Newcomer.

Hi guys. Let me introduce myself. My name is George. I�m 32 and I live in sweden. I�ve always loved trance. My passion in this world.
I�ve been producing my own tracks for some time now but haven�t really found my own sound yet. But recently I just had an epiphiny about how I would like my tracks to sound. Well this is one of my tracks I�ve been working on. Not a full track and deffo not finished at all.. But I would love it if I could get some feedback from you guys.

Be totally honest with me. If you like the sound please let me know. If you don�t like it, please let me know. Always good with honest feedbacks.

George,

Your work has potential. I am a upper level beginner as well but one thing I have learned is that subtle things (to people who casually listen to or make electronic music) make all the difference in producing electronic music. For the most part, the melody that you made is fine. In fact, it is very pretty.

But things such as compression, instrument and sample selection, EQ'ing, the placement of each instrument in the sound space and pitch space and mixing are what take the song you made from a random youtube video to being banged out live at a Markus Schulz set.

It's hard and unfortunatly, you have to figure out much of it on your own. I have found coming up with the melodies takes about 5% of the time in making a song. Fitting everything together and making it sound current and big takes 95% of the time.

One other thing is that the style of trance you produced is not as big as it once was. Most begginers make that style even though it hasn't really been played much in 5-6 years. A few artists like Aly and Fila and Sean Tyas play songs similar in style but they are still more current, bigger and more driving sounding.

I do think you have potential, don't give up, but there is still a ways to go.

Heya =)

Trancelover, thank you for your honest words. You are right. Creation of the melody isn�t the hard part. The hard part is putting it together so that the sounds melt in together and mixing and trixing. And I do have a long way to go still but I�m getting there.

On the part where this type of music isn�t played as much as it used to be I know that. But still, as I�m doing this I�m working with my passion.. The uplifting trance. There are channels on youtube that still focus on that type of music. I�m loving every second of producing and I hope to have a channel with lots of tracks in the near future.. For the ones that still love this music. I�m no Pervading Call (aka - Ace Da Brain) I know that. That dude�s got skills that are beyond humanity.

Btw.. I�m going to see Aly n Fila and Shane 54 and Zatox 8th of December on Mondaybar Cruize.. Wohoo =) Some of my favorite artist.

Once again.. Thank you for your kind words.
I�ll update my channel from time to time. Drop by if you like.. Don�t be shy.. =)
