yo, mean track bro. not really my sort of music so i cant offer you much advice sorry, but the changeups all fit together well, sounds like uve got a good bass range in there too (iv only got computer speakers at the moment, but i think i can hear some sub). dees track bud keep on it
Way to go homie! Nice ripper... And you'r right bout it all, you pushed my ears all the way out to the limits. beautiful melody, driven at around 250 mph on the autobahn! Feels sweet! Like the build ups through out and the the overall syncopation.
Like a fwe others I'd check some levels here and there, not sure if it's the bass distortion clipping, prolly not the kick, but something is cancelling out in there. Pretty damn cool though man.
This isnt my first song to listen to of yours. I really like your sample choice. its very original. and the overtones match everything... many different perspectives.... i try for that in my music as well.... great drop offs. nice package.
Fatten up the bass, layer with some other sounds. Put rides on every kick too, then claps on every other, and hi hats in between. At one point it gets too loud it starts to really clip. Definitly got potential. I can help you with all things hardcore, I am about to have my first hardcore release so I am getting pretty good now. What synths were you using?
I guess layering would add some depth, the bass was pretty loud already though so im not 100%. I did have claps on every other beat in certain sections to add vareity. I do see your point about the clipping though, i did notice that. Fortunatly it didnt clip too much so i was ok this time but i should watch my mixing. :D The synths i was using were a protools plugin called Xpand. They have a HUGE bank of synths avaliable, and about 5 main editable features for each one as well. thin can range from attack, to filter decay and resonance. I also use mono and poly synths in reason adapted plugin for protools. thanks for your tips!!
sure thing man, i will give ur tracks a listen, but for now i must sleep cause it is 4 int eh morning!! please give my track 'new contact' a listen, if you have time and tell me what you think?? -Lorin
the cello's attack felt a little distant, especially when it first started, when you threw the quick fill in around 35 seconds or so. i feel the cello should be multi-layered, have one fairly bassy with mild overdrive. reducing the attack on the cello will do wonders for the tonality and intended melodic nature.
i'll skip the guitar as it has received enough praise, i don't feel there's much more i can add to that can of worms.
i'm not feeling much of the bass at the end when it's consistent. i feel that it's the culprit of the "crackle" and believe that the mastering for this part could be a bit softer and bouncy. it's got mild upright feel to it, i believe that you should stick with that essence of the sound as it adds to the persona of the orchestral scheme.
regarding the final product, it's generally a solid tune.
some of the mastering could be reworked...
thanks a lot man, you definatly offer some good advice! the crackling was indeed caused by the low bass, and i should of turned it down a little. I originally had the attack of the cello a lot lower, but i thought i gave it a nice kind of mystical feel with it being higher but i dunno. And the layering is a good idea, ill play around with that.
Thanks for giving a really good review with useful additions in it!

tremendous production for as new you are to the field.
you have a good grasp of structuring and mastering so far, now it's time for some substance.
i'm looking forward to your other materials, and i'll be sure to review honestly.
thanks a lot man!! i am fairly new at making techno in genral, that was my first real attempt at trance. I have just uploaded a new track called 'New Context' I beleive this hardcore track to be my best track so far, could you tell me what you think?
Sorry I havent reviewed you back lately, college been rough. I would say you got this genre down pat if your already making songs like this on your 2nd one!
Lets see on the mix, that synth that comes in at 1:36 is a little too loud, maybe drop it a db or two (it seems to loud relative the rest of the mix). It comes in again at 322 I think with the same problem.
And when you stop the kick after 345 or so, I would instead keep it going there. The complete stop without another break is kinda awkward unless you were fading the kick out for the outro.
Overall very nice job though. Way better then my 2nd song.
hey thatks alot dude! yeah i wa kind of thinking the same thing with the kick stopping, but i couldnt realy think of a way to kind of ease into it so yeah. Thanks a lot for the review!
Perfect name for this track. Your profile says you've been playing guitar for 2 years so you must practice a lot or just be a natural talent. This is just really good.
thanks a lot! well, not to put myself down or anything, but it sounds good mainly beacuse of the sound i managed to get from the guitar, not really the skill of playing, it wasnt that hard really :D
Hi Lorin!
This track Synesthesia is far from a "steaming pile of crap"..in fact it's very well done though it does sound somewhat familiar as a lot of Trance is...
Well mixed..lots of breaks and hooks make it interesting..
Cheers!
This is a very well structured track dude! Some cracking melodies in there too....Good mix on it also. Would like to hear it with a bit more space. MAybe some reverb on the hats and clap just to give it a big room sound. But overall a great effort dude...keep up the good work!
Great work here. I'm not in any way a well-versed reviewer of techno, trance, dance, etc. I just don't listen to it all that much, if ever. I did enjoy the structure of this track, and it had some things with it that I enjoyed, things that most techno or electro or whatever is lacking. There was no point at which I became bored with a synth line, the beat, the pad, there wasn't too much of anything, which is refreshing as it is very easy to get roped into such a rut when using loops and samples, even if they are your own. Again nice work, have a good one...
shaked my house to the core, trance music is fun to make i must agree, i liked ur intro, was thinging of a very nice melody thing but u did it well with the trance. i have not made any trance beat though, but urs gived me ideas.
i really enjoyed this track. the quality is great, nice and clear. it flows along very well. i liked the nice airy pad, made me think of blue skies, which is good cos the sky is always grey here! I can't really think of any way to improve for you, juts keep at it, you are barking up the right tree!

Great range of sounds on this man, great atmospheres in the background, a very crafty piece of music composed here, keep up the good work man!!!
