Thanks, I'll have to give your tracks a look.
An Excellent Track...
I'm not a fan of this genre but you've definetly opened my eyes with the wonders that you did with this track. It's one of the best trance tracks I've heard on NG and deserves to be up in the charts. It's truly great, it had me bobbng my head all the way through!
I really like that swirlhing pad texture you bring in at the start, and slowly fade in the drums with a nice EQ to start. The key melodies are a nice preface for more goodness to come, everything mixes well in the start. And I like I said, the intense mix had me bobbing my head once it came in. Lots of energy and emotions packed into this track indeed. I Like the arpchip in the second half too, you've really got a superb choice of synths in here. They sound pretty original from what I've heard, did you make or tweak them? As far as clarity I like the level of reverb on anything and the nice delaying effect on the keys. The pingpong delay effect on the synth in the interlude is really sweet. Kick, snare, clap, and hats are well rounded and brought out well so they dont get lost in the mix.
Can't find much wrong with it, but the part at 4:00 you might want to pan one of the saws more to give it more balance and definition. I also think the bassline could be a tad louder.
superb work here man. first trance track going into my favs!
Mrmilkcarton responds:
I can't say I can take full responsibility for the synthes. The way I like to build my synthes is to take a preset that has a general sound, then tweak them to my style and liking. Some of the VSTIs like nexus really limit me to doing that so to over come it I have to use some weird EQ settings and a few other mix tracks. So its a mix of original synthes like the bass and some not so original like a few of the pads. The lead sounded terrible without the mixing that was used though.
As far as the bass not coming out thats a personal choice that will probably change through out my songs. I don't like the bass to seem like an overpowering substance of the song that way more attention is spent on the actual melody and lead. I've never been one for loud basses but maybe I'll have the next one stick out more.
Thank you for the review I'll certainly look into that panning and keep your suggestions in mind for my next songs.
wow man
thats just awesome. The song is really slow, but its so obvious is was meant to be like that. All the percussion was awesome, the synths were great, the slow and emotional buildups are great, its all good.
I really really like this, 5/5 10/10 and favorited
try to check out my new song if you can (cringe)

Ambiente Perfection
I really liked the beginning's ambient tones. I didnt like the trancish beginning middle, because i feel that this song would be better as a full ambient song. And the drums were good in the beginning (because it was ambient), but when you have more trancish leads, increase the volume (or compression =P) on the drums to make sure that the rythm still flows, because at some point, the snare sounded like an off kick or something. And the melody was nice. Loved the ending. Please make more, and I wanna collab, just as a question, how many hours did it take for this? (truth plz, wont affect anything, i just want to know how much time i should spend doing something like this for my next song ^_~)
Mrmilkcarton responds:
Ambient beginning was on accident actually. I wanted to calm myself down and well ambient is how I did it. Right before the creation of the song I was emotionally hit by something personal to me and it calmed me down.
As to hours put into this song well lets see... I started at 6ish and worked to 2 AM in the morning with a 2 or so hour break in the middle of it (had to play some Halo3). Then I spent another 4 hours or so working on it the next day tweaking the mix tracks and rendering it to make sure it was all good. So lets say about 10 hours or so put into the track give or take an hour or so. Time spent shouldn't be a factor, if your happy with the way it sounds then it's done. You can always go back to improve something. Don't rush something just to get it done, make sure your happy.
Maybe a collab is in our future who knows if you have AIM or MSN you can add me by checking my user page. My news post has my AIM and MSN in it which is also my E-mail. We can chat and over time we might just form a collab.
