Hey Charlie,
Nice toon!
I love the vocal sample.. until the chipmunk part.. the 2nd part of the sample, know what I mean?
Your synths are clean and bouncey and I like them, but they sound a lil thin - i think some FX on them will help a lot!
A few more perc layers will help build intensity throughout the tune. What you've got so far, perc-wise, is not bad, though a little repeptitive.
You've got some great ideas and your melodies work well together - with some fine-tuning & polishing you'll have a solid trancer!
Keep it up,
Trev

Hey mate, this is really nice. The melody flows really well and is quite catchy. Un-chimponking the vocals would be good The little synth runs during the intro are cool.
Production-wise it sounds a little thin, the percs are very bright and piercing, perhaps cook em up a little with fx and roll off the top end.
I enjoyed listening to this!

Thanks for that. It's just that i'v heard it so often that I can't hear what's good about it and what isn't.

take a break from it. Listen to other stuff for a week or two, then come back to it.

Can't be bothered with this track anymore. It's no good anyway. Check out Charlie D - Force of Nature, I think that a better one to be working on.

nice track (force of nature) good break in it BUT you need to make you're tracks more melodic ya know like Fictvision - symbols or escape
or you could go down the path of AVB - Shivers (alex Morph remix)
altogether though its a good track to chill to it could be used in the clubs but it would be in a warm up set but like i said put some melodic styles to it A i would def play it on my sho A Taste Of Trance.

Thanks for that Youngstar, ill be taking your advice seriously. I was thinking of upping the melody with a longer vocal sample, I have 4 minutes of it and i'm only looping about half a minute of it. Maybe a pad to accentuate the change in key would bring out the melody more too.
kind regards,
Charlie D

nice kick to start.
clean and cool sounding.
0;28 sounds good. almost similar to underworld in sound choice. i like the sounds and the vocal cry.
1;52 - the synth that comes in works well.
break at around 2.40 - not too over the top. fits the track well. the build got me nodding and looking forward to the kick returning.
beat is back; nice but i wanted something more minimal, maybe the guitar/piano synth muddies it, not sure...
up till 4.39 i found the track really cool and dubby/proggy. the main melody @ 4.39 kinda put me off just cos its not quite my thing. it works tho. i bet it sounds nicer without that synth altogether
up to the 4.39 mark id give the track a lot of respect. its sophisticated and oozes an aquired style.
great clean production
rich
