In general, it's great!
But! The kick is way too weak, and the bass needs more punch, before i'd give it a go on a club system (which i otherwise definetly (!!!) would!
If you can make the kick&bass better, i'll give it a spin next weekend for sure! |

Wow! This is really a great track! Very clear mix! I wish I could get my stuff this clear. Just out of curiosity, how many tracks do you have going on at once in this tune? I think I may be trying to put too much stuff together that ends up competing for space.
Very nice and ethereal break. Love it!! |

Hey nxx!
Youre a very productive guy ;) ... lets see what you got for us now...
First of all the bass and the kick dont seem to harmonize that well, the kick could punch through the bass a little more, maybe sidechaining and shorter bass notes could help.
Nice stereo imaging of the hihats. Lacking some kind of snare or another lower percussive element.
Wonderful breakdown! This is some really stellar atmosphere.
That arpeggio all the time gets a little annoying I think :P
at 5:00 you show you know how to layer stuff! Great!
And then its already building down :(
As someone mentioned before, very clear mix, good job on that! You really progressed on mixing. Keep up the good hard work :) |

This track seams to be good, will have a listen and give my comments:
* The kick needs some more power, It is good but it definittly needs some power to be able to punch thru this track. Maybe stack 5-6 kicks atop of eachother.
* The bass is cool, but you need to vary it more. Make the notes randomly a little shorter. That should spice up the track.
* Rhythmics man you gotta make more of 'em. You are using a nice pianoish sound quantized to 8ths. It matches with the 16th arpeggio, but it makes the track dull.
* Percussion. Where is it? This could need some intriging percussions to live it up even more.
My rule of thumb when I'm producing trance: The bass, melody and backing melody should allways collaborate to drive the track forward, You've done this in a standard way, but you can push it even further. Try to punctuate the piano slightly. Maybe enhance the arpeggio by a little now and then drop out one 16th and in the next 16th squash them together into 2 32nd notes. Maybe even in someplace step up to 16th 3plets. Use syncopated notes more as you do with the bass.
Overall I love this track, but it is damn dull and vague.Everyone has done this before. You can bring it lightyears further, I know that. Rating 4/10 |

this is definatly your best tune so far! i love the breakdown, the pads are awesome.. very uplifting yet emotional i got goosebumps all over:p
maybe try and use a harder kick.. or EQ the tune that the synths are not over powering the kick and percussions. otherwise great tune! 8/10.
