View this Thread in Original format MIKE333ACE This is my first ever attempt of proper mastering. This song was made in FL Studio 9 with a few added plugins and sample packs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBxZspC9SHE Please feel free to give any feedback, good or bad. Cheers :) (Original/ Un-mastered Version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CePUAQcYnVo) sicc I can here (atleast I think so) just about every sound you have going on pretty clearly, but it does seem a little muffled. Non the less, I really like that track, you got uplifting trance nailed!

Do you have a reverb or delay that is dominating the sounds down there on one of the synths? I would recommend experimenting a little bit with some more sidechaining on the bass synths and seeing how that sounds to you. Putting a separate high-pass filter on the delay/reverb of the bass synths could also help alleviate that problem. I like the melodies and chord progressions. Although, partially due to the fact that the song is so long, they get a little stale near the end. Try to shorten the buildup/breakdown a little bit and put little variations on the melodies and chords so that you keep the listener's interest.
