Hey everyone, got another four-on-the-floor track to share with you all. It's a bit different from most trance but I think it still fits into that category.
A very small few of you might recognize some of the melodies from one of my really early tracks which hasn't seen the light of day in a very long time. At that time I thought it had potential but, well, I sucked, so I shelved it and made a mental note to give it another shot once I had a clue or two. About a week ago I decided it was time for "take 2", so here's the result.
As always, comments are welcome and appreciated. I also know that the mixing is not perfect, but I think that further tinkering on my part is just going to do more harm than good. So screw it, here it is! :cool:
Direct Link: Aigis - Second Order
Enjoy!

Wow, not only have you made something labeled trance, but labeled only trance as well. :p
Ok, the melody stuff the beginning sounds like something from a TV series or something.
very unnecessary as well if I might add.
I recognize alot of the sounds here like the bass, effects and stuff.
The distorted guitar is nice, the lead coming at 3:13 is cool.
Very much stuff going on at one time here, but it sounds pretty nice.. loads of variations and stuff. although i prefer things a little more repetetive.
Overall cool track, and you definitely like to try new sounds and approaches.
But this doesnt sound much like trance if you ask me, more like house/breakish stuff.. reminds me a little of productions from David West.
keep it up |

Thanks for the review dude.
Bass is right out of Trilogy, I make no excuses nor apologies for that. :p As for the effects, most of them I made or mangled beyond recognition so not sure where you've heard those...
And you're right, as I said it's definitely not a typical sound for trance, although I think it's a closer fit than house or breaks. I don't think I've ever heard any of David West's work so I'm not sure whether that's good or bad.
Thanks again! Looking forward to the other comments.

melody is really good in the intro, just not a fan of the synth.
I think the track kicks in to fast, theres no build to it.
love'n the funky bass riff!
really like the first break, really cool.
some really cool fx/pads in ur second break.
haha, i knew u'd throw a break beat in there somewhere.
love'n the hybrid'esk fx!
have some really cool bass synths near the end, really digg'n that.
overall really good track man ! |

Hey man this piece is really cool.. particularly the fx you've done in it.. really drives the track along heaps.
wasnt too much of a fan at the break section.. but the intro and little buildups were great :) |

| Brilliant stuff, mate :) This even exceeds Breaking Up The Wrong Tree, which I didn't think was possible. I can see the resemblance to David West, but your track is better than some of his best works I reckon. Great track!! |

When that first melody began, I was like "Wow, I really like that." It comes in about 2/5ths of the way in. I'm simply amazed because most people don't even make a song with a good melody, and you did!
What I think this song needs is a feeling of progression. One of the characteristics of trance is that you either get the feeling that the song is building energy or downplaying energy, or it's just trying to trick you out.
During the beginning of the first breakdown, you don't give much warning to it except a very small whoosh(what is this called?). If you made the transition a little more grand(bigger and longer whooshes) and lengthed out, it would improve the song.
*Sigh* I feel like I'm trying to correct a house song into a trance song. Is this really a house song? |

Thanks for the feedback guys. TOR: Glad to hear that I'm not a one-hit wonder anymore. ;)
I picked that xylophone sound because of how it fit into the mix, although Mr. Rogers, you are probably right, it's a pretty bland sound and perhaps during that initial intro I should have used a different sound, even if I stuck with the same one later in the mix.
Good comments in the other posts, thanks for taking the time to listen and critique, I appreciate it.
Cheers,
Aaron

hey digi:)
i have not indulged in one of your tracks before...
listening. - the sound is well mixed. very clean and balanced. i miss a harder kick maybe.
bass synth is indeed very generic ... hehe. i think a less preset one would improve the track so much.
i like the panning and efx.
this is great man. very experimental. reminds me a little of a demo track to show what a piece of equipment can do... in a good way. - prob because of the variation and all the interesting sounds and that bass sound!
the track is very glittery and fresh - hopefully i can get this clarity some day!
great work man |

Thanks for the review Rich. Demo track, heh, I can see what you mean, there are a lot of different sounds. For better or for worse, I never like to sit on the same theme for too long!
Cheers :)

Just awesome dude, absolutely wicked track. It's really one step above.
Nothing much else to add, it's perfect the way it is and I really enjoyed listening! Love the guitar in it too.
Ah no actually I have got something bad to say :) I didn't like the cheap as xylophone at the start. I guess you could say it adds to the amusement value of the song. :haha: |
