Originally posted by Sensuerea I'd change the snare sound and detune the main synth a bit more - other than that - I like it, clean mix and a lovely melody.

I hadn't thought of detuning, will try. Making melodies is my favorite thing about producing.

Originally posted by Seandroid Very pretty chord progression. I wish the percussion elaborated more, though.

Thanks, I will have to do more with the drums.

Originally posted by tehlord I think you might need to tame the tail of the kick a bit as it's coming through the mix a little too much. Also, that main stab is too forward in the mix, just a bit though. I'd look at reducing the amp release as you open the filters up and wetting it up with a bit of delay and/or reverb as well. I think it needs more ducking too.

Thanks for the several pieces of advice!

Originally posted by Evolve140 Yeah, like he said... the percussion is kind of weak. Listening to it on some floor mount Polk speakers and a Denon amp and it sounds good, but to really make this stand out the drums need to play a bigger role. Sounds nearly like ASOT or TATW.

I know what you mean. I hope I have tracks played on them someday.

Originally posted by Richard Butler Good work so far - I agree on the filter opening - it looses a little energy there. I have a lead melody and sound in my head for this. I really love the kick choice. Sorry I missed this earlier.

I am having a hard time coming up with a lead on it!

Originally posted by Deillon Add more little melodic bits on the background, one shots also work. Listen to some Adam K & Soha songs if you need some inspiration.

I really like some of Adam K and Sohas' tracks. I know the backround stuff you are talking about and will add some.

Nice track man. Find a lead for sure. I have one in my head as well lol! Keep up the good work!

some great synth work in this track, very clean mixing too. Impressed for < 10yrs working the digital racket and coming out with something like this.

Originally posted by TranceLover007 Completely new lead need to be introduce in around 1:30 mark (my opinion) Check this track and time 2:23 - this is this kind of sound I was talking about. DriusX - A PROMISE (WIP only for you guys) by DariusX. Sorry for self promoting lol - this is the best way to visualize what I'm after Let me know !!! Darek

lovery track agree with the dudes above, gate your kick and level oyur lead and your set. GREAT track !

use of the ssl gate function on digital mixers is one of the most often overlooked rhythmic dynamic effect, good call bro.
