TOTAs: help me out :D

as you guys may or may not know, I've gotten into producing a bit of trance over the last year. Only the last month or so have I been making decent stuff, and I am hoping to release some stuff now that I've got some more free time than usual.

LeMay - Elixir (Exclusive TOTA Sample)
Right Click > Save As
its in ogg format

I got started on this track yesterday, and just finished up another 2 hours of work. Probably the nicest track I've created, and now I'm looking for feedback

Please be honest, and let me know what you think of this sample. I can take criticism as long as its constructive.

I would post in the production forums, but its hard to get feedback there.

ok I listened to it a couple times...I think it's a very good sample. It has many of the elements that make a good trance track. My advice (just advice get a couple more opinions before you do this maybe), the main riff that comes in at like 6 seconds, I think it should exit at about 54 seconds, and not re-enter till the buildup at around 2:17 again. It get a little repetative how that riff is structed right now.

Still it's better than anything I've produced I've been fooling around with fruity for a couple weeks, I use samples though, which I kinda wanna stop doing, but anyways awseme track! I really like the brakedown & buildup!

okay cool, I'll try some of your ideas.

that crystal/digital riff you are referring to is the latest addition to the track, so I haven't experimented with it a whole lot. I love the way it sounds with the lead synth during the chorus... but not as much during the intro.

the main riff sounds too acidic for the track, i think it should be softer. as it repeats, it dominates your melody a bit. other than that, it's structured pretty well.

I've also made a track from e-jay, there are only a select amount of samples. I'll see if i can host it, I deleted another one that i had made, which i thought was pretty good.

MOSAIC: I'm gonna check out the sample when I get home from work - what is OGG? I'm not familiar...is that the proggie you used to create the tune?

HanSolo and I have ben doin some producing in REASON, and we've turned out some good shit. Have you tried Reason?


Posted by SAGE2635 on Feb-15-2003 01:36:

Mosiac you should use a different sound for the riff or atleast cut down the high frequencies. It gets annoying after a while. Besides that, everything sounds good for a sample...can't wait to hear the completed track. what sequencer do you use by the way??

Ogg is the compression format he used. Just like most people use Mp3 compression. winamp should have no problems playing it...

and post up the tune you and HanSolo have been working on, i wanna hear it


Posted by Matt on Feb-15-2003 03:57:

k guys, thanks a lot for your comments.

I liked the riff at first, but now I find its getting annoying... and it doesn't quite fit in with the melody or anything.

I'll make some changes...
and btw, I just finished some editing of the build-up... and its so intense now

oh, and maybe we should work together on a Viva theme or something?

If this ever happens, there definitely needs to be some bamboo flute and chin chin mixed in for the melody.
