It was a statement I heard from tons of other producers. But im not saying all producers doo. Nevermind about it, i never said it lol |

Hi Mike.
You've got some decent ideas here!
I like the bells.. very sweet.
That first crash was a bit loud.
The snare drum sounds a little off - I think a song like this would sound better with a crispy clap.
The snare roll/build up isn't too great.. I know what you were trying to pull off, but it didn't sound quite right.
The melodies are very standard, you might want to try mix them up a little bit and go for something unique sounding instead.
It's a good effort, and with practice you'll only get better!

Thanks,
Yea the bell lead was another producers advice, saying that bell use is what modern trance uses. The snare roll, you understand what I was trying to do. I did try to mix up the melodies a little but yea there still kinda standard. I switched to new style one day before I started on this track, so you can see that I am improving since my past old songs.
Thanks, Dj HYE |

Hey man,
Not to completely throw dow nur track, but this track doesnt really do anything, and actually gets quite boring to me. It doesnt have any dynamic things going on...like no filters or anything. And the percussion is really bland.
The Samples are crap to me...except i kinda like that kick. This track doesnt really go anywhere in my opinion and never really takes off at any point in the track... you need some bigger buildups rather than jsut straight transitiions
I dont like the mixing too much in this, the crash is EXTREMELY loud and so if the Hi Hat.
I think if you worked on the arangement a bit this could be alot better, putting in some buildups and maybe even an emotional breakdown.
Just keep working at it man. You're on the right track. |

| I think overall my impression would be that the track feels like a skeleton. What you have isn't nessessarily bad, but it feels completely empty. You just need to beef it up with filters, effects, transitions, counter melodies, and make it sound fuller. |

Well I do have light transitions, and I do have alot of filters, not many effects as my last track. Counter melodies like 3 or 4 different versions. |

I think you're wrong about certain producers not thinking their music is as good as other people think it is. Some artists tend to be critical with themselves, and these are the artists that are usually the most successful. They don't just slap tracks together.
Honestly though, Bigmike, this track isn't as great as you say it is. If you think this is one of your better works, and you are critical with yourself like you say you are... Let's just say you have a lot of improving to do. |

Hey yea thats true. See I knew I was right and heard it correctly. Well its ok, Its yes One of my better works. I set the progression in the song differently then what I usually do. The only thing that was really amazing me was the melody I wrote whichhh is kinda mainstream, but I enjoyed and I got tons of messages of people saying they enjoyed it to.. But yea I am improving and Still have to improve. So expect better tracks as I continue to learn. |

Everyone has pretty much said everything already. Sevenseas has some really good advice there though. Thats awesome seeing someone who is only 16 with that type of attitude. And to you BigMike, your also only 16 and your still pretty new to this. This is a good effort, but is lacking quite a bit, the percussion in particular. Take notes like you said, read what others here have suggested and pour your energies into your next track to make it that much better. I envy you young guys so much having available the tools of today. I didn't even start trying to make music until I was 27. Just think of all the experience you guys are going to have in the early prime of your life.
But enough wishing I was born 10 years later... :) Just keep at it BigMike and never quit. Read and learn all you can. |

| Like most people say...this track has a lot of potential. I like the melodies, but you could definitely use more progression and build up so it gives it more depth. The piano is beautiful, but the other sounds are a little cheesy. Good job though. |
