Krvst 1.1 - A metalheads first (serious) attempt at a trance song...

Ok...so I am a seasoned death/black metalhead (for over 15 years) who got introduced to trance through a very close friend. I checked out a few trance bands and I discovered that "trance" can also be dark/heavy/atmospheric as death or black metal.
While I have my own metal projects going on, I took some time off, to create a trance song using FL studio. Trance bands such as Skazi and Astral Projection have been my biggest influences... mainly due to their darker sound...compared to other "party" sounding bands. (Ok, so they probably dance to Skazi and AP as well, but spare me, Im new to this!)
Anyway, heres that track that I made... Ive stuck to the song structures that Im more "used to". I stuck to 4-5 synths that I liked and tweaked the #$%$ out of them throughout the song. It may not be the most professional, but Id still appreciate some kind of honest feedback... :D
Here you go...

Plz use soundcloud or something less spam/link infested in lieu of giving all of our computers the herpaderpes plzkthxbai. :D
Interesting start, Sounds very much like GOA / Psytrance..
The bad :
Hats are badly aliased. Seems overly pumped. The sub-bass does not play nicely with your other synths and muddy's the track.
You may want to look into hearing more of said Psy/GOA for some ideas on what it sounds like / how it's mixed and how they progress through their tracks...
The track itself sounds very badly clipped as well. What DAW are you using out of curiousity? (I'm guessing FL Studio :D)
The good :
I like the dark atmosphere and synths used sans the bass. (needs EQ'ing/Compression work done to it)
Kick is solid from what I can hear. Overall good atmosphere.
My final thoughts : Could use more percussion, and more work on mixing/musicality. I.E. You should have something to say with your track, without saying the same thing over and over and over.
I believe there's a line between repetition and simple copy-pasting of sequences to make the track longer, and this is leaning more towards the later.
Good luck with the track and feel free to take my criticism with a grain of salt (you asked for honesty :P)
I'd like to hear this with some moar work put into it :D. |

Thanks for the feedback!
Im now kinda feeling the hats are sounding flat. What exactly do you mean by sub bass? The continuously rumbling bass in the background? (Not too familiar with terms)
Appreciate what you had to say, Ill keep your points in mind for the next attempt. |
