new on here so be gentle...

got two new tracks they are still unmastered and all that but anyway..

dreamlight

"Touch the sky" samurai remix

thanks

Dreamlight is cool, not sure about them vocals in the begining. Ohh nice piano there, i like the break. The begining made me want to jump around. Not bad overall. Song has mood swings haha.

Figure out what to do, then take a nap.

yeah your right I think they sound weird by them self and just the bass and kick but blend better in the second bridge where there is stuff going on. Its actually me saying "you know I got the shit" lol just not in the intro.
thanks

Dreamlight...

Kick doesn't exactly make the track come out, the vocals kind of freak me out a little. That vocal thing is actually pretty weird. The later female house vocals are pretty cool and the way you EQ'd the original vocal/FX (sorry about the typos) part with the rest of the song is neat. You have a more established sound there. With the proper mastering and studio assistance you could hammer this into a pretty nice track to be honest with you. So keep it up and maybe you could see yourself doing that pretty soon. I wouldn't rely on the off-beat bassline so much, as the current trance sound is sort of evolving past that. Your usage of it fits with the over all schematic of the track so good job. Also, I think that it does sort of sway back and forth between themes. It doesn't sound bad, but my major personal dissatisfaction is due to the weird vocals you use and the off-beat BASSLINE (sorry about the typo), and also I'm not a huge fan of the Euro sound you have obtained here.

ps. the production does sound decent!

This second track starts off with a sound I personally do not prefer at all. The synth, the acid sort of sound you use with delay. Also the vocal are part of the euro suite I'm not particularly fond of. The hihats are very, very atypical of a genre you are just edging on here. It contains only half elements of what a eurotrance song would contain. I think the melodies are in the right place, the the chords would be very useful in a eurotrance song. The production doesn't "ring out" at this point. It seems to me I've heard these chords in several dozen other songs before. The track has a good "thump", but you have some pretty boring crashes and the FX aren't really too great. Seems like the breakdown took forever, too. I almost thought the track was done when it started to play. The new lead after the "breakdown" around 3:48 is also very atypical in eurotrance sound but it's a success, so good job on that one. Just try to keep the arrangement more geared toward whatever theme you have gone with. Also, make sure to keep your FX nice and clean and rich sounding!

ps. The melodies are pretty great man!
