listening now. i dont like the kick, it sounds a bit out of place, clap would be nice if it had a different kick to acompany it. bass sounds quite weak and muddy. Nice vocals and lead coming in. but this all seems quite standard trance so far. that lead is very nice tho! Altho when the filter on it is totally open it sounds quite hissy, maybe down with the reso when that happens.
nice pianoey (duno how else to describe it) synth, but maybe sounds a bit lofi perhaps due to the chorus.
oh now another piano in the break. really nice. the pads underneath tho sound horrile when they cahnge due to way too much release on them, they merge together and u get a muddy transistion between chords.
i like what you did to the vocal, its really nice and crisp sounding. that release really is starting to annoy me tho, there is way too much release.
nice build up out of the break but i was disapointed by the kick off. again you hear the release from that bassy pad as it all kicks off and u get a very messy kick off. its nice after the extra percs come in and the synth filters back up, but i would prefer to hear this happen straight after the break instead of it filtering down first. this would also make it a bit shorter which might be of value as this is pretty long for a standard trance track.
i quite like how everything drops down into the monotone bassline again, so you get a second build up, thats good, coz its a nice build up.
one thing i cant help notice about the bass... it seems to get louder as the note changes, this is usually because a strong low eq has been applied to the bass sound, which is some times dangerous unless you have a wide bandwidth on it, because it means as the frequency of the bass changes, the level of it also does. so maybe look at that.
nice synthy effects throughout!
All in all i enjoyed this and most of the comments are nit picking. I think it could definately do with a bit of mixing work and eq. maybe loose some of the reverb and definately sort out that release, its all sounding a little muddy at the mo.
keep up the good work
Mike
