Howdy folks. I mainly (try) to produce psytrance but have attempted my first uplifting trance track.
Any feedback welcome. I'll note that I do have a 2nd revision of this which is "nearly done" which adds a bit more low end and shortens the track slightly, mainly cut from the middle section.

@sib3r Loving this one mate.
I'm only listening on my laptop speakers at the minute, but I'll take another few listens on the headphones later and drop some proper feedback 👊
In case you want to say thank you 👍

Can't comment on structure or style as it's not my bag to be honest. I think it could do with a bit more of a play with the mixdown. My first thought was that I'm struggling to hear the kick drum over the bassline. Other than that it sounds pretty decent

Liked it!
Liked the structure. Maybe a tiny bit more kick and imo I think the synths and/or the bass is masking the voice. The overall sound is pretty good.
Question: - do you rely mostly on sample packs or do you do make your sounds from scratch?
Cheers!

@xplunka Hey mate sorry just seen this, yea I def need to sort the low end out that's for sure! Thank you for sharing the same feedback.
So the only samples I use, are vocals, and various one shots for kick, snare, hats etc. All the synth.main leads I make myself, along with the bass and/or bass patches.
Some FX I make/mould myself and others are from splice. I like making my own risers in some of my tracks 🙂

@sib3r Ez dude. Cheers for the patience. Madness here!
I'm loving whats here. The riffs, bass pattern, arrangement, vocal, and musicality are all great. I'd say its 90% of the way there.
Like you and the others mentioned, definitely get that kick punching through some more, add a bit more in the low end, and tweak the levels slightly.
Try using a reference track to A/B the levels against so that you can get to the finish line quicker.
Trance is a tough one cus it's so layered. It's the subtle stuff in the background that gives it the depth and movement.
I watched this video the other day that explains it well. I'm gonna go back to my last Trance WIP using these tips myself:

@sib3r Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I still lose myself in the rabbit hole of presets for synths. But it´s a journey and I´m learning with it. 🙂

@xplunka I know there is a bloody lot of them and hard to decide sometimes. Alot of trial and error. One of the easiest synths I use that I find also helps teach you the sound design aspects (Mainly cos it's so slick to use and the visual feedback is amazing) is VITAL, and it's FREE 🙂 There is a massive amount of amazing free presents out there for this, which can be used as is or used as a a starting point and you can play around with them. Hit me up if you want the presets shared.

@Sib3r I actually have the free version of Vital and I´ve been neglecting it. Gonna explore it more and yes, I would like to grab my hand on those presets. 😀
Being a rock guy 🙂, I´m just discovering the synth world. I have Serum (of course) and a bunch of other synths laying around my daw. What is your opinion on Pigments 6? Thanks n Cheers!

@xplunka I'll round them up for you when I'm back on my workstation 🙂
So I don't yet have SERUM... I'll get it one day but I'm a bit of a cheapskate.
I do have pigments, I managed to get Pigments 5 for about £70. And of course they have just released V6 and I get a free upgrade so need to test that out. Pigments 5 though I have enjoyed using. I feel if it was slightly more slick like vital it would be perfect.

@Sib3r Thanks! That is going to help a lot!
They have an intro price for Pigments 6 for 69 euros. I think I might buy it...especially because of the free upgrades. I´ve watched a demo in Youtube and although it looked a bit complex, in a medium turn, it might turn into a power tool. 🙂

@xplunka @sib3r Pigments is definitely worth getting. Some really nice sounds in there.
I still didn't install the upgrade to 6 yet though. Have either of your tried it? I'm gonna watch some YouTube videos on it now and see whats new...

@xplunka Awesome. I'm gonna do the upgrade when I get to the studio today. The v6 updates looks good. I watched this video on it earlier.
