Trance isn't really my thing but this is definitely high quality stuff, I really like the plucked melody and the whole atmosphere to the track makes me think of slow motion dancing in the rain or something :p
Nice work =D |

So gave this a good listen, intro sounds like waterfall.
Arrangement, i like it, it's progressive and all the ear candy delayed stuff is really nice.
It sounds like a vocoder is saying "back home from work" that sound is a bit too boomy for my ears, i would probably low cut that around 300hz or even higher, just try, but further not much to add here. really nice instruments
The mix, still some work to do here, the instruments are not yet EQ'd disctinct enough to my ears, the whole thing sounds quite conservative, not neccecarily "boxed" or "dull" just nothing really stands out yet, i tink cleaning up the low end for the "vocoder" will help, also the arpegiated piano type sound that does poom poom poom every 4 measures can use some glassy verb type attitude, probalby tuned a bit more towards a squary type sound.
The non vocoder bass can use a bit more space to my ears (maybe the percussion below will help create that)
last the percussion, i think there is still room to weed in the percussion parts (high pass around 300/400 and low pass some around 8k or so to bring back sparkle to the hats.
So overall great potential which i definately feel. The trick is now to make the mix shine, nothing really in there ATM that doesn't fit, all about balance and distinction from here. |
Great info and detail review my friend, huge tanks for you and we really appreciate your time you spend on this task - Awesome.
With any WIP work is always a danger to miss a lot of little things which are really important in final stages on any production --> and for that particular reason I was really undecided if we should or not show/upload this first cut of our upcoming track to SoundCloud.
Damn it and I/we did!!!!
Usually in first WIP we would like to show basic concept, direction we are taking this track to and this environment we trying to create for it ---> never worry about some serious mixing or mastering, just simple enough to capture, in aesthetic and simplified way, our idea/concept. We know that this first stage is missing some very important element which will/could impact drastically on overall listener impression but knowing that we will have some great info/reviews on it from TA members, completely outweighs those worries.
Going back to your review, this "vocoder" base bass line will definitely have some EQ and extra treatment on it and looks like is fighting with this pluck sound which is coming almost in the same time. We also will work on dynamics and drive + more melody development just because for me music should be drug lol ---> more you listen more you love it, is like sucking you in, more and more every time you listen to it lol.
Thank you one more time for your great and in depth review my friend!
Cheers from Seattle,

| Dreamy! Excellent isolation of the frequencies in your perc and fitting them in the mix... I feel like the FX could be a little bit more back in the mix. Very nice bass synth. I also feel like the kick could come out a little more. Overall pretty good stuff man! |

i like this one, i gotta say your skills have vastly improved night and day since i last checked your soundcloud.
I personally would put a band pass on that synth swell introduced at around 1:00 though, might be just my ears though... |
