How's the Mix and Synthesis in my track (sample incl.)

Hi,
Been a long time since I've last posted anything.. But lately I was really curious with how my mix is and since every production I hear lately sounds different from another, I'm not sure where I stand and I wonder if:
My mix is good
My sounds are up to date (the ones heard today on most high Q productions).

It's a small sample but it's the pick of the intro (what I got so far) - [[ LINK REMOVED ]]

Thanks for the help,
Barak.

Too be honest i can't stand any of the trance that's out and about anymore but i certainly couldn't hear anything wrong with that.. Good stuff!

I won't comment that much on the mix itself (I've got a cold. My ears are practically low-pass filtered!), other than it sounds really good and clean.
The bassline is sick!
Personally I like the sounds you used, but the supersaw is a little outdated by todays standards.
I use supersaws myself, I think they sound good when used right.

i agree, sounds pretty decent...the supersaw may be a bit dated though. its not 99 anymore otherwise its solid.

i have the same problem with this song that i do with 90% new age trance: no fat bass. the kick takes up like all of the low end.

mix sounds tight alough it does sound like alot of digital releases that get hammered out these days!

im more for the tech trance like marcel woods, s.v.d, marco v

I got something I made because of S.V.D... It's cool and all but the kick is lame and it lacks some atmosphere... I can upload it if you want.

Do post, I like the more techy stuff =D

Good mix, as far as I can tell. I like the effects in the background.

Back again...! hehe.
Well, here it is: - [[ LINK REMOVED ]]

A bit info about it... I consider it finished though I want to change the Kick to something round and punchier and the bass to something fatter...
It's basicly my first tech production so go easy on me. But I think it's kinda good, except the lack of atmosphere...

Enjoy!

all sounds pretty tight!!

your wright about the kick needing more punch and a fatter driving bassline would be the job!!

very good....

I like this.

I say stay with what you think sounds good and dont try following the fad of current waveforms for synths. I love the sound of that saw, brings me back...wayyyy back.

About the first sample you mean?

Posted by jupiterone on Feb-19-2007 20:13:

Yes first

Thanks bro!

More reviews on both parts are always welcome.

Hey 3rd Signal...

The first sample (Replica) is pretty cool...it has a lot of potential, especially the bassline as mentioned before, but its missing some stuff, perhaps a background melody or just a tease of a few notes of trancy instruments in the back to keep things pumped up (a pad might do as well), up to u...but whatever is there as of now is really good and has no problems IMO The second sample (Tech This) is cool too, except for the kicks that u already mentioned...Overall good skills...keep it up!

Thanks a lot mate.
Took all the comments and if I continue working on those parts I will sure put them into use.

Many thanks,
Barak.

Bingo... some good tech trance samples.

I like the intro... it's got alot of strong potential. However, I can see why you are fussing about the kick -- it's good, but I think that this guy is just trying to make it perfect. Give that kick some OOMJPH and finish this baby!

Cheers.
