I'm liking what i'm hearing here. The intro was great and the main riff is blinding. The mix quality is all on point and you've got some really good ideas going on.
I always seem to be impressed with the stuff you put together. What software are you using?
Definitely a fav and a download.

Hey man

Very nice chilled type of trance, good beat and bass, very nice synths used in the mix, clarity and mix sounds great, guessing only thing I would add if I was doing this piece, would be to add strings or pad in the background, just so you get them coming through without over powering anything else in the mix, just to help convey more emotion also would help a little with the flow of the piece, minor thing really, thoroughly enjoy listening to this one...Fav...Peace n Respect...Mosaic...

Thank you for the nice comment. I ink adding some bag round noise at a lower db would probably help this track come alive as well

This is a nice little piece. It has a classic trance feel to it. In my opinion, it could use some pads in the background to help, not only carry the melodies, but to really help build the emotions you're trying to convey. I really like the way you incorporated the orchestral effects in a few of your dubstep tracks. Using the same concept here would make this a much larger and more powerful piece. Not necessarily with the orchestal, but that soft, sustained element behind the gated arps. The melody is kind of a dreamy, almost whimsical one. Maybe adding a few sweeps in some strategic places would also help give it some dynamics.

All in all, a good piece, man. Take care.

This time I tried to go for a full on orthadox song which is unlike my usual orchestra style .i think I may just stick to orestra sounding stuff as this seems to be the most natural for me. Thanks for the advice my friend. Look reword to hearing more of you stuff as we'll.

This is very nice song, cool melodies, smooth transitions, powerful drums... Just everything trance song needs. That lead at 2:08 really fit nice there! I really enjoyed this one, keep 'em coming :)

Well I guess the arpy thingy coming in at 1.18 could use a more consistent volume, also the drums seem to wobble a bit in volume (maybe another sound pushes it in?)
For the drums that would make sidechaining them an easy fix (but I can hear some sidechaining already so not sure if it is that)

For the main synth I guess stereorizing it would do really good and boosting the mid frequencies ;)

That is it for the constructive feedback I think

About the track itself, it has some real potential and I like the progressions you did in there. It really makes up for an interesting song, I hope you keep them coming and maybe up the level with the advice from me and others

If you need help with the mixing/mastering you can pm me at any time :)

Love the main synth line you have running through out the track. Has a really good vibe to it. Sorry cant give any tips on the arr. and mix. This isnt my genre and Im still learning the game myself, lol.

But a collab intrigues me. I sent a PM

Great work. Peace

Lyrics are literally just an absolutely abrasive and unrecognizable part of the verse to John Lennon's Working Class Hero which
illuminates my bullying more than any song I have come across ever.

I named it bandit as a sort of that's what you get to society for people like me

Description : I wanted to create something similar to Celldweller's songs, but with a more upbeat vibe. :P

I created the vocals while benchmarking the vocal capabilities of various AI models: sound effects, transitions, etc. Modern AI models have already been reduced, so they won't be able to do that (I tried).

I used Audacity/OpenMPT (also audio2audio).

Description : I'm continuing the 'Unfiltered' Vol. 1 series, this is track 2.

Same as with track 1, i'm on the electric guitar/Squier Affinity series Stratocaster, drums and bass only in the beat, i kept percussion to a minimum to not distract from the guitar too much.

Made/recorded/performed in Reason 13.

Feedback is appreciated.
