Sweet holmes
This r liek teh poon. First thing I noticed is the mixing. Awesome work on it, though it sounds a tad overly compressed. I donno, it still sounds cool, but that sound makes it sort of small-roomish. I feel like it would have been cooler if it felt... larger? But still, nice work on the mixing, it was very crisp and clean. Just needed to be "larger."
The piano was a real nice touch, it was really clean and calm and perfect for teh trance trackz 8D. And I like when the lead synth comes in at first just like the one measure of it. Although the buildup of the melody was a little bit long for my tastes but then again I don't know trance so there are a lot of things I can't comment on. I feel like it was not used enough. Like if it were me, being the mr mysterio that I am, I'd sort of introduce it filtered during the first part of the song somewhere, THEN go to the piano and introduce it totally.
Drums- not much to say, they sound nice and tight. Sounds good, though again this is a genre taste, some breaks in the drum beat (such as fills or something along those lines) would have been nice, but sounds fine without any. And of course that's my genre, and most likely not trance.
Synth choice- Awesome choices here. They all melt together perfectly to give the effect of a "view" into the future or something. The piano again was awesome. The "ah" or whatever that may have been, might have gotten a little on my nerves, but only when i concentrated on it because then it was all I could hear. The bassline was great, powerful yet original. It's nice to hear the kickbass was not used here (Kick-bass-kick-bass etc) Though you won't be hearing a change in that from me >8( so don't ask.
This may be one of the better trance songs on this site quality and contents-wise.
Btw, I just really listened to the little sine-type thing playing in the backround at the start, and it's really cool.
5/5

THANKS ENVY HOLMES YO YO YO
A lot of peoples have been saying that it sounds overly compressed, I did not personally compress it, maybe I need to widen the stereo or tone down on the sidechaining or something.
I felt like using the saw in the start but I'd tried that before with different tracks and when I listen to it it feels like I already grown tired of it by the time it really is introduced, but that was when I was a nub, so yeah I dunno, might've sounded better.
Yeah more fills, I get where your coming from there. I was overly focused on getting things syncopated well and eq'd good that I forgot to put any real work into making original fills. Could've done with some, especiialy in that long intro.
The 'ah' sound was from a pad sound from Nexus which I tried filtering just to get the sparkling sound it gave at the top end, I tried getting as much tonal sound I could out of it but couldn't get it out fully without muting it completely :(
I try to keep away from an offbeat bass rhythm, although it gives a lot of fullness, I try to make my own rhythms that leave gaps so it sounds more grooved and jumpy, and make up for the fullness in the pads.
Thanks for the looooooooooooooong review mr mysterio envyson. u r teh poonorz thanks. :):):):)
Amazing, Nice and original.
Original, which makes it just great. I love hearing a new tempo every time.
I love the piano that comes in at 2:25, that just makes it seem so soft, and then the kick that comes in at 2:48, goes so nice with the piano.
This is for sure the best song i have heard since Omni bus.
10 for great effort, and originality.
Nice!
Great job man, hope you keep cranking them out,
Cheers
