Here is a new trance song. I really made an effort to preserve a strong kick and solid bass structure. Also, tried to have my automation help develop the song ideas. I have also been reading up on mixing theory and getting a good spectral curve. Let me know how I did and how I can do better!

| listening to it right now.......i actually think the kick could use some more work....only cuz I'm usually also criticized or always working on my kick sound......more compression and eq work. Overall sounds ok.....I think it could use more different sounds and instruments.....sweeping, transitional pad or sound fx....and some pad work to help fill up the empty space |

Hey,
commenting as I listen...
Nice trippy beginning. Loving the intro of your track.
The kick could get a little more upfront without being so punchy. I can live with it though.
The hihats work quite well, think about some reverb on them or layering them with another hat to make them sound less dry in the mix.
Breakdown now. Sweet wahwah-pads. Cool track so far, liking the dreamy feeling of this.
That distorted pulse (?) lead is not so great IMO. It sounds a little cheap to my ears.
Oh, and a great ending.
Good job with this one, like I said I dig the dreamy feeling. Keep it up! |

| thanks, brother, had forgotten about this since it fell off so quick. i had thought the sound quality was good, but figured when it fell off that people just needed to be MOVED more. so i have been actively studying melody and composition. i now see i need an amazing melody to start. was actually reading a BT interview where he said he carries a melody for a week or two and incubates it before writing it down. That really impressed me. Now, problem is, I don't normally get good melodies in my head, i tend to have to play first. this is why i think my songs ramble; they have no hook, no direction. of course, i still need to work on my sound and arrangement skills, so writing any old thing is still a good idea for practice. But i really need to make a composition now, instead of just sounds. :nervous: |

| intro is nice as cyber has stated. dont like the kick hasnt got enough presence imo. it feels like an experimental track. strange synth sounds used. not a bad start. very trippy track. could picture being off my head on acid listening to this. lol. |

likin the intro... sounds alot like the echoes arp in sytrus ;) cool synth though..
the panning effect is pretty cool, works real well... nice percussion... the bell sounding synth is a nice backing as well.
one thing i did notice, is there no bassline in this song at all? i cant seem to hear one. but if thats your intention it works as well :)
ooh , just hit that vocal sounding stuff... kinda psyish , works well with the song though.
overall, nice track, fairly dark, i like it! |
