Sound design is really good to me. Overall it sounds very nice. My main advice would be to give more variation. the main theme seems to repeat through out the track right now. |

Appreciate the feedback as always Trancelover, though my previous comment wasn't meant as a childish jab at getting someone to post on my "overlooked" track. (thanks for making me feel bad now :P) I just think berating someone for something silly like that in a 130+ page threadnaught where not everyone is adhering to original rules anyway is well... silly.
Lack of feedback isn't quite as good as feedback, but it's still motivation to push harder...
As to what you posted, that is a decision I'm struggling with. For active listening, yeah it's kinda bad/boring. But when under particular influences and just lost in my own head, it's kinda nice to have the repetition with the slow filter modulation. The pads could probably use an 8 bar alteration, and maybe the arps...The bass i'd like to keep droney, and ducking it to the back might cut down on the sameyness.
Tried to use filtering and subtle sweeps as well as a varied drum-kit to hold interest until the build, though it's not such a cut and dry hook.
With the intended sameyness...what would really do it is some proper sound FX tastefully laced into it, and I'm still in the process of hunting something suitable down, though it's proving difficult to find any reasonably good soundFX samples, let alone make my own. lead/bass/arp design seems like cakewalk compared to proper SoundFX design.
Anyway, thanks again <3 |

hope you guys don't mind stuff other than trance, I put this together in about an hour and I'm liking it so far, might be the first track I've finished in about 3 years. the structure will probably be different when it's finished, I'm just making sure each component works together for now.
I was going for a Flying Lotus kind of sound at the end with the off-beat percussion line, that's the one part I'm not sure about but I think it sounds pretty good, what do you guys think? |

Like the groove of this. The overdriven pad in the back is nice too.
Good sound selection.
The one thing I'd try is maybe some slight seperation for the hi-hats to provide a little space for the mix. Listening with headphones and most of the beat sits dead-center. Really noticeable at 1:15.
Nice overall though, look forward to hearing the final mixdown. Gl. |

quite like this! wasnt really working until the lead sound came in - and then it started to groove nicely
I am hearing a slight harshness in the upper mids, not sure if its the last hat that was brought in maybe? |

@theterran - main flaw for me is the kick doesnt have enough low-end, was waiting for it to drop in but it never happened
The rest of the track is nice, like the arp and the mood of the track |

Awsome sick groove you'v got, like it very much.

For some reason I feel like I should stick to the base and keep it simple with maybe some vocal. |
Very warm and soothing, groove is nice as always. |

Could probably sneak a little more low-end in there. Still adjusting to my proper monitoring setup...so I can actually hear dat bass now.

I've listened to this a few times and it grew on me. I agree maybe the beats could be a bit better but I love the synths and melody. |

I'm pleased with this WIP so far. Am planning to find and pay a decent vocalist for it.
Any crits welcome.
