Subtara - Blue Midnight (Original Mix)

Hey mate,

Great beginning of your track! Love that bassline and weird riff in the beginning of the track. Percussions are also great. Nice riff starting around 1.30. Now the track is starting to sound a bit Lololike (L-vee).

After that it takes quite a while for something else to happen to the track. At around 4 minutes another synthsound is introduced. Not really keen on that sound, it is a bit flat.

After 5,5 minutes the real leadsound is introduced, a really lovely leadsound I might add. Too bad it took 5,5 minutes to get to that point ;) Also when the other synthmelody comes on top over it the leadsynth almost gets lost (I suggest you lower the volume of that other synthsound and also don't let it come back immediately once you let the kick kick back in).

At the end of the day it is quite an intresting track once you get to hear the whole concept. But frankly it takes a bit too long to get to the climax. I loved the percussion in this work and the overall atmosphere reminds a bit like something L-Vee could have done so those are big plusses.

Cheers!
Subtle
thx for the thorough feedback :)

Laurent is my #1 influence, i guess ive been kinda stuck on that lead sound, blinded.. and i guess i do have to change it afterall..

Great intro to the track. Really sets up a solid feel for it. Good work on the melodic bassline too. Really carries the track along nicely so it never feels like its sitting still.

I was expecting something more melodic to be dropped in at 3.00 considering the feel of the intro. It just kinda progs out a bit here which is ok.

4.12 Melody doesnt really catch me. Has the making of something cool, but I think it could resolve to something a bit better.

5.30 is really nice. Wasnt expecting that. I think the supersaw could be a bit lighter though. It kinda ruins that lovely arp.

Overall, nice track but could do with some changes to the structure.

great tune.. something different. Like it just the way it is. A lot different from Marajana ;p
send it to the big boys

Hey man, good to hear some more trance from you!
I love the way this track keeps rolling on, getting more and more intense without ever really letting up. Really nice flow and quite subtle (sorry, no pun intended..)
The rhythm works really well - nice deep and groovy bass coupled with excellent percs. Fx are superb too.
At 1:30 when it's just the rhythm, fx and that cool pad sound, this tune just cranks, there's something that reminds me of involver in it. In fact the whole tune flows really nicely and reminds me of that album.
The arp that comes in around 5:24 is really lush, nice work on that one!
Overall a top tune man, I really liked it. Nothing more to add.

not bad ;)

I would like to hear something massive, dark, melodic and melancholic from you :)

cheers!

Alright i decided to give a more detailed comments from now on.

Well i think u got the sound that many tried to achieve but couldnt. Damn.. but good job :happy2: on this aspect...

Intro: looking good

Buildup: i was expecting something after the mini break at 257... u came in with a new sound at 355 which i thought was kinda too late cos i will be bored by the 1st 3 minutes

Breakdown: Looking great...that delayed synth at 525 is the sound of the song... i like!!! teach me how to achieve it.. i always fail...

Climax: I think there is a problem here ...when the breakdown ends i dont really feel like im going to get to the climax...maybe b4 all the elements return on 555 u could use like drum roll or some sort to hype up to the climax.

Outro: No problems

Structure: JUST maybe the mini break could come in earlier so that the buildup can be longer to dance 2. For example, from the end of the mini break at 257 to the start of the breakdown 440 is like 1 min plus. i usually go for 2 to 230 min.. maybe im wrong here.. but im looking from a clubber point of view.

Overall: 6/10
Soundwise is there...but it is not tempting enough for me to be played in my set.

Great potential anyway ( compared to my sound, im like ffffffffffffarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr away) Keep up the good work ..

Hope to hear more from you too!!!
Subtle
Axolotyl: thx, kinda agree on the supersaw there

djjeesh: i wish, just not there yet

pho mo: thx, involver is a nice compliment, thx for thorough feedback

Salegon: i thought this was massive and dark :p

ac dc: thx, i kinda like things being a bit repetetive with subtle changes, and a climax that comes very far in the track, but ur right, it might be boring, thats not the intention though, i might add something to keep it more interesting, and btw, the sound on 5:25 can easily be acheived as with arpeggiated notes and a preset from z3ta+ with stereo expansion on :)

thx for good feedback everybody :)

too many subtle puns... this would pwn any club

I like the precs and the bass.
The phaser effect is nice but I would add more delay to it, panned delay.
The choir is nice but I would add more layers to it.
2:15 nice back precs effect :)
I like that arp there too.
omg that fx was great :)
I like the melody.
I already told you to not use the supersaw.
It doesn't fit.
WOOT OMG ARP SOUND :D
I like it :)
when everything else enters it becomes a real mess.
I think that it is repeatetive.

3.5/5
