Description : A little bit of an experiment I did with fl studio's strumizer and arpeggiator tools, and it sounded a bit dull, so I remixed it and now it sounds a lot better. I used the vst plugin Tone2 Gladiator 2 for the bass and the pad, I used refx for those chimes (which was originally a piano) in the middle and at the end, and also for the drums (with the exception of the kick which was fl's fruit kick) and I also used Nexus for the sweeps.

I spent a good amount of time on this track so please take time to review my song.

This song was heavily inspired by above and beyond (especially the intro) and also is inspired by some amazing piano artists on youtube.

Enjoy!

As the other have already said so often and so well, another great track, my friend.

Love the ride (but I may have gotten whiplash from banging my head to that bass, lol)

Really nice stephen. your mixing skills are really top notch for someone so young. you got alot of potential. wish i was that good at your age lol all i did was make tracks from nothing but loops. and amongst other things that distracted from me from getting any better at it. anyways this a great track man, remember just be yourself, dont worry about what other people say, they dont have the right to judge. well done.

and what do you compose with by the way, if i havent asked already

This song doesn't really compliment my mixing skills too much though, it clips a fair amount, and I will worry about what others say so I can improve.

I'm using FL9 and a lot of VST plugins, and I've been using it for about two years now.

Thanks for the review!

I felt like reviewing a new track of yours ste!
but I already reviewed your 2 newest tracks so I now choose this one...

Like KoolKyle said, this is a classic trance track that's nice!
But I can also hear a nice dembow type pattern in it (which I'm kinda getting addicted to...)

One piece of advice:
I can hear at the beginning that you used the Fruit Kick, which is nice, but there's also still a tiny bit of 'click' in it..
I THINK it would be better if you put that clicky, snappy bit all the way off....

peace ste!

I got a new track up as well, check it out plz!

I've got plans to remake this track, so all the flaws in this track should get wroked out soon :)

In fact.. what I might do, is remake a load of older tracks and mix them all together..

But thanks for the review!

this is great classic trance good work man how do you master it sounds like you have maxed it you should try a compressor the kick is far too punchy but all in all this is a good track :D
StephenPotter
StephenPotter replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
I didn't use a compressore before this track, but I do now, and I still need to learn how to use the peak controller, but once I do, its going to be a lot better.

Thanks for the review!

hey Stephen4705, thanks for stoppin' by and checking out my collab with jfw, one of the more interesting musicians on this site, check him out when you can..we also did a cinematic venture together that you might enjoy!...i like what you've done with this track, I can tell you are good at developing your melodic ideas and the track arrangement as a whole...nice sounds and textures, dig the synthy-piano like melodic line you keep coming back, helps to anchor the piece I think!..be back when I can to check you out again man..I'm in the middle of a lot of original tracks and remixes at the moment....:)

Yeah sure, I'll check out JFW because he seems like he might make some prety amazing tracks.

I'm glad you enjoyed the song, it seems to be one of the more popular ones I've done, but its the first song I uploaded to the site.

Thanks for dropping by to add the review!

I enjoy cerebral trance and this definitely fits that need. The melodies are not cliche but are instead very unexpected in a positive way. The chord progressions are interesting and the way you layer the chimes sound on top of the other sounds (the slower chimes with the faster sounds) adds not only another layer of sound but also an interesting layer of tempo. It is contemplative trance that generates as much thought as was put into it. I enjoyed the listen. Kper

You've done a great job with this track! I really liked the intro, it led into the main sections very well. Those chimes are great, and they're not what I'm used to hearing on a trance track. This track is full of good feelings! Nice one!
