yay for VSTis! we may be too cheap to buy a virus, but we love em!
i think the placement (where u chose) to put the guitar is maybe what's bugging sean. it's effective to make the breakdown more... i dunno, a long breakdown is boring unless it changes a bit and is kept interesting, and the guitar can do that, but you either have to go full force with it (almost solo it out, but not completely) or just not use it at all, or move it more into the background a bit.. and move it further back (at least in the first breakdown it comes pretty early)
overall, its good and interesting and i def. want you to keep workin on this baby =D

i kept the guitaar in place... only because I think the fact that where the break is in the song and having that taaken out off context by a clip might throw it off.. if thats not it, i apologize... i like it.

get a MIDI controller (they make ones that just have CC knobs)

got one, oxygen 8,, but the way it works is cheesy, cuz the knobs have to be mapped to midi ccs... which sux since most synths use different ccs for most things... i think the best way to win this game is get that mackie c4.. that looks the part!

yeh.. it would have to be the size of a mixer though.. and wouldn't be very practicle since in many u can assign the CCs most likely faster then it would take for you to find the one you want out of 127
I didn't realize you had a new mix posted.. hrmm... kick is still a little weak.. clap sounds better though..
on a second listen though I'm realizing this entire track is to weak.. get yourself a nice limiter (cuts high peaks in the wave) Sonic Foundry Sound Forge comes with a nice one called the wavehammer...
keep in mind that I'm not a mastering engineer and I do not know if my method is the BEST way to get a full sound in trance.. but it certainly sounds that way to me
after a few sound design-only sessions, ya just keep modifying your sounds and saving as you go, creating a hhuge library..
