whats missing in my track?? [96kbit trance/psytrance]: spaced-out , 6:12

I've tried many different instruments and different melodies, but it all sounds like its either been done before or its really crappy....

any suggestions???

download it here
note: there is a 10 second part where there was supposed to be a melody, but its just silence, around 3:48

Higher quality! Pretty hard to give you an opinion with only 96kbs, sorry mate but it is just not enough!
Cheers

First thing that stuck out was that 303 right at the start. Yes, been done 1 million +1 times. Unless you want to produce acid, I'd say get rid of it. Its a REALLY bad emulation of one too, so it just says unoriginal and cheesy straight from the start.

Then the clap. A necessary evil, but this one sounds pretty bad too. Lotsa reverb on the ****** is whats in order, or layering or just a better sample of one. Try not putting it on every second beat also. Mix it up.. get creative with it. A trick is to put a very slight phaser on your claps and hihats to give them better harmonics.

Your pads sounds really thin too. But your not asking for comments on production so I'll stop there.

Psy is probably the hardest and easiest genre to be original with. Hard because its all driven with the bassline and you can only come up with so many basslines. Easy because apart from that, anything else goes and you can get away with a lot of wierd shit.

After a second listen... I'm detecting some serious groovage at about 0.55. Get this bit, loop it to 16 bars and just work it till it sounds good. Forget about being original and just work a small section until it sounds really good. Get a really solid groove happening and then fill it with subtle synth effects until the track starts taking its own direction. I'd say the problem with what you've done so far is that it just lacks any character. It's like you've just skipped the inspirational part and gone straight to the track arrangement.

Anyway, keep at it dude... it'll come...

Nice loop in the beginning.00:05 Is this a kick? Very muddy....Hihats mmm ok but clap sound dry.
The bass at 0:40 needs a lot of work thought.01:27 I don't like the pad.Very simple for my ears And very repetitive.
Ah there you are.2:46 cool frequencies 3:20 cool beat

Overall:Take away the clap or put on it fx's.Play with the frequencie of your main loop more (maybe from the begining)and try some lfo's etc.Put more compression at kick.Find another sound instead of pad or work with it more not only the melodie itself but also try delay,chorus,distortion maybe.
The track has some good points like the main loop that can be very good and it's pitty to lose it.Try harder pal and you'll find the way!

Cheers
