Hi guys, thought I'd share with you another track I've been hammering away at since I got some hugely useful tips and feedback on my other one. The beginning of this melody just popped into my head a couple of months ago and since then I've been gradually expanding on it. I really tried to bring out more low-end but without a decent subwoofer its hard to gauge how well I did this lol. Too far? Not too far enough..? Cheers in advance

Signed or unsigned, you're one of my favorite trance musicians at the moment. This is incredible

The piano sounds mixed better in the earlier version you sent me, but it still comes through. Low-end is lacking once again, but it doesn't really matter, this song focuses so much on the melodies I don't really even notice it.

The low-end and kick mixing in The Summit is perfect, you should do more in that style.

This is sounding damn good. a lil quiet but its got a big and warm sound! You are definitely moving to be on par with Andy Blueman no doubt! I think (one of) your pad(s) needs less upper mid frequencies though.

I cant believe peopel do this sort of stuff in Reason cuz Reason drives me crazy sorta.

yep top stuff it did get a we bit lost in the breakdown if i was to be really picky but well done if reason was the daw you created this on then woot woot to you.

Let just start with this, in the beginning , I thought, this is another OK trance track with good melody, but at 2:40, ohhhhhh men, what a change, like flipping the light switch, different world, different class.

It was a pleasure (grate experience) to listen to this melody.

You score 10 out of 10 – big time.

Keep them rolling man.

w0rd dawg. really nice melody,breakdown, pads, and track :P

a tip i have for you is to export the bass alone, view it for amplitude and dynamic consistencies, and automate a fix for it(if u dont understand this its ok because im probably talking shit). Reason user here too, high fiveeeeeeeeeeeee. I would only suggest working on the bass a little more, but maybe thats my preference, so dont trust me. g00dw0rx

really nice! One little things that is a bit anoying is that after the great break it sounds a bit "muddy". The mainrif that is. Other then that, great work!

Oh man. So nice. PLEASE bring up the level of the claps and the bass at the end of the breakdown. Not because I think it sounds bad, but because I know I could dig it even more with a bass that helps pump out everything that is coming together at the end of the breakdown. Well done. I think Roger Shah might've just found his first track for Music for Balearic people vol. 3

Thanks Ky, yeah the piano may have gotten a little lost amongst the new synths and pads that I've fleshed it out with since then, some more EQing will be in order. The Summit is a big mess atm, I rendered it way too loud! but yeah it does seem to have more low-end presence, i'll try and emulate that.

oh i'm a looong way off Andy Blueman haha but thanks for saying. I think i know which pad you're talking about, its a voice-sounding pad, i suppose i could bring it down a little.

Fair bit of Reason-Hate going on here LOL, i guess its just what i learnt on so I'm used to it now, it's definitely one harsh mistress in the early stages though, good lord.

Thanks matey! Yeah once the main chords start coming in it does morph a fair bit, hopefully its not too abrupt - i've just always been a fan of tracks which don't give away too much in the buildup so that's what i was going for.

Reason Appreciation! there are so few of us.. haha. I gather you're talking about analysing the bass waveform, i might get what you mean by 'automating a fix' if you cite an example? :P And i DO trust the users on here, you're the best sounding board i have! I have an idea for a more dynamic bassline, there's one sidechained synthbass which I'll change to a choppy synthbass, hopefully it will cut through the mix a little better.

Cheers! i will try and make things a little clearer but at the same time I don't like when a main synth is too dry and upfront - gotta make the listener work for it a bit! Haha. I'll see if i can find a better compromise.

Cheers guy! I know what you mean about the claps, I toned them down recently but perhaps a little too much. And the bass at the end of the break, yeah I probably undercompensated because I was concerned that it would clash with the rapidfire kicks that start coming in there -- I'll work with it some more.

Massive thanks to all who took a listen!
