sounds pro! nice track

like the song, mix lacks a bit low end and sounds a bit boxed/phased, what did u use on the masterbus? seems to be some phased widening
also a bit too much compression overall, track seems to loose energy at the end of breaks, which doesn't need to be.

Overall very nice arrangement and good sounds, but the mix itself lacks the vibe abit.

yeah, i used a phaser on the master
thought that would be some nice fx, but it was hard to get it right. Im happy with the result though.

thx for the comments everybody

Really nice track

I like your bass line and as the other say, your arrangement is nice too.
Your kick has too much "click" and too little "umpf" for my taste, I would put some more punch in it. Same goes for that synth that appears at 4:30, I think it needs more mid range/high bass, it's too "thin" IMO.
Also you have some unpleasant highs showing at 2:30-3:20, I would put a high-cut on whatever it is that are making those very high noises.

Thats the things I noted, while listening to your otherwise great track

Very nice Muller. How long have you been producing for?

Posted by Muller on May-17-2011 10:00:

thx for the great comments
yeah, i also think the kick could be better. I think the other track on my soundcloud page (Seasons) has a better kick.
The pads in the break indeed are a little anoying maybe.. could filter those high frequencies out very simply thanx for noticing

Well, I don't really know how long I've been busy with producing. I think i was 13 when i 'started'. I'm 17 now . I also make House, Hardtrance, Hardstyle and even Hardcore. Also i make progressive rock / trance with a friend if mine who plays guitar. It's just that i want to try much different styles.

Ohw, and btw, i've already signed with labels for a few genres, haha. I'm proud of that !

greets!

Hey Muller, quite a nice openess here. A few pointers - the clap is thin and brittle sounding and the way the offset bass is played is a little dated. I know a good ole offset bass can work in a modern context but to get away with it you need a little more imagination and self stamp on it so it becomes sort of cooler and more your own.

Seems like your headed in the right direction, cheers for the sounds.

i like it also what is the piano plugin your using?

also i agree with the previous guy, maybe add a delay or something to the bass or place it on beat, seemed to come in abruptly.

Very nice track, well done.

I have to agree with Wega52 here.

I'm not generally a huge fan of the old school bass, though that's just me perhaps. It feels like in a track like this, the bassline should be a much more driving force.

Can't comment on the mixing I'm afraid, not listening on great phones atm. The rush did sound a little empty around the mid range on these, but like I say, can't tell for sure.

Cheers,
Alex
