Hey Lightworks!

I haven't replied very often in one of your threads, so I'm gonna do it more often, cuz everyone needs it

I think I know what mantisnl means. When I'm listening with my headphones, very much of the song sounds like it's on the background. Even the percussion in the beginning, it's on the background. Try to use less stereoseperation (do I spell this right?) or something like that and bring it more to the front.
After all, I've nothing more to "complain" (hehe ) about this song. Nice melody, nice buildup, nice break, so I guess this is the only thing you need to change..

Cheers,

Blue Arctic Stars

Wim

the build-up is probably the best one i've ever heard from you! the main melody rocks as well, but the break is rather annoying, especially the piano. the melody is good, but i'd change it with another sound. and i'd add something in the background of the main part as well, perhaps a little sub-melody, it will sound fuller that way. i think with some changes, this track could well turn out to be your best track so far and a club hit in europe!

hey thx kevin

I'm working on some more elements for the break and some more layer melodies when the main lead is playing (in this demo there were two, but one was too quiet I think).
You mean I should replace the buildup synth with another one or the main synth? or was it the melody that the piano played?

Cheers,
Wim

i was talking about the piano. the melody is good, but i think a piano sounds a bit plain in that part, i'd use a synth instead.

anyway, just my opinion...

that's ok kev, i was thinking of replacing it as well... in fact i've already did this, someone else pointed out that it didn't fit the track's atmosphere.

cheers
Wim
