I liked it within the first bar. It reminds me of sort of music they play on those snowboarding games. It's trppy and melodic and just, well really bloody good.
On my MP3 for sure.

I love the chord changes at 1:15, you are trying to emulate the Vienna sound of classical-ism. I appreciate that. Myself I like Neo-Clasicism or Minimalism in my serious music idioms! Anton Weber or Philip Glass. But your work is good my friend! You have a sense of proper chord progressions! And a good sense of filtering and mixing. But to be innovative.... throw all of that away! We need to be beyond Neo classical and minimalism! Embrace Ambient and Dissonant and you will find yourself making amazing music!
sincere gratitude
Steve!
lol, i know i was surprised at that myself, nothing was over compressed, no channels went into the red, or even peaking close, and it was limited on the bass and master channel! Anyway thanks for the great words! :)
Hi Dave, awesome track, this is a true classic trance track! Great melody, does everything you would expect from it. A true voyage. The only thing i miss is a lil' more punch in the kick, maybe throw a compressor on the kick only or use a bit of ducking. Specially at 4:40 at the climax, it is imho overwhelmed a bit by the synths, i need more 'umph' to really get me going. The first beat comes through for some reason and at the second count the bass is gone. Other than that, nothing to mention flawless work! Love it.
I'm surprised i use 4 kicks in my tracks, i use 1 kick 3 times,all compressed then i have 1 eq high, 1 mid and 1 low, then i play with the volume levels till they sit right, then i have my 4th kick to give a fuller sound. I think the only reason why they didn't come though in parts is cos i didn't side-chain all my synths to the kick and that probably just overpowered the sound off the kick! defiantly something to look into though as you are right, Anyway cheers for the comment.
Holy shit! This is what i want to hear! As we both love Trance we know the fine details of it, the intro is very nice, awesome bassline, and awesome melodies, great break, perfectly mixed! Very good job!
This is generally a genre I find boring though I like it when it's a melodic, musical piece such as this. People will go crazy on the dancefloor at 0:57 and also groove more when they hear those key changes.
Any mix can always be better but I'm struggling to find any advice on how to improve this. It sounds like fully professional work that could be as popular as pretty much anything else in the trance genre. Well done.
thanks for the kind words static, no i don't use Dave smith synths, i like the look of the mopho though, it produces some right dirty sounds! i mainly just use massive now, as it's the most diverse vst on the market!
glad to see U've come back again Dave .inetersting track iT was , livelY & unco texture with some sepcial proper taste .(p.s:so U too have 2 ID like me !).best wishes.___Behnam

Do you happen to use any Dave Smith synths?

Really enjoyed this. That swirling synth is just fantastic. Good vocal work also.
