Trance
To start out on my review, I'd like to mention that I have recently been starting to develop trance songs and hopefully I can aide myself, and others by giving advice that both I, and the artist who's music i review, information to profit from.
So hopefully I can give you a tip or two from this hefty review lol :).
First thing's first:
You have the basics down. I see that you have a nice intro, a breakdown / buildup, semi-climactic point, and somewhat of an outro.
If i were you, I would add some sort of atmospheric phase, or something to make the song sound "harmonic".
Trance is based upon emotion. When the song is started, the first few notes should reveal just a taste of the song's full emotion / key / overall harmonic sound.
Second:
I would make the kick more "punchy". All songs, and expecially trance should have a punchy kick. A punchy kick can be created by taking a normal kick sound, and playing with the EQ. Look on the internet, (I learned from YouTube), to find out how you can emphasize your kick to yours, and other's personal desire.
Overall, this is quite a good track. There are things that I as a different artist would change, but It's YOUR song. All I can do is give advice to you on how YOU can improve :).
I ask a small favour of you as well.
Could I get you to review some of my trance songs? Preferably "Trancendent"
Thanks !

durn responds:
Aye, I completely agree with your first point. Would've been neat if I'd lightly introduced the build riff during the intro. Could've easily done it too as I didn't use the main rising lead synth during the intro at all.
Second, half-agree. :) The kick had punch, what it was lacking was oomph (thanks bjra ;)). You're right that I could've eq'd it better, I didn't raise the lows enough to give it that pound. The compression I used gave it a nice knock and punch-through but I didn't balance the low-end of it well enough.
Thanks for the great critical review. :) I'll get listening to your track shortly!
Oh yeah. B-)
I'm rockin' to this tune! Keep up the great work, durn. (^_^)
durn responds:
:) Thanks doom! Will do, my man! :D
yeah !
awesome, its sounds very good, keep it coming !!
i like final part, anyway, i loved the song; electronic music forever =D !
durn responds:
:) w00t. Indeed! E-mu forever! Egads, I think we may've found the cure for emo!
thanks for the listen and the positive review, templario. :)
Pretty Good! :)
I'm really feeling the rhyme dude and your a pretty good drummer. Man I wish I could challenge you someday to a drum off, because you seem pretty intense to me. Now keep on rocking! :) 5/5 10/10
durn responds:
I'd lose, man! :) My rhythm skills are still where I'm lacking. Getting the hang of builds and breaks via drums but I've got to learn to start coming up with more unique 8-bar patterns and actually have them change up every 16-bars to keep the interest up. I always pay so much attention to my melodies that the drums tend to fall by the wayside a bit.
I'll definitely keep on rockin' though. :D Thanks for the review, Gamerx!
