Nice effort
Nice effort you've put into this song!! it's noticeable from beginning to end and it's really something you can appreciate from this song. Nice thought of mixing some house and trance together. but this idea kind of went wrong and Ill explain why. But first, this songs got strong points, but there are a lot of things that i found a bit out of place.
Strong points:
- Nice use of all the instruments! Although some sound better then others, they all fit the mood and the style. except maybe for one certain instrument, but i will get back to that later in the weak point section.
- Nice use of all the effects, although i think some of the synths could have been more reverbed, the overall sound that the effects give to the song is great. That includes all the ambientish pads with the reverb effects. Even if there isnt really that much, it still makes a huge difference in my ears.
- Nice and original transitions. even if they dont always exactly have anything to do with the song. (I will talk about this later in the weak points)
- Love all the variety in the music and all the different instruments and such. but this is also a little negative since all the variety makes the song sound that much shorter. I'm not saying you should take off certain variations, but you should take what you've got right now, and make it longer by looping some of the synths together and not cuting the end like if it still continued.
- Nice variations in the drums also. Taking them on and off at exactly the right time never goes without notice. for me anyway.
Weak Points:
- As i said before, there are alot of interesting instruments in this piece. but one of the least interesting is the high pad from 0:56 to 1:08 which i found a bit odd and out of place. I think that if you should probably revisit that part of the song and definitly look for a more fiting synth or just completely take off that melody because the song defenitly has enough variation already.
- While talking of the transitions, i couldnt stop thinking of that one transition at 0:52. This transition is completely out of place. In fact, it seems like you just cut two songs together much like they would do it on the radio or something. the melody completely changes from before the transition and after, wich just makes it sound so odd.
- The ending for this song seems to just be a quick fix solution. But it just doesnt work. There was no editing involved; its like you just cut it in the middle of the song or something. and the result it has given just cannot be ingored. you should seriously go in there and add something. The minimum you should do is at least do a fade out at the end. at least it wont give the impression that it is just some loop that whent wrong.
- You should also work on the length of the song since people would probably like more then 2 minutes of such great music. You could make it alot long simply by looping the instruments for longer. it's quick, easy, and is very appreciated.
NOTES: this song just doesn't sound like it is complete. especially with the crapy ending, it just sounds like a demo. The ending that it has right now isn't finished, but i was very interested by where it was going. you should probably continues your song from there since you were going in the right direction.
