i don't like the way you've used a synthesized piano and tried to make it sound real, i don't think that you tampered with the velocity correctly, it is very hard hitting....and a poor sample at that... i don't know where you got the vocal's from, but they either sound like a badly ripped mp3, or an insanely compressed vocal, try side chain compression with your hi hat's to your vocals, that way your hats will always duck instead of your vocals fighting for that frequency, or just revise your EQ try it all lol
ok, first of all i'd like to say thank you for the feedback, i agree with half of what you said, maybe it isn't trance like, however you must bare in mind that i am a hardcore producer and this was more of a one off to se how it goes,
enough of that, i could say exactly the same near enough about you production however it seems to be a lot more "basic" i don't mean to drop a bomb on you or hate on you, however the production on your tracks could be a whole lot better, i think first of all you need to get yourself some sample packs, as i've said to many people on this site today VEC Vengeance Essential Clubbers sample packs are the way forward, they are awesome sounding percussion sample packs and cheap too, just by listening to your track i can tell exactly what basic samples you used from FL,, the 4 that are already loaded up into the step sequencer are pathetic drums to use, i'm sorry but anybody with any music knowledge will agree with me, fruity loops all together is a good starting point but the audio engine is a tad bad,
also i think you may need to either invest in a new computer or set up your preferences correctly, YOUR CPU CAN'T PROCESS A TINY BIT OF INFORMATION CREATED BY YOUR SEQUENCER, seriously the crackling in your tracks is either because your buffer rate is set too small or your computer is a fossil, try downloading ASIO 4 ALL, then go into audio set up and select that as your primary driver, then check the buffer rate, if your buffer is set small it will have a quicker response to external equipment such as midi keyboard and controllers, if it is set high, you will not get the same crackle BUT you WILL receive "latency" (DELAY) therefor your external equipment being declared useless,
i suggest buying a better computer all together, making sure you have a reasonable processing power, half decent RAM, and a sound card/audio interface of a reasonable standard to go with it, then my friend you will be more capable of producing a track.
ok, first things first, you need to sort out your percussion, your drums have no power and are basic samples, what you need to look for is VEC Vengeance Essential Clubbers, these are huge sample packs which will definitely blow your mind and your tracks, i like the melodic idea, however it is repetitive, look at a plug in called Nexus, its a basic plug in with patches which i think would suit you just fine,
you want a big kick layered up with another big kick to make it huge, use a shortened closed hi hat to layer over that so your kick will cut through the mix, then on every 2nd kick use a distorted snare or clap but be careful on the volume, use it as more of a mask than actually in the mix, then use an open hi hat on the offbeats, also accompany this with bass, then to make your drums more interesting, try using a ride on your kick drum, and then another short closed hi hat in between your open hi hat on the off beats,
music is about experimenting, it just seems like you want it but you just aren't doing it, try using snare roles, automate a snare roll coming in using the volume, if your using fruity, then just use the velocity bars at the bottom of your piano roll,
i could go on forever however this might point you in some sort of direction, trance needs strings too, try playing around with chords,
i agree with travis on the drum's, unfortunately i have to say that this track is more like a progressive Techno track than Trance, the mix down is muddy, try using a low cut on a lot of things to leave room for your kick drum, also fruity basic kick drum is bad, look for VEC Vengeance Essential Clubbers. they are amazing drums, layer a few of those up and you can't lose,
also i think it would be wise to consider learning to play the keyboard and how it works, once you have mastered major and minor scales, you have the basic knowledge to start producing a reasonable track, i mean, alternating patterns are ok in bridge sections, however people are moved my by big melodic compositions.
try listening to tracks that you like, but this time instead of listening to them, write down everything you hear and then reference that back to your music, sit back and think, how did they do that etc and try to interpret these techniques within your own music, don't just look at trance look at all genres, you can take bits and bobs from everything.
anyway, sorry if i put a downer on you, but just keep trying, everybody starts somewhere, good luck in the future...
making a beat has always been my downfall,,,so i huess i dont really try to hard.not enought to go looking for beats other than what FL provided. and oh by the way matey i have been messing around on the keys for ...well over 20 years. that i know what to do.i will impliment this clearly on my next track....as for the drums...idk but ill see what i can find.
thank you for the review

ok, all the idea's are cool, the melodies are good, however may i recommend that you get your hands on some vengeance sample packs aka VEC Vengeance Essential Clubbers, because you percussion is weak, basic sequencer patches = (N) . also the gate that you used on the vocals didn't work out too good,try chopping the audio instead, EQ some of the lower range frequencies to leave more headroom in your track, please get to work on this and you'll have yourself a good track
ok i don't mean to burst your bubble, but alot of your beats i think you are knocking out too fast, because you could do sooooooooo much more with this, it needs progression and feeling, it's all good getting a loop and throwing a drum loop together, which i will say the drum loop is pretty cool, but you need strings, you need pitch bending synths like on your top track,
this isn't hate or negative feed, just think that you can do better, you have it in you, just stop being lazy, rushing projects doesn't get you anywhere i used to do that and i end up with like 100 half finished efforts... come on man prove to yourself you can make not just a hip hop beat, but a CLUB BANGER...
ok. u definitely got your name right lol. and you didnt burst my bubble, you just made it like microscopic man. this beat isnt the final product of what im plannin on publishing, this is just a rough draft. i was plannin on adding a lot more to this, but i wanted to put it up to see what other people think. id rather have 100 "unfinished efforts" than 1 nicely polished track. u feel me?
