Awesome Jon Thnx so much for the shares on this ones. Looking forward to hear them, Will give you review later on Msn Buddy

summer memories is the best of them overall sounding. i woukd concentrate on it first. solid sound and oldschool lead with the choirpads sounds very good. love it.

in Heaven's Open i think the kick is too weak after the break. but before it sounds great. maybe u add some more deep / atmosphere to it too to make it more complex and intersting.

the beginning of cloudchaser is a bit boring, but the climax of the break is awesome, really like it. u should make the beginning more intersting. maybe u add your "a blue'ish guitar melodie" in the break, this could really kick ass
but when all play together later it sounds good

Starchaser:
Nice bass.
Cool arp at the begining.
The pads are nice.
The break comes... No variation at all.
It's getting kinda boring.
Cool second pad.
I think I hear the main lead.
The track is really busy with plucked synths so I can't tell the difference.
The melody is ok.
You realy lack precussions.

Nothing groundbreaking or interesting.
4/10.

Heaven's Open:
Nice plucked melody.
Nothing interesting goes on on the buildup.
This one has a better melody.
The break is really long.
4/10

Summer Memories:
This is better. The bass is much more driving here.
But I hear the same precussion line.
Well you used the same sounds again. Work on your programming a bit more.
Nice melody.
Oh I knew that a piano is coming. Not half bad.
But the riff should be much longer. Add chords, don't just use single notes.
The lead melody is basically the same as the buildup riff.
Oh that saw isn't that bad.
6/10

Sorry I really didn't enjoy listening to this.
It's not interesting enough.

OVER ANALYSIS ^^^


Anyway, I really should check out some of your previous stuff, I love all three of these, brilliant uplifting stuff, just what I like!

thanks for the feedback guys

hi mate,

really nice new uplifting tracks from you, my favourite is definitely Summer Memories out of these three tracks, but i don't think you will have problems to sign all of them to some nice labels, if that's your plan

i wish you good luck with them

Hi, Cloudchaser is a nice track i like the chord progression its different which makes it stand out. I liked heavens open the most, the build up is good in the break. Summer memories is alright, these 3 tracks are different to your other stuff which is a good thing as its showing a different type of sound form you, they have a happy sound to them. I much prefered some of your other stuf but thats just my preference not saying these arent good solid tracks. The production is good, and you could get these signed, they are nice melodic tunes. If this is the type of sound you are going for thats cool, but you could spice the tracks up to give them a bit more groove maybe add another synth or melody in the backgroud. Thanks for sharing mate.

i think you really should explore new sounds dude....its all too generic imo

thanks for the nice feedback

Good productions, all three of them. Nothing more, nothing less.

I think these are really good, but as people have said theirs nothing that really breaks the mould or breaks them apart from each other, maybe a vocal would help?

*edit* Scrap that, Cloudchaser is a monster! Had it on high volume just now and it gave me gooseys

I think these three tracks are great, Static Blue keeps true to his style.

I read some comments here about "using the same percussions" and things sounding the same. Well, what big artists doesn't do that? It's a smart thing to use the same sounds so that when you hear a track you know who made it. I do this myself.

Anyways, off to the tracks:
Cloudchaser: I'm liking the drive in this, love it when the strings are subtly introduced at 1:24, makes a nice feel
The break is very uplifting, love that reverby electric guitar you have. Nice stuff

Summer Memories: I think this one is the best of the bunch, it has a very nice drive and I love the choirs in it. Very uplifting.

Heaven's Open, also very nice. Great feeling at 2:50

Well done mate

Perhaps you should take your own advice....

Anyway about the tracks, I like Summer Memories the most, sounds very like a Gouryella track, great bassline too.
Cloud chaser was also very nice too, though I prefer Summer Memories too it.
The other one was just ok i think, nothing special.

About the tracks being 'generic', fair enough they are nothing ground breaking, but why do people talk as if every song should rewrite the rules? IMO Mr Static should continue to make music the way he likes it, and not change things around just because some gonk says it is 'generic'.

Hey Jon, haven't talked with you in a while, listening to these tracks, just gonna give you the negative crits:

It sounds like the kick is too powerful in all of these songs, if i'm not mistaken. Its much louder than the bassline. the kick in summer memories kind of drowns out the lead. the production is fairly solid, percs are strong, the acid synth in cloud chaser is real nice. In all of these songs, i'm not liking the melodies, they're far too uplifting. Cloud Chaser sounds like it was written in major. I dunno, i'm not too big on super uplifting anymore, everything starts sounding similar.

I'm not going to lie, though, they are sort of generic but they're done well regardless. I'm not sure if big labels are into signing this sort of trance anymore. All the best, man.

Actually a lot swith them up. Many keep similar sounding kicks in their productions but the rest is different. Take airbase (parc) or alucard for example. Even TA's mike foyle switches it up a lot.

Exactly. Having a distinct style doesn't mean one would have to use the same sounds every time.

Hi Jon! Sup m8.

Comments that the tracks sound a bit generic and the same are understandable. Tho it's a good thing to get routine in making tracks which sound solid. Just pick the best, make the most out of it and gamble on that one and send out.

Lead on Heaven's Open is really thin and high-ish in the spectrum, needs more body and they should leave more room for the hats imo too.
Melody does me nada.

Cloud chaser's lead guitar with slow attack is original.. but sounds like a crying cat. I'd do something to it, phase it or so, something to make it more solid. Melody is better in this one, and i like the arp in it.

Summer Memories is the most generic of them. Melody is "yawnage carnage".

I'm sure there's people still into uplifting and stuff, so i hope uplifting sells good enough to get these a nice label. I'd seriously consider some fresh air into this room though. But quality is just fine, some level or eq issues here and there but nothing big, thumbs up for that.

thanks for your input everyone. It's also good to receive some honest negative feedback sometimes, it reminds me I still have a long way to go.

Some parts of those 3 tracks sound similar, I agree. Maybe they are even too similar when compared to each other, and I'm glad you noticed it That's something I can concentrate on while finishing the tracks.

I would just like to point something out : this is the style of music that I truly enjoy making. I understand that some of you find it too generic but as opposed to the comments saying I use the same sounds too much (which is a good point), comments like "your sound is generic" aren't helping me

sounds very mature mate, good work!

The tracks sound fine to me man, most generally the guys who comment on a track sounding generic are jealous that other people might get successful off an already successful formula, because they spend 50 hours a day trying to evolutionize the scene by writing 50 original pieces of shit.

Good day.

I also can't understand, what is the problem with generic trance at all?
