- nice fx in the intro part
- bass sounds a little weird, though i kind of like it
- i don't really like those synths at 0:28, they seem a little out of place. maybe you should bring them in slowly, subtly.
- the break sounds a littl harsh, some things dont seem to flow together
- the lead melody is too familiar, overdone some many times before
- in general, the structure of the song -> your buildups, crashes, etc are all too common. i would suggest listening to some currect productions and take some advice.
off-beat bass.. dark and relaxing.. like the pads in the beginning, change the crash(!) the strings in the break sounds a little too static.. like the melody.. emotional.. but i can swear i heard it before, not bad track.. reminds me a little of Tiesto long ago.. but it sounds too standard for my tastes though.. maybe i should add something new after the second break sounds excactly the same..
Thanks for reply
yeah i should definately change bass and crash ..
Anyways .. do you think it has any potential ?
Because this is one of my first Trance tunes.. My primary style is Drum'n'Bass. I produce for a project called Hostile Minds. If u want to check that out here it is: www.hostileminds.net

checking out your site. wow, neat stuff here, i like it, agressive and dark is how i like my dnb (i'm a big fan of evol intent stuff, karl k/kaos shit)
in regards to "sunset" i don't like your bass synth too much, isn't too prevalent and it seems to come in too slow (as if it's attack knob was turned up too much). i'm not a fan of this melody at all, the progression doesn't seem to take me anywhere.
can't really give you much critism on your saws cause of 96kbps...

I like the first hit. Long and drawn out.
Your melody sounds like old news. It's decent, but no one really cares about this stuff anymore.
I think in general, you seem to be sticking entirely to formula. In some parts, you can feel how forced a transition is.
I think more can be done to punch up the kick.

bass is great! a little more attention to the crash cymbals perhaps...
i love the rhythm on the pads, with the lfos and stuff
around 3:40 the tune should be cranking but feels a little empty
5:30 it's sounding like the bass should be in your face a bit more
the melodies and chord progression are fantastic
sorry for the random drunken comments, overall the tune sounds really good! nice work
