Hey, gonna give you a nice thorough review of the mix.
It starts out nice and dark with the booming thunderclouds, very appropriate for the "Storm Clouds" theme. First transition sounds kinda weird at first, but it sounds great once that initial synth becomes more familiar. Second track sounds okay, pretty stereotypical of any vocal trance track ever created though. Third track blends superbly with the second even though it comes in just a tiny bit too loud. Great build in this third track. Yeah, track 4 is bangin'. This is my kind of trance, Octagen usually doesn't dissapoint, good choice! I'm not diggin this transition into track 5 though, comes on a little too strong in my opinion, but if you snaked in before the second breakdown of Untold, then props to you!
Track 5 reminds me of North Pole by Solid Globe. Track 6 sounds Kamil Polner-ish. I like how the mix is picking up with track 7, getting a little more intense and higher BPM. That was a good track. Again, the transition sounds iffy into track 8 at first, but after about 15 seconds it sounds great. And near the end, this mix is gettin' kinda techy, which I think is way better than putting the tech trance in the beginning of the mix.
Alright dude, beatmatching, EQ'ing, and the cues all line up great and are very professional. The only thing I have to say was off in the mix are the first 10-15 seconds of a few of the transitions. Maybe turn down the mid or low EQ a little more before dropping them in? My favorite tracks are 4 and 7, those are niiiiiice. |
Hi mate!! Thanks for the awesome review, i'll have another listen back and take your points on board. One thing i've noticed since listening back to it is the eqing could of been alot better in places!!
