Minimal what..?


Posted by Andrewjoo7 on Dec-03-2009 03:28:

nice bass synth
very deep i like it


Posted by craigb1 on Dec-03-2009 15:07:

Thanks for that andrew, its much appreciated.

parafrnalia, im quite new to this type of music, so the track is quite minimal in terms of whats used in it, but i wouldnt really know then how to catergorize it again, i could leave that for your own opinion!


Posted by TranceLover007 on Dec-03-2009 22:21:

I'm on it right now, not bad at all, I quite like it.

Let me run this few more time, this is tough one.


Posted by TranceLover007 on Dec-03-2009 22:33:

Damn, can�t break this one, it is not easy. So many things I like in this song and still doesn�t feel right. Base melody is awesome (a spatially at 2:55), pad I quite like it and ��.??????. This is the part I�m missing.

That 2:55, I think, if you work around this melody (setup and all instruments) that would be great.

This could be big one, but for me everything should be build around this part from �2:55�.

I would love to hear the final product. Keep working on it, this could be your first big one man.

Trancelover, again, thankyou for your words, your feedback is absolutley brilliant, very in depth and i enjoy reading and putting into practice your methods.

Im going to take a look at this track again, i thought it was completed to be honest, but theres always room for improvement so i will work on it again thsi coming week, and get back to you with my results.

Thanks again

nice stuff! you have some really clear, crisp and great sounds in here. My only problem with the track is that it is a little bland. So many people are using this stabby progressive synth sound now a days, and besides the baseline and percussion (which are both great) you don't have much more going on in the track. If you bring in some movement behind your pad I think you can make this a bit more interesting, but besides that its sounding really good!


Posted by Tomas Klein on Dec-04-2009 18:48:

PS.

You seem to do this near the end.. after the drop and whatnot.. but the middle of the song is long and drawn out, without much going on. Its a great track though! such a clean sounding synth do you mind telling us how you made it?

Thanks for the feedback Tomas

You have a really good point with the middle of the track, i was actually thinking that it may be too long, well... too long without anything different happening. I will however be looking into this and hope to sort it out to keep it more interesting in that part of the track.

The synth sound is pretty much simplistic if i must be honest. I used 2 instances of sylenth. 1 bassy kinda synth which i added a lil more low end to to keep the track moving, sylenth patch (Booka) believe it or not!

And also another synth to add a more sharper high ended sound in "classic trance" so that when i held the release on the two synths, this would bring more power and urgency to that particular part.

Thanks again for listening mate, and to everyone who has currently helped out with great constructive critism.

The critisism is correct, it's too little action in this track. Too long break for just one instrument, even if it's supposed to minimal, and there is no climax part after the break. I like the melody and percussion also, but the kinda boring way it's presented should be changed. Bring more small details, cuz it's the details that count in minmial tracks.

Thankyou Lascodi

Harsh but fair comments and i think everyone of you guys is correct and i cant wait to re configure this tune and get your feedback again on it

Once again thankyou for all the feedback given!

Congrats on the mixdown.
I like this style a lot, wouldnt call it minimal, it's more neotrance, but who cares... cool track.

Like this one, drumloops are very smooth. only the break part is a bit boring. Lead sound is awesome, inth break a miss a low fundament bass. Guess that will add some more depth in that part. Like the idee, but just need some work on some parts.

please guys i need some feedback on my updated mix

anyone?


Posted by Lascodi on Dec-12-2009 18:10:

Find a page I don't have to sign up to get free access to downloads. Because now it says it's working on full capacity, and I can't download anything. I recommend a site where you can stream the track directly, like soundcloud, esnips, myspace, speedyshare (if one have quicktime) or something like that.


Posted by craigb1 on Dec-12-2009 20:09:

thanks for that lascodi, i will bear that in mind for next time.

The link seems to be working fine now


Posted by woscar on Dec-13-2009 04:52:

Can you upload to Soundcloud or something similar? Sendspace always give me the same "Full capacity" bullshit.

sounds nice! i like the track!

Cool Track Dude

This one has sasha written all over it if you ask me. Very cool synth line, the changes in it are great! You should try having some pad chords that go with it, but chords that are more in your face not way back in the mix. Think that would be cool especially when the synth line is filtered down. Not sure if it would work just a thought.

Overall very cool track, would definitely play that out. Also if you could please take a listen to my track as well. (stiggy thread)

Thanks and keep up the good work!
