SJL - Transcending (take a listen)

Hi guys, this is my track transcending. Please take a listen and comment if you like.

Good job on your song. Great beginning, great buildup on the melody. I like how in the middle the synthesizer really begins to pile up the arpeggiation. I really like the subtle instruments in the background too, those electric piano notes in the background.

Not bad, not bad ... It's a bit light and euro-dancey for my tastes (unless I'm just not listening to it loud enough atm, housemate is asleep!) but it's well made, you can tell you've put a lot of effort into all the layers. As it stands though, it doesn't really stand up to today's driving trance which I personally tend to prefer, but if you're not going for that style then stick to your guns!

Thanks for taking the time to listen guys, appreciate your comments. Glad you liked it, particularly you Ashdrey

Fair comment about it not standing up to today's trance Novastorm, its definitely a track inspired by the trance tunes of yesteryear!

Cheers guys.

Id be interested to see what it is you have in mind, just to see if its in the background and something you heard subliminally, or if its something if its something that could add to it.

wow this is a pretty sweet song i like the intro, the beat is supersolid, the lead is excellent you must have put a lot of time into this. The only suggestion i guess i could really have is to maybe change your synth sounds a little but -- while the notes are placed well yo may benefit from using some more interesting synth sounds. But then again they do sound good. nice work.

Track is good, production is good, levels, arrangement etc all good. For me it lacks that killer lead or melody that makes it stand out (same thing somebody said about my track actually).

I think the lead sound needs a bit more movement on effects e.g. filter, flanger etc. Some some sort of envelope to make it more insteresting.
