Hmm - VERY ...nice.

1. For like 2 min I was waiting for a let off - and then I figured out that the lead was goin to be without a clap I could here or some hat in the place of mind - So main maybe fill in those spaces because I was feelin some space add those claps and ur there.

2. This was not organized like a trance piece - my advice again is too not begin with just a pad for an intro - bring something else in to the mix, like a atmosphere let in, or rev kick, u know something fresh, that way it doesnt sound cut and pasty. ( the song wasnt cut and pasty just that part of the intro ).

3.Evolve that melody - pro tools man. but man that ending u need to make a little less abrupt - BUT I must admit man, that sound at 38secs , I cant explain it BUT it is freakin harmonious - I love it dude.

Maybe later u can show how u made it - but anyway nice job.

Hmm theres a possibility.

1. Well first off man - the intro with the main melody - STAY away from that - seriously it can take away a lot of suspense in a song. Do what the pros do - give a little at first and then at the pad break bring it all in - or "reel it in" as its commonly called - IT destroys receptivity. - Have a question about that just contact me.

2. So yea - transitions were moderate but not too awesome - they can be - those revers cymbal u had man - clean em up and ADD some more reverb - makes things sound super trancy.

3. That piano = good call. BUT I think u should have made it fade in - remember effects - make it happen.

4. The piece was a bit loose - so thing is - U NEED one thing - a sweep - yeah. My advice man go get 3osc add a sweep and side-chain it to kingdom come.

So yea man - with reviews like this and other help becoming a mjor dj will/should be easy.

ChasingPresence responds:

again, this isnt a finished song. Thanks for the advice, but again I havent finished yet so I havent added a sweep. If you look at my other songs, you will see I use sweeps in all of them.

Very creative.

1. So yea man, very creative with ur intro likin the background sweep down, but had a twitch with some of ur transitions or lack thereof. Like at 3:15 - u brought in that sweep - good - however I feel like that breakbeat let in was not as needed , and u could have possibly add a stronger sweep with a little more energy - like add some more db and phase it ( with the power of a reverb kick ).

2. Remember that pad break - yea the piano solo was ok - but not as awesome as I know it could have been - maybe lose some of the melody tones and add some more pauses = the problem could be fixed easily .
First off - evolve ur melody, dont give away every note in ur melody from the beginning , let a little go , and thats it - and then let up for the rest in ur pad break - THE pros do it man, IT WORKS>

So thats it man - I hope my stuff makes sense.

ArcaneSoul responds:

1st does. I was kind of trying out these new fills during those parts so that it was the transitions didnt kind of sound good ^_^;

As for the second, i can kind of see where you are going with that? but not really.

I know im bad with solos (which i usually am) so forgive me for that.

Nice man.

1. Heavy electroments real loud - like a party trak - but maybe make a stronger intro - .

2. Maybe evolve the melody u know what I mean ? - I meen this being dancy trance and all - u might beg to differ.

all and all I have no big complaints.

MashedByMachines responds:

yeah im no good with intros =) thanks

Dude - this is really uplifting - likin it.

1. Everything was super clean man - however , remember that pluck near the middle , it was kind of low - maybe add some db power to it.

2. Drops make the pop man. Some testy drops would have made this sound even better man - blow up some rev kicks, or some massive sweeps.

3. THE melody I love man, but hey the peice was like loose - as in it needed some low white noise maybe add some sweeps side-chained - this is total preference - .

4. Last BUT not the least - that ENDING DUDE - something a little less abrupt -I know u might not have been goin for a progressing piece but maybe decay the piece with some fade outs - like that beat and pad.

So yea man - cool piece some tiny attention getters but notin too big.

Keegs responds:

Loving the feedback, man! :D

I originally had a fade-out like you suggested but I was just so unimpressed with it, so I ended with a coda instead. Not 100% happy with it either but it was better than what I had down before xD

Glad you liked it! I have more on the way :p

DISCLAIMER = NOT BEING BOSSY JUST HELPFUL ;)

Yeah this was a clean piece - say some things I liked - namely the rhythm and the percs u had. However there are some things I think should be looked at man.

1. So yea intro-ing, with simple hats by them selves not always the best way to go - my suggestion would be add a nice sweep u like and the transit that sweep with those hats and go from there.

2. Also maybe add some other transitions - I mean the reverse cymbal with some flanger was cool and all, but maybe add some else after that - like a reverb kick, or even better a bass pause with a sweep - yeah.... thats pro.

3. And o yea- at 2:30 there seems some sort of fuzzy ness thats not too nice fo the ears so maybe check that one, u could buffer that with - sidechained sweep I HIGHLY recommend.

4. So that pad break u had - I heard a bit of dissonance in it - some bad vibes with the pad and the swaped stereo string of kicks ( or watever that was )- in conjunction that abrupt let up to lead was a bit - rough - maybe clean it up by makin it fade in - ya feel?

So yea - man great idea - just a little more tidying up - it happens.

Destroyerrrr responds:

Thanks Pulsar you rock with these really constructive comments. They'll help me make better music.

If u were goin for a trance sound - maybe u should have made another track - this sounds way too electro house or dubby. But hey it was some nice mixing - however remember those transitions - they need some more energy - ( reverb )

landon91 responds:

I know what you mean, I just was not sure what genre to place this under. And it was inspired by Infected Mushroom who do a lot of trance. I will be sure to mess around with reverb to get more energy into the transitions. Thanks for the review, and glad you liked it.

Im not a hard - trance kinda guy - but this is totally some good hardtrance - mixing was clean - I can tell ur pretty creative man.

Slick - sounds like some great trance - pad break could have been better - but hey - no biggie. Also remember that pluck - maybe you know change it during the pad break - make a better feeling.

Im sitting here thinking - once again - its repetitive, but thats ok. However I would have expected a larger atmosphere in the beginning - but u certainly made up for it later on. And I was impressed with that "epic" style pad break - reminds me of John O.
