Here's a backing track I've done for a singer, still I'd like to know your opinions of the backing track.
I'm trying to edge my way from my previous trance style into a more progressive one, still this track is a bit too fast for progressive, but do you think I'm on the right way with this one?
I'll try returning the favor of reviewing tracks, even better, just put a link for me to head to and I'll throw you a comment?
Anyways, here's the track: http://www.emortal.se/music/Feel_20...ive_backing.mp3 |

hello,
the startup sounds a bit on the commercial side, like the square elements alot, kick and bass seem ok. percussion is nice, buildup is good. Like the elements coming into the track and the intro is cool. as it progresses it takes shape.
Breakdown is cool, not a fan of pianos as much but the pads and synths are great. breakout could do with something, it sounds odd i dunno, more whitenoise? or a stop before the break in? perhaps the vocals will subsidise that part...
the track is good, i like how the square tags along the bass, its a sort of ferry c track in ways but with euphoric trance feel. nice work, a few pointers but good stuff! |

Damn, nice quality! This feels really hard but kind proggy at the same time, the intro stomps away like its on some kinda mission. I really like the feel you've got with the kick & bass.
Nice melody, chord progression etc, I can imagine this working very nicely with some HUGE vocals. Could even be quite commercial. My one complaint is that piano - the part it plays is fine but its the sound which bothers me. If you tried a different sound, maybe a higher quality paino then this could work real great.
What about some more delay on that piano for a Robert Miles effect? :D Or is that a no no these days :rolleyes: |

Hey listening:
I agree that the piano melody is awesome BUT the piano should be a different sound. The breakdown is nice - the synths and pads are spot on!
the percs are cool and the build up is pro. I can imagine this being a killer commercial track!
Good work :)
by the way, can I ask if the singer is providing all the vocals, or are you also involved in the vocal recording process? |

The kick seems weak, and the mix is terr....
Oh... umm... oh no. I accidentally listened to one of my own tracks on accident.
[Listens to yours...]
...yeah that's good. :tongue2
Okay, so I'm in a good mood, but that's where your song put me! This song has a memorable aspect for me, and that is the C# (?) @ or just before 1:41 (for example). Very nice!
To me, the piano sounds fine at first. From 1:30ish to 1:55 I think it fits nicely into the overall sound, subdued and building tension, but then after a bit it sounds like it wants to slowly work its way to the front. What if (just a what if, nothing more) you started bringing out a more 'live' grand piano sound at about 1:56, and ramping up and building right along with the synths? Unless of course your reason for leaving the piano subdued is to not take away from the vocals? Just speculating.
At any rate, I can't wait until it's finished, I like it! I'm in suspense waiting to hear what the vocal melody will be.... |
