*updated* Richard Gale - TONEWASHED! 2007 rehash - (uplifting epic trance)
yo guys.
at last here it is! Tonewashed as i originally intended it to be.
i have spent the last few days rehashing my trancer that i started exactly a year ago. the original was quite popular here on TA. it was rmxed by some familiar faces 'speactra' and 'nortek' and at last my 'original mix' is sounding how i intended all those months ago.
for me this is exactly what the term 'trance' means. i ve poured a lot of emotion into it.
no real mixing has been done yet. and i quickly 'maximised' this render so it hits the high levels - so it may clip here and there.
once complete it will see a release on my own 101 recordings' label. along with the awsome speactra and nortek remakes.
improved smaple 128k:-

id love some pointers as to how i can improve the arrangement/mix/overall sound.
enjoy

Oh yeas, this is trance! It gives me the same feelings as I get when I listen to Purple Hazes - Adrenaline, which is one of my favorites! Awesome! 
Takere!

hey rich this is sounding good ....i wouldnt change it too much...stick with what you got its a winner...nice track...keep it up mate...all the best...michael....
Hey Rich!
This is very intresting to listen to. How you managed to beef it up with a year of skills 
Same big old bassline, love it! I couldnt replace it in my remix, so i used the same great bassline.
I got a big smile when I first heard your break at 1 min, it's a so powerful start for the track, just "booom" and then that great tonewashed sound 
I can hear this new synthline at the background, I wish it was there when I made the remix, it adds alot to the track, sounds wonderful and it really fits!
Breakdown is really dreamy, sounds great this time too
Track keeps on going just as it should
I can hear some new drums too, still subtle and it is perfect for this track
But i noticed that you have deleted some of the old drumwork wich i miss, i even used some of them in my remix. I think it's the fx on the drums you have deleted. imo they need to be there. I think you should sneak them in again
It's very hard for me too find anything to complain about because I have a predilection for it! Loved it a year ago, and I love it even more now Greeaat track!!
I'll beef up my remix for the release, cant wait!

cheers guys
alex - im on it!
Hey Richie
I liked the bassline in this, though I found it tended to get drowned a little by the low pad.
Sounded quite push like to me, nice atmosphere, but perhaps a bit empty sounding overall for my tastes.
thanks guys.
i have been working more on it.
the new link is on the first post.
ricky:- im gonna be sorting the bass today
Great sound, very M.I.K.E-ish indeed.
The harmony isn't very M.I.K.E. though 
I was expecting a new lead after the breakdown, the track doesn't seem to go anywhere at the moment. Lots of potential, but not enough variation, as Ricky pointed out.
Some additional (sharp) hi hats could increase the drive for a start. I'd write a complete melody to fill up the section after the breakdown as well.
ahhh finally!
reviewing on the listen!
very nice intro!! love the kick and the bass
nice gated melody, great pads!
this got me "bangin" my head in a subtle way haha
1:13 sweet break, nice how you bring attention to the low synths.
1:30 ahh filtering in that nice melody sweeet
*with that subtle breakbeat track sounds as sweet as a puppy haha*
ah, you almost got me there with your first kicks in..
nice breakdown !!
(very good snare sample youve got there btw!!)
(K_H_K_H_K_H_K___) works great !!
nice filterout of your lead.
awesome piece of work mate!!!!!
(srry to reply so late.. school eh)
Hey Rich,
Easily your best work up to this date. The melodic parts are good as always. The atmosphere is usually great in your tracks.
What you have improved on a lot is the beat. Kick is thumping in this track, the percs are a lot better. Still no open hi hat but hey
The main synth could be placed a bit less obvious in the mix, it is a tad too loud and a tad to dry. Other than that, no comments on this. Lovely track!
cheers everyone.
im tweeking as we speak

hey rich
i really like the melodies in this track and the flow of it. im been listening to it over the past few days and its one i can listen to over and over again. as menno said your best to date.
I also agree on more percussion bring needed just to give the track that extra drive and sparkle.
probably adding a melody over the main lead with give the track more dimension.
but i did enjoy it.
keep it up!
the music that is 
cheers for the nice review barry
Hi Rich,
Had a listen to the track.. Overall I felt it was a good start but to be honest it lacked the fullness that sets apart a pro track from say an amateur track. I think if you sat down and added a few more layers, particularly some thicker pads to add depth then that would make the track alot more solid.. + the extra percussion will go along way too.
Good luck.

It's My Turn M8

Overall is good
Greetzzz.....

Hey there Rich,
Nice going, was a track I liked the first time round but this has definately been a worth while project.
In my own warped opinion though, I can't help but feel that it could also do with a catchy main hook. Probably just me though.
I would still play this out though.
Cheers

yo dude... I'll be picky and give you a couple things to think about.. =)
1 - super picky but the the clap isn't hitting perfectly with the kick...maybe edit the attack of the clap so it hits a tad bit sooner...its givin a bit of a swing but in the wrong way. Its very close hehe.....could be a timing issue or just the sample....maybe you want it like that though
2 - Im not down with the part where the kick hits 4 times then stops...then hits 4 times and stops... maybe replace those kicks with 'explsion type kicks'...would have more impact...i dont like when people use just a plain kick to build up excitment...cuz they sound weak...Not sure if im making myself clear hehe
3 - Since it is a bit repetive (nothing wrong with that) add another melody....make the second melody come in halfway to the end after the break....then the energy keeps building...
its a good tune - sounds exactly like mike...that kinda mellow feel
word to a mutha

yes sounds exactly to me.........the same exact overall feeling
True, you do have that Mike sound about you. Makes me wish that you would have a shot at an Urban Shakedown style track, M.I.K.E.'s finest hour if you ask me... that and Strangeworld 2000, at least in my opinon.
Cheers
