Music sounds pretty decent, but to be honest, me personally I think the vocals are out of time, out of tune and too loud on some parts. This track could sound pretty hot with a lot more work especially on the vocals. overall the idea is there and with that extra work on vocals could make this track hot.

Damn! Love it!
Makes me wanna bust a move ;)

Great sound quality and great arrangement!
Awesome intro! But it would be even more awesome if you would let the intro synth's fade-out and the new synth's fade-in, like a "crossfade". Or possibly let the intro synth's be in the background for like 4 more bars and then fade-out.

Once again, great!

It's a pretty tight track bro. I agree that it could definitely be longer and I would like to hear a really solid breakdown somewhere in the middle or towards the end and really just explode after that. One great quality of a trance track is that it's like a roller-coaster you know? So basically drop it down almost completely with like a high-cut or something, and then just bring it up to KICK everyone's ass :D

I'd also like to hear more of the music a little more and the vocals just a SMIDGEN less. I feel like the vocals drown everything out. This is just personal preference though. It's my belief that with this type of music, vocals should take a back seat to the music.

Well done though. I always enjoy listening to your tracks.

It's hard to make comments sound meaningful,it's almost as hard as writing lyrics.There is something in your music that touches my soul and that's what makes it gr8 for me!We can master and re-master,tweak and peak-but at the end of it all,a good track stands out from the rest no matter how much you play with the knobs(ha ha)
You have talent-and that's good enough for me.Awesome track!!Lofthouse.x

CalifKen replied Unknown
LH man - I see so often lately how when something is difficult, it often produces a better result than the easy thing. That comment was super meaningful to me, and maybe cuz it wasn't the easiest thing to come up with, took some thought. I'll tell you this tho - the comment I left on your track Little Star (http://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/39410) came right out after listening to it, so some times good things that mean a lot don't have to be hard - I think cuz your track was so good, all the thought and emotion had already been evoked after i heard it, so I just typed. I really appreciate your taking the time reciprocate. Much love man, cheers.

Dude! Before I even begin to review the song I've got to say that's possibly the coolest description I've ever seen! How'd ya do it (with HTML stuff I'm guessing)?
Play 2 now...
Okies, so I'm thinkin that this has the potential to be alot longer. And I'm not trying to shamelessly promote myself, but the groove of this reminds me of my track Lemonade Sunrise, which I played live (and that session lasted over 11 minutes, granted I was pushing the envelope of repetition on it). So yeah, if you were wanting to take this further I just had a wicked idea with the added synth parts at the end. I call it 'step-build mixing' and basically it just means adding/subtracting the different channels with fades. And here you could stip this song down to like a single channel and then build back up into the song. Do a 'hopscotch' drop/add of the drumms (play-cut-play-cut-isolated bridge-play). And then 'step down' the rest (from longest playing channel to newest) and I'm thinkin leave it with just the bass and new synth. While maybe introducing a new long drawn out sounding channel of pads (like angel choir, for example).
Anyways, this is like play 4 or 5 now. Great start mate, hands down! Looking forward to hearing how this progresses. Later on!

(update)
Hey mate, my bad for not getting back to you sooner. I'll rectify that here shortly. Anyways, as for the track it sounds like ya pretty much nailed it. Lates again!

Nice! I agree, great intro but I liked the transition to the melody also. Nice volume changes. I need to work on those myself. Could have gone on longer with some of the interesting tempo/volume changes you put in there. Good stuff.
CalifKen
CalifKen replied Unknown
That's my next step with it, to let some of the good stuff go a little longer so it's more like a jam than a jingle. Thanks for the review!

Dude your production sounds soooo clean. I use alotta the high mid range synth myself and noticed it tends to get sorta muddy. You tore it up on the mix! Good stuff! Dance really aint my bag but I can dig this!
CalifKen
CalifKen replied Unknown
You know I can totally hear somebody rapping to this in my head, like very cool. If you have anything on the burner, keep this in mind. I know you're doing a few cool things right about now... With this, I feel there could be like that futuristical kw flavor. If that makes sense.

Thanks so much - I appreciate it! And again that intro is the first thing I built out in FL after reading your posts, so thanks for taking the time to put that information out there. Is there any other reading or info out there that you might suggest I check out?

Description : Big thanks to Justze3 who released the four loops to his drake ovo style piece because he didn't plan to finish it, challenge accepted. I would also like to thank LankFrampard for the extra drum loop and av3 for the sample "trapped" which gave a lot of extra feel to the song.

Description : this song is the last i created. I wanted to remix the famous "the chase" from the movie "midnight express, i love the original sound! i don't know if the result is enough good but i'm proud to say that all has been composed by myself: the instrumental parts, the arrangements, melody, recording and mixing. I hope you'll enjoy it! don't hesitate to let a comment after listening :)

This is what you get when i try to make a Free Radical song.
In the end, it does not sound like something I've ever heard from him.
But it was, after all, a try.
Thus, it is not completely different, ´cause i have not sung this time.
And it is electronic music but .....

However, I like the resulting song. Hope you too. Only 1 sample was used here - Anubis-Anubis-Loop all the synth´s are played by me and i added some drumsounds with powerdrums2 played by myself Comments are sure welcome.

Description : Another attempt in my continuing efforts to learn how make a trance track. Is intended to have a vocal doing the melody. Would try to find a singer but need to work out lyrics first. For this track I tried to make the melody not too repetitive. I limited it to four bars max of the same melodic phrase.

Description : Would you be at all surprised if I told you this was a Trance edit of And Then She Left Me Again? Didn't do a whole lot to it. Just changed the bpm to 138, swapped out the drums and slightly changed the drop. That's all I've had time to do since I uploaded the house/techno version. Originally this was going to be DnB edit but I got tired of trying to find the perfect kick and percs
