R.N.M - Lunar Light (Full 320kbps)

Ok...so this track has basically been finished for months, way back in July, but Menno and myself had different ideas about some parts of the track. So we're finally getting round to posting it up!

Compared to our last collab, Stargliding, this one is in quite similar style; uplifting trance, with influences from Active Sight.

By the way, R.N.M is a collab between myself and Nomen Nescio, for those who don't know.

Anyway, here's the link to the file:

Any feedback is great

hello ricky and nomen.

listening..

ricky- your new monitors have really improved your mixing. this sounds very good. kick is very clear and upfront.

pads and rythmic synths work well. and create a very beautiful atmophere.

'baker' style snare is a bit out of place. its a little dry for the rest of what is a very wet sounding track. maybe try makin it sit in the mix a bit.

break - breakbeat is nice. its subtle and refreshing.

im awaiting a really powerful melody..

main section. - reminds me of push's prime days. the bass arrangement is similar to plastic boy in notation. id have liked to hear a more prominant main lead. a searing screaming of emotion..

overall pretty faultless and well put together. and a nice listen

hey guys,

very good track you got here, reminds me a lot to some Active Sight stuffs, indeed

it could have been signed imo!

thanks for the share

Get rid of that Fred Baker snare, it sounds out of the place.
Lovely harmony, I would have liked the main lead to shine a bit more, it disappears behind all of the whooshes and other atmospheric elements.

Good idea, but the mix still needs some work, the way I see it.

Downloading it right now. People seem to like your track. Gonna check it out.

this is sounding nice.

tbh it sounds better than stargliding alot less generic. menno's mastering skills has give it a real good polish.

the problem with the snare is it is too far forward in the mix which makes it feel out of place but given a better position it would work nicely.

very dreamy breakdown. nice synth choice. really nice choice actually.

nice sounds although it didnt leave an lasting impression on me. might due to the fact that the lead isnt very dominant and doesnt take control.

all the same a nice listen!

Thanks guys for the replies so far. We are glad you like most of the things of this track.

Rick has put it quite right in his introduction. He and I disagreed on some of the elements in this track. One of the disagreements was the volume of the main lead which i.m.o is way too low. It should have played a bigger and more prominent part in this track but we could not agree on it. Also I feel the kick is not the my taste.

For the rest I am proud of the track but it could have been better.

Cheers everyone!

Hello to the dutch and irish collective.

Another fine track you've bestowed upon us here.. Everything sounds so professional, crispy and bright.. The kick and bass are solid as.. really smooth sounding intro.

As mentioned those snares really don't sound good.. they just kinda feel like they've been plonked in.. not a fan at all sorry.

You two are really developing that distinct sound together and it's great.. all the awesome triangle/sineish leads that arent to clique with the usually tripe that gets dumped into today's "prog trance".

I'm going to also agree that the lead sound is too soft.. beef it up and take out those annoying snares and you have a winner!

eh... cant wait to hear it!

Sounds pretty generic to me and I have to agree on the offbeat thingy which Fred Baker is using quite often in his tracks, Get rid off it, it really doesn't sound good.

Thanks for the comments so far

Hi Ricky!
Okey, this sounds pro. Really nice and crisp sounds, as mentioned. I like the sweeping pad-FXs throuhgout the buildup. The break is nice, and it is source for the birth of a good melody. However, as the melody plays it gets kinda boring. Clich�? Maybe.. Cuz it's not surprising me at any moment.. Be proud of this track though. It really has the vibe of a big track.

almost everythign has been said bout this track

like that lead melodyline too

oh yeah, there's some kind of synth, mid-bass i think, i think you can add more release to make the low-end sound fatter?? but maybe my speakers are just horrible...

sounds pro, nice and clean! maybe you have time to check out my newest sounds ''outbound'' ? ?

cheers

Posted by Nomen Nescio on Jan-14-2007 21:45:

Thanks Spliph and Alex for the nice comments. The midbass in this track certainly is there although bass of course always is a matter of taste

Keep the coming guys!

Cheers!

nice fx from the start, swooshes do their work well..

kick has a little too much highs..

it sounds a little to snappy for me..

I don't like the snare either.

nice subbass & bubbling bass

you've got a great gated synth going on!

the main lead is should be louder! wat dat betreft heeft menno wel gelijk hehe

the melody is nice though

the snare thats:

|k...|k...|k...|k..S|k...|k...|k...|k..S|

K=kick
.=blanc
S=Snare

doesn't sound right at all.

for the rest its a great track to listen too

Posted by coldblack on Jan-15-2007 08:43:

I just d/ld and heard this track.
I can say, its good in the sense that the melodies and the synths sit well. It us very uplifting, and like someone said, very pro.

Posted by Subtle on Jan-15-2007 22:18:

Listening:

Nice kickdrum, (lets crank this one up) Nice clap.. sounds like a real energy bomb, aahh.. bass.. me like very much.. 01:40 nice chanting synths and bass-change. Snare rolls and transitions are spot on. whats up with the Fred Baker snare ? well.. since its not on every 2nd kick it works very well.

Breakdown:

Nice filtered breakbeat.. creates an interesting start of the breakdown.. the energy is still very good and im an entertained listener.. the melody is very nice, and doesnt contain the notes that i personally dislike, which is rare for this kinda track.

Overall:

Very nice track, i wasnt bored at any part.. and all the elements works very well together, and the melody is nice as well. Im not overly impressed by the thin high pitchy synths you use here, but overall vert good work lads.
