Guest prefer to remain anonymou Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 i can hear what you are trying to do in the beginning and it is a good idea but your implementation doesn't do your idea justice. your rhythms are a little muddled, the synth is a little too uninteresting, the sample is a bit out of phase and hard to hear. make the vocal sample louder and put weirder fx on it. i like your percussion that emerges. i has a nice alternating/counter-rhythmic effect. 1:100 i like your melodic overtones and how it works with your bass. i like the breakdown at 1:42. its has a nice energy. that synth line, though, as it keeps going, overpowers the rest of the mix later. 2:50 nice percussion interlude, again a good idea but the idea is better than your implementation. 3:05 nice groove building here. though it all sounds a little dry, not enough of a feeling of space, separation, or modulation of your sounds. 3:30 nice powerful groove here. keep this going more and open it up a bit, develop more. this is a dance track, right? 4:20 again you repeat a synth line (a different one) that is too dry, overpowering i like your bassline, simple and effective. 5:20 okay this is a good shift. nice work here. this brings a whole new energy to it all. you could run it through some effects and make it get a little more crazy but its still good. 6:00 still hearing that little line louder than anything else your snare drum is dry and uninteresting, not bright enough. the mix is generally a little too condensed, too packed in the lower registers. 7:00 i like that little subtle line that is emerging here oops the track seems over before coming to a complete conclusion overall you've done a nice job arranging and developing the track compositionally. you do a little too much drop-out stuff and not enough strong groove development and extension. it is your production and lack of effects, modulation, and space that makes the track suffer most. it is difficult for me to give feedback not knowing who you are, how you stand musically and technically, and how serious you are at producing pro trance. if you are just getting started, this is very good work and shows promise. however, it doesn't acheive the league of tracks that would be really playable at a party, nor the league of tracks that would be really interesting to listen to at home. you need to develop your sounds more, buy better synths or learn to use your current synths more deeply. you need to begin experimenting with fx, as these are IMHO many times half or more of what makes a successful sound. you also need to work on what sounds you choose to create your total mix, since your mix lacks space, clarity, definition, and impact. i hope i have done more help than harm. don't be discouraged, you should be proud of your track because its obvious you put work into it. i think you're obviously on the right track and i just want to help you move forward (not that i myself am some kind of guru or whatever, just giving honest help and feedback here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dajek Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 Thank you! This is the longest review I`ve ever had for my track, and it really helped me a lot! To say about my method of composing and "professionality" and how serious i am, i must say that I am serious. Ofcourse I cannot create proffessional tracks yet, I have NO HARDWARE AT ALL. I started making goa trance about year or two ago and started with a program called "soundclub". Well you acannot imagine how primitive this was! Then I went on using modplug fotr a year and now I`m using Buzz, but I`m learning more programs, I hope to get Reason and a proper version of cubase and finally buy some equipment. But, well, as long as I keep getting reviews from people who aren`t offensive, but helping with advice ölike you, I keep trying to develop a better sound and music! Thanks again...

Guest Dajek Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 Oh, one more thing! The end of the track is **** up because I uploaded it incompletely (my mistake...) The track is actually 8:44 long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
