I think I have improved

Hi everybody

First of all I'd like to wish you a Merry Christmas. It's being quite
boring for me but I must confess I dislike Christmas time.Anyway, I
have taken the chance to make a new trance track.

For once in my life I'm glad with it cos I think I have achieved to
make a punchy kick and improved the eq. Anyway, I'm really interested
in getting your opinion; my music isn't perfect at all, hehe.

The new track is called On The Other Side and it's available in these
both links:

http://www.soundclick.com/irisdj
http://www.myspace.com/httpwwwmyspacecomirisdeejay

I'll be wishing to read your critics, no matter if they are good or
bad, just say what you think!

Many thanks for your listening and Merry Christmas again!

I think this is great! Good job

Merry Christmas

Quite a nice track you got there.. The percs are all fine, the bass sits well in the mix, maybe a tad too low.. That bleepy synth is really nice.. I also like that break.. Maybe if you try to put a hint of the main theme in the break it would build a little better towards the climax.. Melody is not bad either, synth is all good aswell.

Overall a very nice track.. Keep them coming..

Thanks a lot for your comment, Lokh�n. Yes, there are some details that you and me think they may improve the tune. I'll write them down for my next track.

Thanks again and Merry Christmas, Lokh�n!

Nice track.

Perhaps the lead in synth part needs either a bit of variation or to be a little shorter. The sound is a little too harsh perhaps to have repeated for so long so you might want to drop the 2khz range (Might just be me).

Nice use of pads.

Personally I'm not a fan of how you introduce the main melody but the patch you used for it fits nicely with the track.

Definately a sign that you are getting to where you want to be .

Probably the thing that would put me off playing a track like this is that perhaps the melody over all is not something that jumps out and grabs you.

I also checked out some of your other tracks and I think that Ebony Angel is my favourite.
Wouldn't mind having a stab a remixing that if you are interested.

Cheers

Thanks a lot for giving me your point of view, Nemesis44. Probably this track is too commercial so I think maybe some parts are very usual and, for example, the main melody makes you think you have heard it 2 thousand of times.
I'll send you my remix of Ebony Angel via private message in myspace this evening. It will be a honour.

Many thanks again for your opinion

Nice tune!

As Lokh�n sad:

"Maybe if you try to put a hint of the main theme in the break it would build a little better towards the climax.."

I wonder if you could send me the fullversion of "From My Heart"?
I really loved that tune!

Cheers

Many thanks for your comment, in_dreams! Don't worry, I'll send you From My Heart this evening. It will be a pleasure.

Thanks a lot again and Happy New Year!

hi iris!

it sounds okay, but the only thing i can report as a little thing that is bad, is the synth that comes in at 3:30.. it comes in too sudden.. maybe you could give it a little intro or something.. but it could just be me

thats the only thing i can hear..

btw, good job!

Hi DJAnbech!
Many thanks for your comment! The reason why of this quick sudden is I usually make a long intro with some cut parts of the main melody in my tracks. This time I was very tired of using this kind of "structure" so I decided to change the usual method and, probably, I didn't make it totally right.

Sometimes I try to make something original with my tracks and the only thing I get is to make them worse. Thanks a lot for telling me it; it's a really important detail.

Many many hugs and Happy New Year!!

hey!

listening
- Nice bassline
- Bit of a standard melody, little new there
- awesome start to the break
- some reverb on your snare is a little too long and sounds weird on top of the rest
- that second lead realy brings the track to life. Untill then i wasn't as impressed but now i am.
- you could work a little more on percs to give a little more drive

other than that, just great

Merry Christmas

Thanks a lot for your closely listening, nhibberd. Yes, I must recognize my style isn't original at all. I should try new sounds and structures and, of course, improve some things.

Many thanks again and Happy New Year!

Dude, or dudette I mean

You gotta stop beating yourself up over originality, your track is fine in that respect. Besides it comes with time as you develop your own style. Write for the joy of writing and you will find yourself sitting there one day thinging Jesus, did I just make that?

Cheers
Nem

PS
I got the track so thanks for that and will get around to remixing that. Also spoke to the original maker to get his input and he was cool too.

great track overall.

Do you know what usually happens to me? Sometimes I listen to my really old songs; those tracks I made in 1999, when I started producing and I tell myself: "Oh, my god, Iris, this is a shit! There are no eq, no compressors, no delays, no reverbs...and look at all those notes! This was a horrible work, girl! You've improve a lot", hehehe.
Anyway, many thanks for your advise. It's really usefull

Supongo que lo que quieres decir es que no te gusta la melod�a principal. Reconozco que es muy comercial y que a los m�s adictos al trance puede no gustarles.

Con todo, much�simas gracias por el comentario, HarryMoore. Hablas muy bien espa�ol.

I suppose what you want to mean is you dislike the main melody. I must confess it's too comercial and maybe the most trance addicts dislike it because of this.

Anyway, thanks a lot for giving me your opinion, HarryMoore. You speak Spanish very well.

Happy New Year!
