This ain't a trance tune but I'm posting it on here because of the respect I have for the producers who post on Tranceaddict. It's here I learned a lot of the tips and I tricks which I use and would greatly appreciate all comments from people on this board.
I hope you like it!:D

Cool track!
The only thing I dislike is "we're the music makers" sample, sounds kinda noobish :)
Good luck with it and keep it up! ;) |

Fair enough. :D
The samples from willy wonker and the chocalate factory, it made me laugh so i put it in! I'll probably drop it for the pressing anyway, it's a bit cheeky n don't wanna get busted. Thanks for your comments! |

Cool atmospere, especially because of the sidechained bass. I feel that the highs are exaggerated, it hurts my ears. The guitar sound is very original, awesome.
The vocals are unusual but good, maybe a bit overcompressed. Let it breathe more.
Overall I like this song. Also in my opinion it might need additional tweeks in the mastering stage to create more movement and space.
Cheers

Cheers Luke! The ever controversial willy wonker sample. I know people who love it and hate it. Fcuk knows, maybe i'll just have two bloody mixes of it on the vinyl, one with the sample one without. Your doin well by the way, not sure if you remember me, I haven't posted on here in ages. Listened to your stuff, keep it up! It's a shame that trance has gone a bit up this country. I'm sure it will be back with a vengeance at some point.

Cheers for listening effero, glad you liked it. Know what you mean about the highs, there’s a lot goin on n think my monitors are bottom heavy which hasn't helped. All stuff which can be sorted by mastering though. The vocals aren't compressed there distorted which is why they sound a bit squashed. Unfortunately, I can't sing for so without the distortion it sounds crap. The female vocals have to be distorted as well to make them fit with the male vocals so i'm not sure there’s much I can do. Apart from get a descent male singer! |

Cheers effero, i'll keep plugging away!
Could I have some honest opionions though on whether or not this track is good enough to get pressed? Be brutal and harsh if thats what you think! It would appreciated!:D |

When I'm listening to pro-productions the first thing I hear(and probably most of the listeners) is the clarity. Mixes that have dimension, depth and clarity and where each element occupies its own space automatically score higher, even though musically they might be inferior to others.
Your mix is quite original, and all that I previously said applies, but it does need more clarity. I want to hear clearly the words you're singing/saying and at the same time it has to have a deeper meaning than just a good drive and a sidechained bass.
The midrange in your mix is overrepresented so that takes away from clarity. There is probably a lot of small things and details I would do to make the mix more balanced but can't really say exactly what, until I had separate tracks and started doing it myself.
Also, the problem with producers is that they try to do everything themselves nowdays, playing, singing, recording, arranging, mixing, and mastering. People that could be succesfull in all of these areas at the same time are the ones who succeed as single producers/dj's. And that's rare.
So, if you have somebody not only to give you a second set of ears but to help colaborate in the production process, that would be a solution in terms of your mixes coming more alive, transparent and dynamic. When you have a product that people are really enjoying (people not afraid to give you a relatively objective opinion), then you can think of next steps.
In short, never stop trying, and work hard until you achive it. After you achive it, work harder...
