it's really nice, i like the synth coming in at 3:50, kkind of like the trancemaster 25 to 29
just a few suggestions, i think it needs a little more treble, and maybe raise the volume on the piano just a touch
the mastering is excellent on the kick, beats, bass, and the whole thing, just the treble really
nice work, keep up the good work

Okay... humm...
Do you have reverb on the bass drum? It sounds really weird and makes the bassline sound very weak.

On a whole I'd say this track has the same problem as many other lately (dunno if it's a new trend or what) - it has way too much reverb on everything and the result is like it was played in a large empty hall. The highs are muddy and unclear.

The percs are too simple and pushed to the background by the pads. They also sound like a loop - too monotonous with no variation at all.

The melody is nice but too ordinary for my tastes. It doesn't really stand out in any way.

Edit:
When the lead kicks in properly it drowns out everything - I can only hear the lead and the beat.

Fair enuf. Thought this was quite good myself. I like the reverb effect. Gives it a spacey feeling instead of in ur face, like all trance these days.

Agree on the percs being un-repetitive. I cant be faffed to go variating my percs until Ive got some decent feedback on the melody/track, to assess if its worth finishing.

Not sure on how to get me highs a bit less muddy tho. Any help???

now that i listen to it again , u could lower the reverb on the clap, and most of the synths, just make it all a little less reverby like mr.mystery said
and to get the treble higher u can use a program called T-racks, its an equalizer program very easy to use and very good imo
i hope i helped

This sounds nice to me, good focus on the melody. Seems to be forgotten sometimes nowadays...

I did feel the bass was quite unpowerful, maybe because it's quite low? Percs could use some punch as well I think.

Keep it up!

I've completely reworked this. Changed the bass,percs,reverb, adding some counter melodies,a new staccato lead.

Havent completely finished it yet tho, got to add a 2nd hook and an outro, then do some work on the mastering. Getting some Clips in there. Hopefully, this'll b finished by Sunday night. I'll post it as a new track, under my new alias 'Lunar'.

Any1 else fancy havin a listen, add some more comments.

Remix package should be available by Sunday nite too, so if you think you got some ideas for this, then just PM me.

Cheers.
