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 bet 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!
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 : Big thanks to Justze3 who released the four loops to his drake ovo style piece because he didn't plan to finish it, challenge accepted. I would also like to thank LankFrampard for the extra drum loop and av3 for the sample "trapped" which gave a lot of extra feel to the song.
Description : I really liked ABOE Musics (looperman member) cinematic track so i give it a go and after many hours in last few days this is it.
My RMX of his great track. Maybe i tweak it more in future.
Really enjoyed in making it.
It's Trance-ish House i guess LOL.
Enjoy!
Love and peace.
Description : this song is the last i created. I wanted to remix the famous "the chase" from the movie "midnight express, i love the original sound! i don't know if the result is enough good but i'm proud to say that all has been composed by myself: the instrumental parts, the arrangements, melody, recording and mixing. I hope you'll enjoy it! don't hesitate to let a comment after listening :)
Description : Progressive song that I made a few weeks ago. Tried to make an uplifting sommer song. I know it is nothing original but like the flow in it.
Description : Used loops from MHYST trance sequence 8,2 and Goa. Dune 2 Vst. also thanks to Fibonacci 1.1618

Description : A relaxed Trance-Trible-Electro-Wave track. Feel the power of the alien tribe connection. Dance your dream or dream your dance. Just be part of the connection.
This is what you get when i try to make a Free Radical song.
In the end, it does not sound like something I've ever heard from him.
But it was, after all, a try.
Thus, it is not completely different, ´cause i have not sung this time.
And it is electronic music but .....
However, I like the resulting song. Hope you too. Only 1 sample was used here - Anubis-Anubis-Loop all the synth´s are played by me and i added some drumsounds with powerdrums2 played by myself Comments are sure welcome.
Description : A drum and bass, electronic something or other inspired track. The main Melodies taken from short loops I cut from some sessions my bro &e's recordings he had made at my location. I had been meaning to use his sounds for a minute and he said it would be cool. Finally did.

Description : Another attempt in my continuing efforts to learn how make a trance track. Is intended to have a vocal doing the melody. Would try to find a singer but need to work out lyrics first. For this track I tried to make the melody not too repetitive. I limited it to four bars max of the same melodic phrase.
Description : This is a remix with permission, which goes to a contest. Basically progressive house with trance elements. The download option will be avaiable after the contest closes.
Update: mastering and mixing redone! it should work, well hope so. Update 2: now it must work! no more compression (at leas I think), not really satisfied with the waveform, but maybe it`s okay! Thanks for the help people!
That's all my friend. Nice track!
great seq's again by the way....
