I think it is nice. I like all the elements in there. Im no master at mixing and I am quite drunk atm but in my present state of mind it definetely works. It brings something different. |
I'm not a big room fan but this sounds big roomy to me, good job |

It's not the synths, it's the piano. (synths are slightly dischorded but in an acceptable range) It's reasonably muddled but the piano sounds like A base note with D6 + some other note dischorded.
It's that chorded note with D really mucking it up and it probably wouldn't sound good by itself either.
Underlying synth pads or w/e sound like they are C6 + B5 + A5 (+/- an octave), Try the piano on notes G5 / A5 / C6 / D6 / E6 in whatever order pleases you.
Can maybe piece together an example of this vague suggestion if you so desire, but it's quite hard to hear exactly what's going on without really being able to see the chord structure or synch up something on top of it. But playing the above mentioned notes on my piano in pretty much w/e order sounded reasonably right on top of the track.
Suggesting to try fixing piano, simplify the piano to single notes and listen again before trying to chord it. If still not jiving, maybe ditch the piano.
Hope that helps =/ |

You rock bro, will try to fix it up later and see what i can do. Thank for taking the time to help me out man.
I'm down for a sample if you have time, this is one of my all time favorite tracks and it would be cool to hear others take interest in it homey. |

Not quite sure I get what you mean, or what the goals for the track are. I did take the time to listen to the original, and it's quite nice. (Synaesthesia was a favorite of mine back in the day)
Was a slight pain trying to sync up my midi along with the soundcloud stream for fiddling around, but I found the basic notes/progressions that seems to mesh nicely with the track. Started with simple 4 bar pattern, added some variation and then a more complex pattern at the end. Nothing fancy by any means (not my track anyway :P), but hopefully is helpful in hearing more possible "in-tune" piano progressions.
http://www.mediafire.com/listen/loc...eq4x/pianoz.mp3
Sync'd at around 2:00 mark. Didn't seem too bad to make the piano jive, though it really didn't like any kind of additional chords. Could probably make them work but straight note progression would probably be the best bet if you plan on using piano.
Weird thing is, though it seems like the key is Gmaj, F# seems a rather sour note, so I'd steer away from it. |

| Darn that variation is killer, good job. I don't want to steal it but i'll come with my own. I want to impress steve hellstrip (thrillseekers) and get the vocals so i can put over the track. i know i'm not ready yet. |

Couldn't sleep, so here's something I've been working on for a good while. Any time I was pissed, I'd work on the content of this track. Was good stress relief.
Comments/Crits welcome.
Some background TL;DR :
Feels like I'm close. The mix is still fighting me though...was too reliant on using a multiband on the master bus when the track was made and undoing any of it is tedious. Arps still not sitting quite right.
Inb4 "Nexus bit stylez". Close, but not bit stylez, Init Sylenth1 modelled pluck with bit-crusher and nifty reverb. (much better)
Piano IS Nexus though (Nexus has sexy pianos) and solo was actually played improv on my Yammy K61. No quantizing after the break or nuttin'. Quite fun really, would recommend trying improv. playing on trance tracks.
Quasi james bond chords on the pads...oh well, they fit. Went for more baroque style chord structure. Minor and dark. |

Still sounds like a nexus preset. Don't know why you would put effort in recreating something that sounds bad anyways. |

Well you know what they say about opinions...
Cheers for the listen anyway. |
