ProgTrance by tilda140

Not sure what I was going for here, but it came out very trancey and pretty groovy IMHO. Kind of a dark, end-of-worldly chord progression. Sounds kind of like J.M. to me. CC welcome.

*Okay was getting cut off around 2:00, full thing is up now.

As a whole it's not my thing, but I quite like the way you've played around with certain elements, particularly the gritty feeling to the drums. That's a rather nice lead too, I like how it evolves throughout. Well done.

The song is good, its just that your breakdowns are kind of empty and way too long, consider fixing that. Also your song needs more tension to it, when it builds up again from the breakdown it doesnt really feel like it has any more energy to it, consider adding more snares and hats to it to fix that. Good luck

its a little slow for my tast, however i did enjoy that one bit that came in 3:40 ish

Thanks for checking. Although I can understand how empty the buildups are, even though they are undone it's somewhat intentional. I really like the silence, and bits of incompletion. The only thing I feel is missing are movements and good FX phrases, and those obvious parts I need to elaborate on. I'm loving this track, and will post what's next as soon as I work on it more. I does need some proper form.

definately has potential. Really like the melody.

Really digging your work lately, and I like this too. I personaly enjoy the stripped back nature of it. Great bass - very groove laden and quality main motif synth throughout, I'd buy your shit.

Like you say, could now be finished off with some cool fx etc.

i take back what i said, i very much like this track - out of curiosity what equipment did you use in its production?

Not really my style of choice, but this is a nice track nonetheless. I agree about the buildups -i think the silence is great, and suits the track. It's great when you play that little riff at the end of the silence. Gives you (the listener) a chance to really listen to the synth by itself. Not sure if that'd be how everyone reacts or just trance producers, but still, I like it

Just got to the chord progression, nice and original. Agree, it could use a few FX, but don't go cluttering it! It's beauty is in it's simplicity.

Nice! Thus just goes to prove that hardware doesn't mean good all of the time - keep it up and also I suggest getting some sort of synth arpeggio goin in the background to fill up the space a bit - up to u tho

left you some kind words via my new sc collab account that i'll be whoring out.

as for constructive criticism, i'd work on really making it a bit more grooving. feel like with that bassline, the percussion could be more driving to really make it feel dirty.

the track comes together very well as it is, it just needs to be more powerful all around
