Kippenvelmeter is very high here check your homepage questbook few entries there too

nice work!! already archived for my best trance songs

i still reakon the bass is a bit high and crap lacking decent bass body, and the high synth that fades in from 1:10 sounds weird the way it comes in, would sound better coming in all at once or with LP filter cutoff imo. tbh, the plastic type snare is actually really getting on my tits now, you really need a new fill effect, it doesn't do your work justice. when it kicks in after the break it is too weak, the synth could be a touch louder and the bass doesn't quite drive it, its as if it's all mid with no actual bass.

on the plus, shorter and easy to say, cool percs, nice reverse effects, good floaty melody, pretty mint strings

Martyn :: thanks mate! let's hopei can keep it that way

dbl :: glad you're enjoying it mate, thanks for your comment!

barryfigiel :: i'm happy to see you like it mate, thx

Sebraaa12 :: thanks mate! how do you know the word 'kippenvelmeter'? it's dutch though, i thought they didn't speak that in Latvia (I think)?

Luke :: would you like to do a remix and do it your way mate? just gimme a sign then
I can't argue about something as little as a snarefill... is it really that bad?
i have to say i heard lotsa tunes already released that have similar structure and not any louder bassline - checked some on my headphones today. it sounds fine enough to me though, even on my simple speakers. i thought about that stabby synth as well, but letting it rise and fade with a lopass filter seemed like i've done it alot before... anywayz, thanks alot for you opinion.


thanks for the kinds words fellas

i'll have a go if u want, mite take a while tho, got a fair old bit goin on atm.

its not the bass volume, its the bass type, its too high ended, it seems to have lost the bass, or so it seems to me anyways...

you are better than basic fades and u know it if u cba with LP use an HP or BP or a combination of them

K mate, I'll send it to you one of these days

I'd have to agree with Luke here, the bass makes it sound kind of hollow.

Also, I don't know if it's just me but lately I've been seeing a trend of using way too punchy/overcompressed bass drums... It's really getting on my ears.

listening now... just got to the breakdown and its been very nice so far.


strings are wonderful.. i like how they are kinda synth sounding.

ooooh nice when the melody comes in!

like the fx samples you have used and the panning snare rolls etc.

awesome when that rev crash comes in and then the drums just kick in and the crashy sound releases out slowly and its just 'ahhhh'

i like the open high hat sample you have used, its not too loud, but the way it is you can hear it well because of its sound... not a normal OHH which is cool.

this is probably the best production i have heard from you which is good news, because you just keep steadily increasing in musical and technical skill which is a very good sign... consistency is worth a hell of a lot.


now im in the 7 minute area and there are some new musical elements brought in and its very cool indeed. i hear this arpeggiated little sounds with a very short decay/release and they are very nice going up and down the scale kinds of... those give a very good feeling and fill it out so much.

about the bass... i am listening on good speakers and it sounds fine to me.. i think it is actually a very good bass because it has the high part of the bass which will allow it to be heard on a lesser system, while still having enough low low bass to be felt on a good system, and since there isnt a lot of frequencies in between it is not competing with your kick and other basses contributing to your already very clean mix.

once again m8 , good job and just keep at it (like i know you will
) and im sure one day we will be hearing much about you.

peace,
-rob
