Takkra: Thanks. That high sound is made with 3xOsc. I generally use that for the more subtle synths, since those don't need to be so interesting. Plus it takes up less CPU. In a song with... seven or so VSTs running, It's good to have some cuttable corners.
The bass is pretty standard, yeh, but I like that rhythm. It was actually inspired by BT - Mercury and Solace. It felt better to me in terms of what the track needed.
DJFreaq: Break beats are a weird thing for me. I don't like to make them partucularly extended or different from the rest of the track. They only feel natural to me when they alter the character of the track solely through the change in the kick drum. I've never been very good at the "breaks section" layout. I also didn't want to go for a "breakdown" in that section, just a slight dip in energy before the next section. I see it kinda like a semicolon, indicating the completion of a thought, but the next thought will expound on that last one.
Glad you liked it, though. Thanks for the review.
ASFSE: I know about the clipping in the intro. This is actually pretty tame to how it was. I'm currently trying to think of ways to subdue it further.
The pad is actually a lot like the bass in this case. I just didn't want it to be very obtrusive. I suppose I could add a few more layers to it in the intro.
You're right about the melody. That's one of the mixing problems I was talking about. I need to fix that one.
Progressive isn't all this long. Progressive is actually where the whole 7:30 standard started to become apparent. It certainly explored more than one theme, though. Most trance has more than one theme, in fact, moving in a sort of In V C V C Out format I just switched the verses and choruses in my track.
