Kicks in trance are more thumping, I can hardly here this one. Kick is possibly most important part of the track, its the engine that pumps it along. Its what people in clubs respond to. A driving kick can make a trance tune... really got to emphasise that. I was once in a club, and the dj got a bit confused and played the outro of one tune, into the intro of another, and realised hed played it already, went into the intro of another....all along it was just a kick, a bass and some percussions... but everyone lived it. The basic elements are so important. You need to play around for ages with loops getting the kick, bass and percs all good, then think about making the rest of the track.
The mid bass sound is ok, but thinki of adding a sub.
THe pluck sound is ok, but trance has a lot of super saw sounds on top of it with a lot of delay and reverb to really drive it along. Think of adding more lead sounds.
Also think of adding pads, and strings.
Also instead of rising the volume of things. use cutoff filters, it has a more trancey feel and a better way to take and add elements. Automate them so it feels like the sounds are coming in and out.
Out of the break, there is some timing problems I cant put my finger on. Think a sample is out of sync.
a great tutorial is on u tube from John 00 Flemming. It is brilliant, and I highly advise watching it.
Im no expert in makig music, but I do knowe it takes a long time to learn all the tricks of this trade... my music gets better all the time, and when I graduate I will invest more time in this, as I would love to make music for a living.
