I definitely agree'd with the kick though...Even with my sub crossover rolled off between 150-80hz the kick thumps a bit better. |
Personally, I find most of the kicks to have the "thumping" somewhere as low as 60< hz depending the tightness and dryness of the waweform. I tend to save the 80< hz usually for mono low bass to amp it up just a lil bit more, and still have pretty lenghty sub on kick. Second important area for me is the ~250hz area (its pretty precise). It widens the sub kick nicely, to pack the needed "thumping".
But remember that bad sample is a bad sample and no matter of the processing, you wont get it to sound THAT great. Learnt it the hard way.
These are just personal prefrences offcourse.
In your track it still feels a bit flat and your bass seems to overpower it lil bit. I mean like the sub peak feels like its more powerful on the bass than your kick. If you have no sidechain in the bass i suggest you (maybe?) add one, or if you have check the threshold and A/R.
Composition vise you have some clever portamento/gliding thing going on but over 2:40 mix gets lil messy, when everything is going on at once.

I liked your last one more, but your percs are great. Maybe i'm not just as used to oldschool sounds (especially the kicks), but some sounds seems lil bit out of stock, but i think thats what your aiming for?
----------------
Composition vise its doing okay i guess, but i cant seem to get a grip on the lead. Either its too on the top or too much on the background. I might change it completely. The returns delays on the piano are also lil out of place it seems. AND the bass in the breakdown is single layer, I should prob add more. |

I have to agree with whats been said already, you need a stronger kick to punch through and drive the track!

I really like this. You can hear the bottom and the top line of the bass but it's really lacking some mids. Good mix overall and nice sounds!
I've been trying to get into logic again lately and came up with this, a bit slower than my usual stuff. It needs a vocal or something maybe?
Edit: changed hats |

This is quite interesting take on Melodic Trance my friend - like where you going with this track - sound really sweet/nice with some low movement in it - exactly what I like lol ;)
Cheers man,

So, this is my first attempt at a prog trance type track. Not sure where to go from here really. There is something about the percussion I don't like yet I can't really put my finger on it. Need other peoples ears!
EDIT: Updated the track, thanks for the feedback guys some really good advice :)

I like 0:00 to the breakdown, and 3:03 till the end. Everything in between, not my style...
Your mix to me, sounds little too dark. I feel that it's keeping the song from sounding as exciting as it can be. It seems to be more of balance/levels thing rather than bad eq. I would make the kick less in your face like nothing else matters, and give the rest of elements a boost. |

i like this apart from that snare sound |
I'm not crazy about the drum sounds in general. I like the idea of breaks tho. :) |

Thanks for the comments guys!
