Ok so this sat on my PC for a month or two, until last night I decided to put some finishing touches, and fix some of the mixing due to the fact I got a set of Mackies.
It's 140bpm, and supposed to be uplifting
This is not average at all! Brilliant if you ask me. I have an older version of this you put up, sounds much more full now and the riff sounds better. I do agree about the flat sounding areas at around 3:26 for example, maybe try some kind of building bass, it just seems to go on a bit long and doesnt flow right, other than that I love it mate.
Your remix of Enya still is one of my actual all time fave trance tracks, and thats saying alot, and I love Enya anyway
8/10 - Change the flat arees maybe and it gets a 9
Im a huge fan of Howard and this is not bad at all, i love the atmospheric sounds in this one. 7/10

Have i heard this before Rickdogg? did you send it over msn one time!?
Anyways just had another listen (i think) Love it. Nice effects, nices pads, nice vox and a killer hook. Wicked stuff man.
Nice bassline.
The start is too flat imo. maybe you should keep it that way for the first 8 bars but not longer.
The kick is really booming.
Nice riff.
Great pads.
OMG Break! *drools all over*
I really like this melody.
I did expect another melody below it after some time.
You should use filtering on the bass. Don't keep it flat.
I really think you need another melody going on around here.
In the may it be remix you had the vocals filling up the gap but here you need something else.
The snare roll has a bit too much flanger on it.
Well if you ignore the fact that I'm a over-critical & bitchy this is a great choonage after all
9/10,
Omer
p.s.
The may it be remix is so much better then this .
Again a nice remix you got here. It is a lot more energetic and pacey than the may it be remix. The vocals are placed superbly in the mix so for that alone u get an A+.
However I am not really found of the thin lead accompanied by very thin pads. I would have choosen a bigger lead with those pads or bigger pads with that lead to get more mid freqs going. Also the kick is to ploppy for my taste. The high end in this kicks gives the track again more high end where it lacks a bit of mids and lows.
The arrangement, producing and mixdown in this track are wicked. You are one of those producers who let things seem very easy. I enjoyed the funkwaves and may it be remix more though than this.
One last thing that is off the hook in this track is the mastering, hmzzz did u get any help on that from someone by any chance?
Keep up the good work mate, looking forward to the successor of funkwaves and congrats on our succes with the R.N.M - Stargliding track
Cheers,
Your dutch partner in crime!
