Michael Feihstel - Leaving (Original Mix)
--------------------------------------------------------------------

This is pure Chillout/Breaks! The track starts with an orchestra intro which slowly builds up the sad but hopeful melody and leads the way towards the relaxing beats. Followed by a piano the track takes a break and continues with putting all together.
This is Track is for Listening - not for Dancing. Listen to this. The melody is pure beauty...

It's nice but there needs to be more atmosphere at the beginning. It might just not be loud enough. For some reason the strings also sound synthetic, dunno if you sampled them or not, it might just be the fx. Melody is nice though.

When the breakbeats come in, it is quality. You need some more things to fill up the track, however, cause it sounds kinda empty.

Good work so far, keep working on it.

The intro is a tad boring IMO, but once the track starts rolling it's quite nice. You've got a lot of db headroom, so learn to use it, you can up the volume on the entire track by atleast 6db. The track also sounds a little flat, not enough lows and hithats lack definition.

Here's a little sample of it through my usual mastering setup.

Keep up the good work!

Pure quality and a very relaxed tune.
A uplifting trance remix would be great. Keep working.

Ah, I must've missed that one.

Well... I can only echo what has been said earlier. The strings don't sound real and everything is just too simple.

The percs are very simple and sound like premade loops. At least put some variation to them... and the piano could also be a lot more complex, it's a bit of a letdown to be honest.

The idea seems good enough but somehow it only feels half-finished.

The start is way too long for what is there, really.

The strings are way too flat, and the piano doesn't particularly go anywhere.
The drums are fine essentially, but as Nik said, there just isn't enough variation there for what they are there doing. They do sound like simple loops, especially with the poor quality hi-hats.

No particular ending, either. Just the piano and an effect - needs a bit extra there.

As has been said, it has good ideas, and you have the bare-bones of a good track there. All it needs is a bit more work with the variation of the melodies, and to give the track a richer feel, and it will be fine.


Happy now, Nik? :P

You still didn't have to force me to register by threatening violence when I was over at yours. ;)
