So, this is my first finished trance track...
I'm not really good with those genres, but I guess it's uplifting trance.
What do you think? Say whatever you want. I know I'm a noob! :P
in love it lad... Sounds perfect... my only critisism.. well its not really critisism jus more how it would sound good to my ear if ya dont mind me sayin is that i would put the piano rythm down a key tone.... dont get me wrong its good... just if it was down a town .. it would give the song a more deeper touch.. and the deeper the song the bigger the rush

Hi,
firstly i'd lower the piano volume, really drowns everything out. Your pads sounds abit muddy, try low cutting. Your structure is pretty good, and the melody is nice.

Ok guys, thanks for the feedback! :)

I like it. As former poster mentioned, the piano in the beginning is a bit too loud. Maybe you need to cut som of the low freq also on the piano. All in all i think it sounds pretty solid. A bit murky at some parts perhaps.
Also, I was waiting for something a bit more punchy. I feel it lacks a klimax. But thats just me probably. I'm defenately no pro!

As been sad above, the mix needs some work done on eq'ing and compressing.
It sounds like you haven't done that yet, or not in the right way.
Watch some youtube vids about that, it will help you a lot!
Melody is great btw :).

Thanks for the reply! :D
Havi

What is you goal with this song? The reason why I ask is to save you a lot of trouble down the line (and waste a lot of time like I did). If your goal is to have fun or make a track purely for the enjoyment of making music, than there isn't anything wrong with the concept of the song in general.
However, if your goal is to have your music signed or played by DJ's than this song is wrong right out of the gate. I am no professional producer but am just giving my humble and friendly advice.
About 3 years ago I had an FL Studio project file full of these types of songs. I hadn't even really been listening to any current EDM. Then, I listened to Bart Claessen - Hartseer and really started listening to top tier, and I stress CURRENT, edm songs in general. While it might seem obvious to people who are good producers, when you are first starting out it is hard to hear the difference in your own song, especially when there is glimmers or talent, originality and pretty melodies and a pro's massive festival dominating song (too close to the trees to see the forest, or something). When I started really listening and taking apart tracks, I could tell what was wrong with my song, piece by piece, but couldn't figure out how to fix it.
The song in general just has an old feel to it. The drums sound like a 90's trance song as does the bass. Uplifting really isn't that in demand anymore but what uplifting there is is more powerful. Also, the synths sound simple and out of date. Arps are tempting but you rarely hear arps anymore.
The song has glimmers of talent for a first song. The melody for what it is isn't bad and a decade ago this song might have sounded a lot better. Listen to a lot of current tracks of the style you want to make. Dissect the songs and try to emulate them. This is a good effort for a first track so don't give up but be realistic.

I have no goal.. I just made it for enjoyment. :)

I enjoyed it :) You should work on your mixing in the future but you probably already know that. I like the oldschool feel and it sure was uplifting.
