You're So Beautiful- Vox By Myst - Marius9

Description : This is my first attempt at mastering a track. It came out better than a lot of the tracks I have done, and Myst's vocals are always pleasant to listen to. I used auto-tune more to figure out what key the song was in, I have good relative pitch but not perfect, and I liked the way it sounded at 50% relaxed, so I left it, giving the vocals kind of an Eiffel 65 feel. In hindsight, I wish I would have automated the volume on the harmony vocals, but since I can't really mix on my pc at home (512mb RAM doesn't like Nexus plugins too much) there really isn't anything I can do about it until later. If anything, I'll go to my friend's house and automate it later, then put up an updated version.

Thanks again to Myst for the Acapellas, both of them.

Nice trancer Marius! Really cool pluck melody. I always love those man! Nice melody. I must ##### honest that I do dislike the off-beat bassline, but this work nicely anyway man. I like the space (something I can never get right). Other thing that I disliked was the vocals (only because I like to listen to trance [sub: melodies, progression, drums, etc] instead of the vocals). Still sounding good though, nothing to take away from the style (vocal-trance) because it sounds sweet and you've done a fantastic job!

That's all my friend. Nice track!

Thanks for the great review. I wasn't aware there was a distinction between trance and trance with vocals, I'll keep that in mind. I'm not sure what you mean by space, but thanks. I know what you mean about the off time bass line, but I'm not all that creative when it comes to bass lines, you'll notice the same bass line in almost every track, the only difference is what the notes are. Thanks again for the great review!

Thanks for the kind review and I agree, I also am not keen on autotune, but when you get a pella that's out of tune with the VST that you're using (I can hear conflicts with Nexus and certain frequencies, I don't know what it is), you have to find some way to correct it. I could have tightened the vst a lot to make it seem like there wasn't any autotune effect on it, but that's major cheating, in my opinion, since I already think autotune is cheating. Thanks again for the review!

Trance as a genre is really outside my area of expertise, so I'll tell you what works to my ear, and what doesn't quite.

First, the rhythm and synth do work beautifully. The "happiness" from that synth is really worth the price of admission here.

I'm not so sure about the vocals...there are times when it's really happening, but at others her voice gets a bit lost in the high end. I'm really not keen on Autotune, and I'm not sure if this is why I'm having trouble with the vocals. Maybe focusing on the end of the vocal cycles will give it that sense of 'tightness' it still needs.

That said, this is off to a great start and I'd say really successful in terms of a first mastering attempt. Kudos and keep having fun!

I appreciate the advice and encouragement. I always feel like I lose the kick drum in the mix, and that really didn't happen here, which is why I was reasonably satisfied. I agree, the vocals need some work, and an EQ, I think I'll go back in and remix the volumes when I get back to my friend's house.

firstly I gotta say trance aint my cup 'o tea but.. I liked this as much as I could trance.. those vocals need that high end trimmed at times they get a little too much also there are a few small timing issues at times... sorry probably not what you wanted to read but I have to be honest cause thats my style .. theres your review brother.. now remember to pass it on.. keep 'em coming

That's exactly what I wanted to read. I love when people can pinpoint problems in the track that I missed. I'll eq the vocals later this week, I didn't even think to do that, and I'll also put a volume automation on them. The timing issues are just lazyness on my part, plain and simple. I didn't want to chop all the vocals apart, so I left them as is and used the bpm from the acapella. Thanks again for the advice!

Description : EASE. Propella Head.

Dark atmosphere meets melodic lift in this upbeat roller from EASE. Deep bass and a driving groove keep the momentum moving, while the melody brings an emotional pull. Propella Head draws you into the shadows and keeps your feet moving.

Description : Heavy, but you can still dance to it. The kind of industrial from the Chicago Wax Trax era, bands like TKK. At least that's what I was aiming for.

Description : We used to ride all night thru downtown Chicago blasting Return to foever in Marks 72 Vega with 12" Ventura BIC speakers in the back that were chrystal clear. i was still too young to drive. Those were some of the greatest times I ever had I'll never forget that band the bandmates or those times. Mark out did himself on this Re-mix/Master. He also updated the Drums, makes the track feel brand new, even tho it's 4 years old.

PEACE...

Instead, here is the instrumental to the work. I'll put the uncensored version somewhere else.
