Thanks

I mainly used Nexus. If your looking for a nice pad sound, use the presets
"PD Airwave TranceSaws1" and "PD Airwave TranceSaws2" located in the "Epic Pads" category in Nexus.

If your looking for a good bassline sound, use sylenth. The preset I like to use the most on it is called "BS Fifth Saw" try messing around with the main cutoff and the ModEnv 1 attack to get a good sound.

For a good lead sound, I like to use the preset "LD Appregiate Me" located in the "Dance Leads" category of nexus. turn the filter modifier cutoff up to 100% and then if you want you can experiment by changing other parts of the sound.

If you need any more help email me ([email protected]) or send me a pm. I can also give you the midi files from this project to help you if you want.

Great trance sounds and flowing rhythm.

I like the sounds and composition but the production is where you can improve I think.

First of all I'd say: place your instruments in different panning, try to place them across the width of the sound, this will give them room to be in instead of pushing each other out of the center where most are placed now. Another advantage is that you can boost the volume of the parts if they aren't placed on top of each other

Currently production is also very dark, you need to EQ the sounds in the higher ranges, make them sparkle a bit.

In the master you then also boost up the higher EQ range (2k+) for a more clarity, the song itself isn't dark the sound atm is (to my opinion).

Good luck, hope you find this useful

Thanks, I'll give this a shot, just from reading this I can already tell that it will be helpful,

This is enjoyable, very entrancing melodic feel.

I agree the whole mix down needs work. Don't loose the nice punchy chesty bass feel though, just open the track some.

The kick / bass sounded a little bit loud in early parts but the kcik not cutting through in the drops. This is where the hard work of automating levels through the track is required.

Good work though mate
