[Progressive] Mark Elgan - Above [160kbps, sample]

Hello everbody,

I am kinda new here, but I've been producing for almost 8 years now. I have known about this forum for a long time and it really helped me a lot during my "evolution" so i decided to join and ask for&give opinions about our music...

Here is the 160kbps samle!

--> Mark Elgan - "Above" (STREAM) (DOWNLOAD) <- new improved version!

Reviews and critics plus your opinion if i could try sending it to labels are more than welcome!

Thank you & see you around guys & girls

UPDATE: Had to remove the 320kbps version since lables are interested in this track

ducking for the win
sounds good, but the bell is waaaaay to loud, or what it is, you probably know what I mean, sometimes it completly drowns everything else, but other then that it sounds good

Thanks for the comment..I'll give those bells another look...on my speakers it seems fine..

hey Mark,

pretty good track you got here, i really like the sidechained bassline, but i have to agree with the guy, who mentioned that the bells are too loud in the track compared to the rest of the elements, you got a nice dark atmosphere in the track, though, i think you could add a simple submelody to the track, but it's just an idea.

good work mate

Thank you Mycron for your review and critics. I corrected the problem with the bells being too loud so I think everything should be fine and nice to listen now!

Anyone else with comments?

Hey Mark!

It was a long time ago since I last saw you around I think it was on bittrance a year ago.. I remember your great remix of Bt's - Remember
I actually included it in a mix i did earlier this year, you'll find it on my website.

Well, about this track, alot of sidechaining here
I think the kick is missing some low end.
Lovely clear pad in the break
I like your percussions, but maybe the open hihat needs some eq'ing on the highest frequencies...
I concur with >>FK that your bell is abit too loud sometimes.

Good melodies, but I miss something like a big main hook, with a great melody, the current ones is kinda "small". I would like to hear one that reaches over 2 octaves... Thats just me tho

Great work though, you're really good and i'm seing forward to your next track

Keep it up!

agreed with the feedback so far, i'm not that fond of the compression, a little is great but this goes a bit too far for me. regardless its great listening music, just in the background it works great.

Speactra: Heey Alexander, nice to see you again! Yeah I had this situaion and was unable to produce and visit these forums often..but now I am back Is Bittrance still alive?? Well I am very glad to hear that you liked my remix and will certainly give it a listen since it is always nice to hear your track in a mix

Speactra, iloop: Yeah I know this track has a lot of sidechaining - it is supposed to have it but maybe it is a little too much i agree! I spent quite some time on this track and i think I'll leave it like it is for now..maybe some day I'll improve it...I just have so many ideas that I want to produce something new all the time

Thanks for the comments and see you around guys!
