There are several interesting ideas here, but it is still true that it could be better. Anyway, good song! :D
Reviews for "Vortonox - Through The Stars"
I'll get the issues out of the way first because there aren't many and they aren't terrible --
The waveform never goes above a certian volume and rarely under a certain volume. It looks almost as though the entire song is limited. The is what causes the drops to lack power -- they are the same volume as the intro and buildup. Also, the piano that comes in after the drop around 1:04 is SO compressed and loud. It sounds like you cranked it +6db or raised the volume via a compressor, it loses all of its dynamics and takes up a ton of space in the mix, leaving room for nothing else.
Aside from these issues, I find the song's melodies to be pretty nice and fun to listen to. The drop's sound design is good and the mixing is pretty solid. Well done!
Vortonox responds:
the piano was full keyzone classic, i now use labs (chords) and keyzone classic (melody), which actually makes a difference.
i did forget to add ott and saturator, so maybe that's why

I know how it feels to fix the song clipping. About the song, I liked the drop, although I expected it to be something melodic or relaxing due to the name you gave it, but it was still good :)
Vortonox responds:
"melodic" isnt one of the tags so maybe not melodic dub xd
Hey vortonox! do u have the stems of this track? i like the melodies and i want to remix it :D (about de mixing and mastering, I recommend use pro Q-3 and Ozone 8)
