Description : I'm glad to say I got my laptop working again. I spent all day to make two minutes of this song, across my computer and my laptop. I actually can use 3xosc for a variety of things. I used it for the grainy pad in the beginning of this one, and used WASP for the chorded melody, the drums, as always, are made with kore player, the bass was made with genesis and the typical trance build melody was with gladiator 2.

So far this song has taken about 10 hours, and I'm gonna spend a lot more time on this one, because I think it has a ton of potential in this one and I'm not about to let something as precious as this go to waste.

Sorry, no downloads at the moment! I'm planning on making an album and this will be on it if I can make one.

Yea definately make the beginning a little shorter. Unfortunately and I do it to....alot of money making tracks have they're point made in the 1st 2 mins.
Thats said wicked little listen. Brought back the old skool trance loved up days for me, and wapped it into a lusheous moving melody.
Well Done indeed boyo

Your probably right, I should probably shorten this one a bit, or just lengthen it out so that it feels more like a full track. definately glad you liked it, will check out some of your stuff.

Sorry for the late reply, the loops been down, and so has my internet.

Absolutelysick break down. that being said although the grainy intro was cool maybe a shorter or more varied intro would work better. idk, id like to hear more from you def. any of the stuff u using free?
StephenPotter
StephenPotter replied Unknown
I'm thinking about cutting the intro down to 32 bars (going straight to the melody you hear before the drums) so you can get to the breakdown in about a minute rather than two.

Most of my tracks are up for download, except the ones which are unfinished or demos.

Thanks for the review!

Some Really nice melodic stuff going on there my man! that WASP synth is a beaut by the sound of it, I'll have to check it out. Would love to do a breaks mix of this track if you're interested, got a few nice idea's already, real Hybrid style.
Let me know anyway man.
Keep up the good work!
StephenPotter
StephenPotter replied Unknown
I'm planning on finishing this up myself before I send this to anyone else now, (as in, I'm gonna make a full length track: Possibly 6 or 7 minutes long)

WASP is a vst built into fl studio, I'm not too sure, but you might be able to buy it off imageline.com.

Thanks for the review!

Yeah I know, I'm sorry. Thats why I called it a demo, to say that the tracks still a work in progress, and still not finished. I really want to finish this one but I don't want to ruin the track.

Very nice smooth trance track you have here. Its not traditional and I guess that's what I like about it. Its almost a bit too short though for me. Would love to see you extend it and add in some solo breakdowns for some of the sounds and then build back up from there. But overall a class job! Really enjoyed listening :)
StephenPotter
StephenPotter replied Unknown
I think I might take this one down a more traditional route, I'm thinking of extending the intro and adding some proper drums, and I may even change all the sounds to more suitable ones.

So basically I may completely start again with this one.

I'm glad you enjoyed the track though.

Thanks for the review!

Nice man, I really like the intro for this track you really get a feel when the drums kick in. I'm curios to see where this track goes. Nice atmosphere and cool sounds melodic and ambient. Sounding good bro...Keep me posted when you finish this sucker up...Blume:)

If I update it, I'll let you know, its a hard melody to work with though if you ask me :P

yo Ste, what up fam'...

EXCELLENT TRACK YOU got goin' here...
i checked out your forum post thought
i'd drop by and see what i can do to help...

SERIOUS POTENTIAL in this one...
LOVIN' that synth melody you got going
after the intro...
just relaxes me to the max...
good use of vol. automation too!

YOUR DRUMS PATTERNS off the CHAIN!
yup yup Bass is BANGIN' too...
perhaps a tad bit louder might be
better imo, BUT

OVERALL this is SICK!!

and i can't find much advice to give
ya, this is EXCELLENT!

KEEP GRINDIN' my man!

Much Respect from LA
StephenPotter
StephenPotter replied Unknown
Glad that you enjoyed the track, The melody after the intro took me the longest, the pad and fast melody didn't take me too long. The bass is Ummet ozcans genesis- I reccomend you look for a copy of computer music magazine, its on every disc after issue 154 I think.

Thanks for the review and the fav!

yeah wow. this has got great potential. The intro (as stated) is totally priceless very epic sounding and intriguing. I luved it!
Not sure why you put this in Trance as the Dkit is more Chill/Electronic style unless you plan to go Trance with it? But either way I luv the build up and all the synth sounds. can't wait for the finished product yo! :)

Hey Ste

Mate this is one very special piece, liking the pad at the start, to me sounds like a cat purring with content, very ambient feeling to this one, I would say more ambient then trance, nice beat and very nice synths, talent plus matey,one of the bright stars for the future, top stuff my friend...Fav'd...Peace dude...Estefano...

I always thought the pad sounded like a vocoded helicopter, but your description sounds better :P

Sorry, I wanted to listen to this yesterday only but my internet didn't allowed me to do so. Glad to know your laptop is now fixed. OK let me start, intro grainy pad is superb. Then that Rhodes type of thing adds good ambiance to this track. Overall everything is top notch. I just hope that you are going to make it a bit longer because this one has got great potential. I am also happy to know that you are planning some album...Good Luck with that.
StephenPotter
StephenPotter replied Unknown
Believe it or not, the pad is actually 3xOsc, just tweaked a little, and the rhodes is actually WASP, again, tweaking the sound.

Not too sure about the album thing, but I think its about time I start trying to do something.

I've already started working on this track again, even though I just got back off holiday.

Thanks for the review!

I'm glad you enjoyed it Joyful. I may need to re-catagorise the genre, I'm not too sure if this is a trance song, but I'm keeping it the same for now, cos I don't know what else this would go under.

Thanks for the review!

Wow there are some beautiful sounds in this track, I really dig it! I really like that arpeggio sound a lot! Awesome bass line! Interesting percussion, it has an almost jazzy vibe to it. Anyway, nice track so far!

The purcussion is a sample based drumkit in kore player. Normally I go for an analogue drumkit but it didn't feel right in this track. I'm glad you enjoyed the track, and thank you again for another review!

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 : 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 : Would you be at all surprised if I told you this was a Trance edit of And Then She Left Me Again? Didn't do a whole lot to it. Just changed the bpm to 138, swapped out the drums and slightly changed the drop. That's all I've had time to do since I uploaded the house/techno version. Originally this was going to be DnB edit but I got tired of trying to find the perfect kick and percs
