Sorry to hear about your Dad. Music is a great thing, in so many different ways it can a friend. Glad you are back in the groove.

I couldn't tell you the first thing about Trap but I "caught" myself listening to this a few times. sorry

I would guess that the saw synth is a big deal in Trance, it's out in force. Drums are pounding, which I associate club music to this type of beat. Sounds cool enough to me, especially the softer sounding synth at the end.

It's a cool track !
great synths and real trancy !

good job !

Drums are perfect ... fantastic . But clap percussion is a little loud and long . Nice trap dance work ... I like it

I like the sound you have achieved here! I too almost expected Joe Cramer's voice to break in with his style of vocals. It stands well on it's own, but I always enjoy this sort of music with lyrics to anchor them. With that in mind, it does remind me a lot of Depeche Mode. That is something to be proud of for sure, as I have heard few that can successfully do that sort of style. Sounds very good throughout! Very cool composition! Fave!

I had to fave this one before I got half way in!
I know the genre for it too.
Umpa Lumpa music.
How the hell you're really supposed to describe this I don't know. Maybe .... unique.
It's dark and I was expecting Joe Kramers voice to pop up at any time. This one I've found quite inspiring.

AM not big on trance but What I can say the progression is super alot thanx for the insight on the clarity the track presents good work gosh love that build up

Its an interesting song, I would say its in the industrial realm... And yeah very 80´s, if there could be any comparison with other bands... I would say depeche mode, the knife and fever ray...

This is 80's (dark) Wave music :) and is really cool.
I enjoyed the listen. Good sounds, well used and nice mixed.
You done all right Mudhoen

stay tuned
joe

I ain't an expert when genres are in question so I can't say much in which drawer to put it, but I think it even doesn't need a drawer!I will simply call it "tumba-tumba"
for now...haha....but man this is excellent! Your creativity shines....I truly enjoyed this journey packed wit many things....very inventive effort my friend ! It
certainly deserves a 'fav'...so be it !:)

Trippy Tune, esp the intro. good mixing, song is missing a groove to glue it all together with it's trippiness. Keep working on this one it's not finished yet.

Well, my ears tell me you did a very good job! I'm not so much of a techy type to be able to give you more detailed advice. I usualy use slight dynamic compression but only when i feel it really works and it's also hard to make comparisons cause I produce quite different sort of music within which the compression actions might well be a mixed bag. All in all, well done my friend!

Well, I can't even come close to giving the kind of technical advice you got from Crucethus. And, I'm the last one who who'll be commenting on how to improve a mix. Mine are usually kind of muddy I think. Its a lot of work to place each instrument in its unique position within the sound spectrum and set pan positions and use reverb etc. to position things in the soundstage. Not to mention ensuring interest through dynamic range. But, if I had any advice it would be to take a look (listen) to the lower frequency range in the track. I think you could clean it up a bit, separating the frequency range for the kick and the bass in particular. There was kind of a continuous "booming" sound and things weren't as clean and distinct as I think they could be. Generally, I liked the track quite a bit, though. I have tried and failed many times to make a track like that. :)

There is a lot to like about this mix. Have you experimented with expanding the pan a little bit and using a lighter Dynamic compression. For example when the "do you wanna dance" kicks on it's great, stereo panned and in your face. But that synth stab comes in and it's just kind of in the center and has no energy compared to that phrasing. (and that's the phrase you want to make you feel the energy of the track. Try splitting the stab and hard panning both channels. On one channel add just a small slight touch of distortion. You will be then emulating a hardware unit we used (back in the day)called an audio exciter. For some reason doing this would brighten the sound and make it more interesting. You made a very nice comment on my latest track "You always know how to maximize the minimal sound"
To create that minimal sound I use a hell of a lot of subtle harmonics and sub sounds and barely audible phrasings and percussions that just push the main theme or melody along.
I do like how you build the percussion in this one. But when you use a synth phrase try using multiple phrasing to create something bigger. Even take that synth stab and raise it a third or a fifth (chord structure) and pan it right lower in the mix and you will hear something interesting.
Anyhoo, love where you're going with this.

Looking at the waveform the output level is fine M.H
I enjoyed the track,has some good sections and put together very well.I believe it is lacking a little with dynamics in places but that is part of the mix and easily rectified.Sounds a lot cleaner than previous tracks.Take care.

I like the track, however, I felt the high pitched reverb/wobble on that synth is a bit 'offbeat' on just that little bit right before the 'falloff' . I really liked the track man keep it up!

While this isn't my preferred style of trance, I can really appreciate what went into it. Mostly, I've just never understood what "progressive" means in regards to music, whether it's progressive trance, rock, or whatever... This is a cool arrangement, with some interesting sounds for sure. I think I'd have to agree about the level of compression or limiting in the final product. It's not too bad, but it could be far more dynamic without losing much loudness. I do like that portamento synth around 2:45... that part especially could benefit from more dynamic range... that would sound very cool. I enjoyed listening! Keep at it!

Too compressed. Dial back the compression a bit... don't get me wrong I like things pumpin'... but this is just too much.

Another well made composition my friend! You always provide
good quality stuff within your prefered genres. Keep up the good work !:)

Hi mudhoen,
All I can say is wow.
What a wonderful intro mate.
Brilliant track.
Well done
Jamid

Fun sound mate :) little smoothing on that high end but other than that coil little swinging number...

hello

this sounds good and the melodies you created are fine. Really nice try in such a short time.

Actually my point regarding to your previous track was about some apparent harmonic disconnection between vocal and instrumental. Also I was upset by so very overcompressed overall mixdown.
The levels on this track are still far too much for me but I guess this is direction music is heading nowadays, correct me if I am wrong. Simply it is not that pleasant to my ears, thats all. Just my prefference.

I do not make proper EDM too much. Maybe it is just a coincidence but I just have uploaded a new House track. Would be interesting to hear your opinions about it.

I downloaded your track to listen properly on speakers and I will eventually return if there will be anything of useful to say later.

Congratulations on this one. Good luck with your music
Alex

Amazing that you've pulled of a great track without the fx and the vocals xD

Ez mr mudhoen nice stripped piece of tech/house , synth melody pushes thing along nicely and the driving drum compliment well
peace
K.

I like this, do you mind if I add something to it?
Cru

This sounds incredibly well for only 3,5 hours of work, but
even if we don't take time into consideration this is still very fine piece of work....congrats my friend!:)

All the best______Orlando
