Description : *sigh* Several months after the experimental mixtape, this breakbeat/trance/chillout piece is still less than a minute long. Every time I try to go further, the composition seems to lose its energy and fall apart, like I can't make this track live up to the buildup that this intro has made. Any ideas?

One of my more complicated compositions, and one of the ones I'm more proud of, a ton of synth layers, and some nice sounding drums which I'm looking to develop too. Once I conquer the whole build up thing, this is gonna sound great.. until then, 50 second song anyone?

Thanks to N0mad23 for a great digeridoo loop which you can just about hear halfway through the track.

Love the super fast delay intro thingy.
Great melody.
Want to steal it.

K.
Here's my thoughts.

Take whatever the lowest note is on the melody line -- the first one?
and then count down seven notes to start on the 5th of the key.

I feel ... that i need a really good wuuuuuuummmmmmmmmbbbbbbbbbhphphphphph sounding bass... and nice sidechain kick snare pattern.

Being that this is right around 150bpm... I wanted instant DnB.. but I like that stuff..
But also.. I really felt a huge rock drum, but very much still trance?
That might be interesting.
I will make a loop and post it in a few.

Anyway, I don't know anything about music and I am an idiot actually lol.

Definitely let me know how this progresses!

I feel like I failed you, but I tried following the basic rhythm.. which for some reason I had a really difficult time following.. But you really need to think..

Like what does this mean?
What does "Into the sunset" mean?

If it's just, "Oh, well I came up with a cool progression, and it felt like 'into the sunset'"
That's not enough I would hope for you?
Altho... now writing that... I realize I am never satisfied with anything I do lol.

I want you to tell me a story?
Can you think of anything from a .. creative side that... would musically show me what it really means to you "Into the sunset"?

Anyhow.. I came up with this
it's at 150 BPM, and I tried to match it with a quick breakdown into the next part I heard in my head...

The title was a spur of the moment one, no thought into it whatsoever, so of course the title probably doesn't fit too well, but I have got plans to do lyrics for this one, so presuming I make some, I'll re-name the track with a more appropriate title.
I will be making a deeper bass for the drop, maybe turn this track into a slow DNB track (I tried it at 160 and 175, both sounded a little wierd).
The drumloop sounds pretty nice, sounds more like what I was going for.
I tried lowering the first note from a G to a C, but it sounds a little disharmonic and out of place, so I'm gonna end up keeping that the same.
Glad that you took the time to write such an in-depth review though, so thanks!

Dude, brilliant intro, i simply loved it =O
may i suggest you keep on building up for a bit more, and then drop a kick+bass on it, and go from there? usually for me, when i reach that part, a track just writes itself xD

I'll be waiting for the finished version ;)

I'm waiting for the finished version too, hopefully I'll actually get somewhere with it soon. I might make the buildup longer, although it may prove difficult or too slow, or I think I might just add a white noise sweep to move the track along.

Thanks for the review!

I think I can recall the first time you mentioned this track a while ago, unless im thinking of the wrong one, but im pretty sure its the same one.

I really like it so far, Id try working with bringing in a strong/up-front square synth at the 50 sec point. Somthing to bring out the rythm thats already there and trun it into more of a hard-hitting melody.

Anyways, thats my two-bits.

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.

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 : 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 : 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!
