Not BAd!
Can i use it in a mix set?

I really like the melodies in the intro. The rhythm for the lead is kind of plain and I didn't think it was as interesting. I liked it up to the main part. The mix sounds good.

cheers beatflux for your input.

Well on your way, thinks just need to controlled a bit more with eq in my opinion. But i have to say keep it and soon you'll be doing awesome. Throw me a PM if you need any specific help.

cheers Stef much appreciated.

i've sent you a Pm

nice one

cheers EgoX

i like it .. its got good ideas.

i really love the start too and all the building up however
my main criticism would be that after the main break down when its building up to drop back into the main melody its build up is strong but could be stronger and i feel that when it actually does break in it doesnt do the breakdown justice IMO.

thats the main thing about it really. i do really like the intro though!

You definitely have your stuff going in the right way, keep it that way and you'll be doing top tunes in a year

A few things I've noticed;

That guitar you have in before the main break IS BEAUTIFUL, it's a shame you didn't use it in the chorus instead of that paddish lead, which doesn't fit the track at all, groove before the break is much better than after it, you complicated things a bit too much trying to achieve a full sound, but you'll soon learn to control tracks better, since you're almost there from what I hear here

The pluck in the break sounds great with the really low cutoff with which you introduce it, when you start opening the cutoff it starts losing it's awesomeness, in these cases it's better to layer the pluck with another sound, which you then use to make drama with its cutoff.

The main 'bang' of the track is missing some power; though you have your arrangement right, it's a sound issue, you're having a pletora of different sounds there, and in order to work together they're probably heavily eq'd down, so none really get to stand out. It was the 'oldschool' way uplift was done till 2k6 or so, but nowadays even for uplift it's better to concentrate on a few select sounds and perfect them, so they fill the sound picture mostly on their own, and make the "wow, that arp is amazing!" effect, let's say, instead of having arp, 2 back synths, pluck back lead and a lead on top of the bass.
It's the 'newschool' though, just some food for thought, if you love the style absolutely stick with it, just try to perfect the way sound fill your sound spectre better, so you don't need to have 1454234 of them and neither really stand out and give a 'signature' to the track

Really though, having that guitar post-break too would be awesome!

The sonic landscape you have in the intro is getting close to professional, but the drive is not quite there - been struggling with this myself, it's damned elusive. Something maybe in the weight of the kick, not sure.

After the intro, the track does'nt quite keep up the standard.

The break synths don't quite sit and fill the space - sound slightly bare. Maybe something about the verbs not quite sitting and glued in, perhaps the verbs are a dad roomy or short or somthing.

The pad lead in the chorus is very loud and drowns out the drive a lot.

Your open hat is slightly dated, as it's that which is very common in past trance.

I like the rolling bass sound - is that from Sylenth?

I like the pluck sound in the intro too, that's pretty much nailed.

It is a solid track. Very trancey. There are enough elements, but I'd personally like to hear those elements do more. I hate to call it a cookie cutter trance track, but it somewhat comes off that way. It doesn't jump out at me. It sounds like the last two pages worth of Trance I have listened to at Beatport (hopefully I can find at least one track tonight worth buing), which could be viewed as a good thing or bad thing. Just my .02 cents.

I agree with this.

Nevertheless keep up the good work
