Reviews for Kazmo - Sinking In

[Larkeep26]

Sounds awesome

I love the mood of the song. The writing is catchy and very mesmerizing. Also, you have some really great transitions between the different sections. Great work with the frequency filters - a lot of people over-do it with those and I think you've done it very subtly but also very effectively. Especially at from 2:40 to 3:03. The fade ins and the dips are very interesting to listen to.

As for some critiques:

I only have one and that is that the piano that comes in around 1:50 sounds very digital. Dare I say FL Keys? Anyway, it's really tough to get a realistic sounding piano with synths but I thought I'd just throw it out there.

Thanks

Kazmo responds:

Nope, it's not FL Keys, it's a Rolland soundfont. I feel that it just fit the song better than the Steinway soundfont I have, it pierces through the lead more, the Steinway is a tad too soft.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D

Like I've said before, I feel that transitions are sooooo important in trance. And yes, I'm learning that it's not always about the filters, FX play a huuuge part in transitions, and combinations of filters/automations are key.

Thanks for the awesome review!

Ahhhh

Nice effect in the beginning, fades in really nicely. The airy crash makes for perfect transitions. The sharper synth could probably be turned up in the mix a little bit. The synth playing strait eigth notes sort of dominates the rest of the atmosphere of the song. Nice little interlude at the 1:30 mark. If thats a piano that comes in at two minutes, it should be made a little brighter and not so heavy on the attack. Cool reverse bass sounds that came in next.

Pretty sweet track, nothing spectacular, but it had all of the elements for a good trance song.

:D

Kazmo responds:

The sharper synth isn't the lead synth, so I'm not gonna turn it up. It's just background presence.

The straight eightnote synth is the only other synth, and I don't feel that it's the least overpowering. It may be your headphones. Do you hear the bass? :P

Yes, that's a Rolland soundfont, and I had to make it a tad strong so that it can be heard over the other synth, or else it'd sounds just like the other synth, and blend too much.

'nothing spectacular' I'll keep that in mind when I listen to other stuff on NG...

Thanks for the review.
