Whats up people. This track is an experimental trance song from my point of view. Hope someone gives it a listen , some feedback would really help.
Its being done on Fl Studio 8. Using instruments like zeta, vanguard, albino, 3xosc, ms-20.

If any other questions arise i would be happy to share what i know .

You certainly have a good batch of elements for the track. Some nice notation and automation on your bass and synths. Perhaps could do with a few more percs and a few additional layers to pad out it out a bit more.

The arrangement so far works well, some good movement.

I think the main need for attention is within the mix down itself. Levels are still awkward and not quite right. The bass has empty gaps which need filling out and the hats are very piercing. Side chaining on the volume using the envelope controller in FL is always a good trick for hats & percussion.

Concentrate on your EQ and getting the parts to sit correctly in the mix and you will find it easier to pick out what else needs to built to complete the track!

Thanks for The feedback,
I honestly think it needs better mastering and eqing, thats always the most difficult part of the process.
I actually just quickly mastered it with a Tracks preset.

Id have a new version of it up by today.

cheers,

let me critique some of your stuff :)

Cool beans dude.

Don't get caught up in thinking that mastering sorts out EQ levels.

Mastering is generally very transparent. It's The EQ work done on the mixdown which is the most important stage :)
