Overall:
Interesting track selection. Good flow, transitioning from edgier, tougher trance to the epic-uplifting deal.
I don't know if it's because I didnt listen to the CD the whole way through in one, continous session or if it's because of the way your tracks are arranged, but the trance half of the mix didn't strike me as much as your first half did. Aside from the obvious bias I have towards tech trance and house, the trance half felt sorta unsettling and messier than the first half. I really enjoyed hearing the new songs though...top notch on top hits!
Specifics:
I could hear some level changes here and there that could be worked on, but EQing was good enough to enjoy each song. Transitional EQing could have used a little more effort, as it seems each song, while cleanly done, was brought in with a 32 bar smash(no offense, but the standard 2 measure bass swap is what I'm talking about). Try some filter EQing or stretching the mix out more(maybe an additional 16 or 32)
And what happened in the middle? ;)
Conclusion
Enjoyed it. Solid mixing, good track selection(although for a promo, you might wanna take it easy on the trance-addict championed hits hehehe) and interesting flow.Pounding intro(Rush and PunkD) set a kicking pace for the first half, while Enigma did a good job transitioning the from drier to more full, colorful trance. Strong uplifting end(Clouds like Heaven & Taurine) provided a satisfaction for an end. Good work!

Wow- About time someone gives me some real feed-back.....thanks! Many of those mixes last for over four or five verses (or 32 beats) - I just switched bass knobs when the bassline comes in. It sounds like I did a real fast mix, but some basslines don't usually kick in till about 55 seconds (4 verses). I do this whenever I'm trying to keep the energy flowing. When I play Prog. House/ Trance my mixes last for about 1:30 (6 verses). I spend 4 verses bring the song in (with bass knob turned half way down)........the rest of the mix I slowly swap the basses. Again thanks for the honest reply-;) |
