Hello :)
I dig the deep melody. I like it. I'm just wondering why the track is so quiet and varies in volume a lot. A tip i'd like to share is using the vocals more throughout the track. It feels like they are just pasted at the end and thats it. Considering this would battle the repetitiveness and brings up the interest and wideness of the track along the way.
I like it! There is way more going on in this track then detected at first. I think that has to do with the fact that you managed it all very smoothly all together.
Transitions are perfect, intro, outro, diversity, all good. I personally cannot find myself in TheUltrasonic's message as there is for sure a buildup there and it sounds good. But that's just my POV on it :)
The track has a certain fantasy/dreamisch effect on me. I do not know how to explain it. But its positive haha
Nice one. My feedback:
- Intro is good.
- Vocal sounds good with the instrumental
- Nice diversity throughout the sneak a peek.
- 1:15 is a very catchy swinging part :D
I can not really find much feedback for you to bent your thoughts over. What you might think of is using a slightly edited vocal part later on. As in few tones lower, or maybe even slightly robotic hint to it (not to much) by using a vocoder.
yeaaaaah! Nice deep filthy techno beat ^^. I could see myself dancing hard to this at a good old rave!
I do not know if this is still a WIK but I would suggest extending it a bit. That 1:37 sound could be used (lower in volume) as a nice add for a further chorus. Letting it pop in and out here and there. Making it all together even more coolisch hypnotic techno.
thanks man its exactly comments like urs which make me feel like its worth it to put my songs up on this site i think this one is done i had just made a 7 minute psy trance song called japan and this was what came next so short and sweet to the point but if u wanna remix it i can give u the stems if ur up to it anyway thanks for the comment sir

I heard you calling, so here I am! (lame, ikr lol)
Anyways, nice track :) I certainly like it.
I can not sing, I should not sing, and I have little to zero know-how from it basically. Listened the track a few times and taken in account what 8Kass8 said, I might actually agree on that on some way.
But only on the double layer parts where the 2nd voice might be a key or so higher. Examples will be 0:36/0:42 etc.
Nevertheless is it already a splendid track! Just sharing some thoughts.
Thank you so much for such a thorough critique. I will definitely take it all into account in my future tracks!!! :)
p.s. (Thank goodness SOMEONE heard the call!!! LOL!!!) ;)
Nice production man.
If I may be so free to leave a bit of feedback:
- Intro sounds good. Building up and letting the ears prepare for what's coming
- Outro is a bit to suddenly for me.
- At 0:45 there's an impact as effect to bring the drums in i guess. While its decently put together, for me it still comes in to hard. hard as in volume difference. It might be an idea to either insert a sweep to that moment or decrease the volume of the impact or possibly delete the impact but fade in the drums.
- 0:58, link the upriser directly to the drop. There's a little room between.
- Overall throughout the track, the drums seem to loud and pushing the trance synths to the background. Examples are around 0:54, 1:41 and later on in the same parts. Honestly do I not find the drum (loop?) at the main chorus parts fitting the Trance genre. But that is more my personal preference.
I hope that you will not shoot me down over this. It seems like a huge list of critic but I only write things so extended to make sure people understand what I mean. And all meant respectfully as a helping matter. The track certainly got potential! It just needs a bit more mixing and transition attention with these tiny points.
Keep it up the work, see this as a motivational review! :)
You left me behind seeking for words after this truly amazing piece of music. Seriously..
I agree with Nelephant that this indeed has a soul and sounds as pure emotion to me. Hard to describe but I feel happiness, love, a calm state of inner peace, a urge to just stare out of the window and let the music fully take over. I NEED MORE, finish it! lol
It has got splendid details in it for just being a 1:35 sneak a peek. I am not 'home' in acoustic that much but it sounds very good recorded to me. Listened it over and over for like 8x before I even finished this comment lol. Big fav!!!
Awesome production! Everything seems well balanced for me. Transitions, intro/outro, vocals. I just can not hear what the vocals actually sing, but I do not find that anywhere a issue.
If I may be so free, i've found 2 minor feedback things.
- At the very start 0.00 the white noise following the impact/drop effect is either to loud in my opinion, or possibly better placed when matched up together in the effect.
- The outro is rather short versus the intro. What I mean is that it comes kind of unexpected and all in a sudden if people are not seeing the actual wave file or time left. Just something that I noticed but not a big deal or anything. I like the track a lot, keep it up! :D
Name: The track sounds spacey and galactic to me. I would suggest brainstorming towards that topic. A planet or certain star name. Or anything cool sounding out the universe.
Nice preview! The gentle 'ping pongs' at 0:40 had my attention in this piece and could lead to a nice part after that buildup! I love the fact you fuse styles together with 'no fear'. Really seeking your own style and desire (for this track) instead of mainstream and the simple ways out. I respect that.
I do totally understand the 'expectations towards yourself issue'. I haven't got any full tracks released here on Looperman yet but there's a lot going on behind the curtains here and as addition, my perfectionism sometimes just blocks things up.. lol
Tiny feedback thingy:
Knowing its a preview and work in progress, so please forgive me in that.
For me, the 0:35 transition is a bit out of the blue.
I'm fully confident that it will turn out as something beautiful so keep it up!
The whole idea of posting it before it was done was to get as much feedback as possible so no need to be forgiven. I welcome all kinds of criticism. Especially when it comes to finding my own style.
I'll work on the transition, and make it sound as smooth as possible.
And yeah, I understand what you mean. There's always a part of me that strives for perfection, and it can be extremely discouraging. I have around a 100 projects that are either incomplete or complete but will never see the light of day because I'm not proud of it. But being in a community like looperman helps because of all the support an all the knowledge I can get from people here.
I understand. Quality movie quotes are not around that much indeed.
What you might consider..
(if done already, please ignore the following helpful thought)
try audacity editing. Its noise reduction in combination with normalizing works pretty well. There are lots of tutorials about it and its very simple to do. If you however need any help, I can try it for you as well.
My 5 cents of feedback would be:
- Intro effect (pouring in a drink? haha Cheers!)
Lower the volume of it. Same at 0:17 for a split second, which might be cut from the very same effect.
- Outro, for me it stops a bit to suddenly. But this might be a matter of taste rather then it actually being 'good or bad'. Possibly fading it out but remaining the 'YEAH' volume might do the trick.
This is a splendid track! Dubstep is not something i'd choose from first hand as a liking, but I can certainly enjoy it time to time. This hypes me up so good, I can't sit still listening this :D
Some minor feedback:
1) I know its often in Dubstep, but for me the 0:30 and 2:19 spin comes in a bit to loud. It being unexpected is perfect tho. As well as the timing and all. I'd personally just swipe the volume of it down just a 10-20%.
2) 1:48 and 3:25, a delay/echo from the main chorus sounds for just a sec or 2 after its finished while going into the break adds a extra pro touch.
Overall its already extremely good! Just my 2 cents. Keep doing what you’re doing! Faved this bjoetie
I GREATLY appreciate your feedback! To quickly address your points:
1) I think you may be right, so in the future if I have similar types of noises in my tracks I'll make sure to give them a slightly longer volume sweep in. That way it won't spook people!
2) Good point, I would only worry about it muddying up the plucks that follow after, but if I were to end the track after a drop like that I will DEFINITELY follow that piece of advice.
Thanks a ton. The only way I can get better is with constructive criticism like this. It may not seem like a lot, but it really does make me a better producer!

Nice rhythm changes at 1:52. Nice transition also! The outro is also remarkably good.
