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!!
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!

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
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!!!

That's top notch hear, has this great balanced dancy beat, technoish bass. And dreamy synth. Ultra cool. I gotta say that this proves that pro tools is no way inferior to FL. Use what you use best ^^
Wow, thanks a lot yeah Protools is definatly my favourite program ever! I need to learn a lot more about mixing and mastering, and just making tracks in genral but overall, i think im off to a good start. Thanks a lot :)
Great track man, you are just beginning aren't you? I wish I could have started this well. Some pads will give it more depth, and maybe find some ways to work in some of the sounds a little better, a few come in awkwardly.
Thanks a lot man! ill take those comments to heart. Which sounds do you think came in a bit weirdly? perhaps some of the synths? i think i should of used a diffrent synth, or given it more attack really. Well, thanks a lot for the review!
A very catchy tune. I get images of the little pacman doing a kind of robotic dance to your track. Do you know anyone who could make such a video for this track? I think you could do a whole album and videos of this stuff. Great track.
I think what I liked best about this is how natural it sounded. I can't think of a word to use other then natural, it didn't seem like loops repeating but more like something being played live. Good job.
Thanks a lot for the review! Maybe you were talking about the varation it had, beacuse i didnt accually loop any sections, apart from the bass. So yeah i guess you could say i sort of played it live :)

then again, all songs could be remastered.

I would one day like to use protools. But for now am stuck to using Fruity Pro.

Nice synths too. I think the real instruments sound better than the vst's
Keep up the good work man!
