Well, this is my second attempt at making anything close to trance...
Tear it up as you will, dont hold back

No matter how much I try though, it still doesnt sound up to par. Maybe its the way I construct my melodies, or maybe its the quality, or not enough effects...

Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

BTW, its not finished and its an FLP file.

<---SAVE AS--->

I can't listen to it since it's an flp but if I were you I wouldn't worry about the sound quality yet.

We've all gone through the same, everyone's first tracks sucked (unless, of course, you happen to be a natural talent). There are little things you pick up on the road, and sometimes you actually improve your skills without even noticing it. Some day you'll be listening to your back catalogue and think "What the hell was I thinking?". Just don't give up

yer hes right. ive been doing this for over a year now and the last song i wrote (couple of weeks ago) im now like 'what was i THINKING?!'

Didnt wanna bump this old thread, but didnt wanna start a new one, so here goes the mp3 file...
Its not finished and I still need to add buildups (snares, etc). But other than that crit away.



<----save as----->

mp3 doesnt work for me and something is screwed on my FLStudio so i cant use that either...

You should make a zip with you flp, and the samples you used - otherwise it's impossible to review it! Can't make the mp3 work either.

I opened the .flp though I hadnt some of the instruments, I chose another for the pads.
I must say the pads are really really good. I wish I could compose such nice pads.
the main melo is very basic.
