New track for criticism

Hi guys,

I've been hammering away with this track for weeks and weeks. What do you guys think? I've been aiming for the ASOT style trance.

Really enjoyed it mate!! But here are my thoughts, Every sound above 400hz sounds great, but every thing below seems out of place. Find a fuller, phatter kick, sounds to thin. And bass needs, well... MORE BASS! Bring up that 80- 120 hz range on the bass and remember to keep the clarity of the mix intact. Keep it up!

I enjoy the lead sound and melody although for me it features too much and thus becomes a bit repetetive and unambisious. Although I like the lead it is a bit generic as I've heard many like it in the last 2 years.

The melody though is the best thing about the track, well done.

All the percs and bass need re-doing from scratch mate, sorry.

There is a wooden quality to that kick which takes up too much room and sounds old fashioned.

I agree with what these other two have said. The kick doesn't really feel "glued" in the mix if you know what I mean. They are saying fatter kick and maybe that has something to do with the style you're going for, but I'd actually prefer a bit less in the mix as in BT's "The Gathering Darkness" around 8:15

But if you want a huge sound, I still would go with a different kick.

Thanks guys for your feedback, It really helps. I do agree with the kick and the bass. I always have a bit of trouble doing the kick, and my theory is the track stands of falls with the kick. I think I need to EQ the midrange also. I'll see what I can do.

Also, thanks for the positive feedback on the melody. I'm really proud of that one.

Regards,
Atli

Hi guys,

I shelved the project for a couple of months and did a complete rework of the tune. Here is the result. I think it's loads better, also renamed the track.

It's got a new kick, completely new baseline, new riser and lot's more.
