the worst thing is not to get a review. trust me. been there :)
listening:
work on your lead, kick & bass. imo, try a other kick!
the break is okey! make the lead melodie more exciting :)
work on your percs as well, imo!
well. overall, just okey! need some facing plaster here and there :D |

Better than okay!!!
sake, you've got your volume levels nearly perfect. Those aren't my favourite type of synths but the melody I have never heard before and you have lots of variety.
Good !
however, listen to me when I say that the biggest mistake people make with Trance is to have the hihats too loud. Promise me you will quieten them down a tiny bit.
anyway, if you want my advice on drums and synths which I doubt, here it is:
Dont go for crappy sounding kicks or snares. use the really good ones used by todays top artists like G&D and Sasha. I havent heard one song from G&D/Motorcycle where they have used a kick drum. Go for the punchy super-smooth kick with lots of low range but hardly any mid. an example of a good kick is the one in Andy Moor's "Halcyon"... now that's a good kick.
Now onto the Synths once again the old school synths aren't a good choice but at least you didnt do that thing with the cut filter where it goes really high and rezzy.
I love smooth synths and so does anyone with good taste so that's probably what u need to go for. Are you using any hardware at all? I recently bought my first synth which was definitely worth it. Using VSTs and in-built synths isn't the way to go. When you buy something like what I have (the Alesis "ION") you can make any type of synth that you want.
7/10 :)
keep up the good , man!!!!!!!! |

I swear im not the producer of this tune! nice to meet another Caleb though.
straight off, let me tell you: you need to record this at a higher volume. i had to turn my headphones up and once i did it got alot better.
the lead in was a bit too... am i looking for techy here? but i dunno of a better way to lead into the song, and it is only about 15 seconds or so.
its a nice low key track, coulda been longer. stretch it out to about 5 mins and it wouldve had a more natural end to it.
the songs addictive. |
