hi guys this is the latest track i've put together, its not completely finished thou, i'm not 100% happy with it think some synths and percussion need some tweaking. its a full on hi energy bass focused trancer, tried some tricks with a bit of acid which might make track sound muddy at climax with i think it adds alot of power and energy hence the the name hehe.
anyways tell me what yous think of the track and whether it has any potential
I dont like the cymbals in the beginning, dont like the first.. ehm.. kinda lead thingy.. bass is very mudded,, and that lead "thingy" doesnt sound very well at all.. the drive is good though.. some cool leads in the middle.. but there are too many sounds going on for me to enjoy it.. breakdown is kinda cool, this track has some potential..but remove the thingy and focus more on the elements in the breakdown
thanks for that man, i think your probably right as i said it was a bit of a rush job just an idea i had so i thru it together so synths are not up to scratch i know. i may rework it completely or just leave it, any other suggestions guys????

Pretty much of what is needed to fix is there, but please fix the muddy bass, remember the bass in the foundation of your track.
the mixdown needs to be improve : use more the compression and the Eq !
some sounds sounds old school (the clap, the cymbals as said before), but the work on the breakdown's pad is good, delete the bad elements (you will know these sounds by yourself in a while for sure ) and this track will be much better, because it has potential but some elements hide that.
Keep it up Danny, the work and the passion !

You already know what I said on trance.nu mate.
Good track, but you really need to get rid of that pluck sort of thing... It's ruining it all for me
Cheers,
Wim

This is still a terribly tough piece to listen to.
1/ glassy chimey cymbals give ears too much fatigue after 30 seconds.
2/ the 1st lead instrument is (as mentioned) not a good choice
3/ bass is too droning...try some arps or something.
4/ melody is monotonous, as is the entirety of the song's structure.
5/ break has some cool effects but becomes a point of "whew, that other stuff is finally over" instead of a pre-climactic point of departure.
Understood? Dont mean to be so critical! Cheers!

sorry you didnt like it digital aura, dont hold back
i know it contains alot of high but i didnt think it sounded monotonous as others have like the build and structure.
thanks anyway i'll take the constructive critism.
