is kind of unusual, not really connected to the intro. The silence in between doesn't suit it. The rest of sounds come in and seems like they're all thrown in together for en effect not for a musical reason.
Drum work is not bad but clipping.

Hey,

nice beat. Liking the drive of the percussion.
Gated Vocals are cool.
Mastering seems alright except there is some clipping. Maybe go a little easier on the levels.
Overall, you got some great, full sounds in there. I am liking it quite a lot, although this is not my style.

All I can say now is: well done, just some minor mastering issues left. Keep it up!

thanks for listening!
i'm actually thinking about sending this track to spinnin rec. NL.

what do you people think?

Excellent pad at the beginning, hats, and a medium-to-strong kick.

The percussion after the bassline kicks in is techy indeed.

The vocals, however, I'm a tad confused at first.

Then the techno-hit-synth came into play, and I'm really feeling the energy and vibe right about now.

The saw-pad gave this a more conventional feel. As a matter of fact, this track feels alot more like uplifting trance with techno elements chucked in at random.

The rest of the track is pretty much one in the same. Hear it again with some minor twists on the effects and such. Not really my cup of tea, but you are getting close.

I really need to get a proper expectation of what tech-trance is suppost to be. This is like the fourth time that the definition of tech-trance has elluded me. I no longer know what to expect from a track with the name "tech" in front of it.

Sounds good! Percussion is cool and at the right place. Though I dont really like the bassline you should have made it more dark. The vocal is very cool, fits perfect. The break sounds a bit too simple rather had heard some more stuff there. Used any hardware for this production?
Overall nice tune, good job.

i like this. the bass fits well but would prefer it if it were.. erm, bassier

that and it's rendered a bit too loud as a whole

pretty decent though

thanks again for all your feedback!

@sevenseas: no hardware involved, everything done with vst plugins.

Kick is nice and heavy. I like it.

That vocal edit is very nice.

I'd like to take a moment to comment on how amusing I find your title.

I've gotta say the melody at 2:00 is kind of offputting. I think it's more jus the straighness of it. It just sticks to the quarter notes. It'd be nice to hear some syncopation there.

Good track. Very banging and powerful.
