Long time no review

That click at the beginning might be due to an automation clip not being snapped to the gird properly.
As for the song I think there could be a better flow to the percussion. I think maybe a sharper hitting kick that's not so decayed would sound a bit better too. Also I think the pad should be a little louder maybe even high pass a bit, and I think maybe just a tad more reverb to the lead might sound good. Then there's mastering but that's just some thing you learn with more and more practice xD

I see you're going with Electro/House a lot. Good stuff keep it up. I've tried some of it but then again I've tried a lot of stuff haha.
Check out my new demo submission if you have time.

kthx

[Verbose [5LR]]

hmm

I think the missing part (IMO) would be like a calm down where the piano isn't playing so often, then a pick up.
This whole song, for a trance song, feels like the break down. More of an ambient trance. So I would probably change the percussion around to more of a breakbeat maybe. I'd probably also add more delayed pluck ambient sounds too. Oh and a pad here and there, in the calm down would be nice.
Now the mastering. Even though it's more of a personal thing. I'd probably bring down the bass, the synth at 1:50 i would probably bring down too. raise the drums up a little, and I think the piano is fine.
I just think the bass is the biggest problem. The level that it's at, is way too high and a lot of attention is drawn towards it.
well that's all I can think of, but hey it's your song mix it how you want haha. xD anyways the piano melody I loved just got repetitive cos of it's consistency
good so far though.

ShadowsOfLight responds:

Thanks :) I'll make a new version! Not really aproducer really, more of the guy that promotes!

[DJ XeMeX - Mr. Tokyo]

[KgZ- Your Night is My Night]

Nice

reminds me of daft punk xD

KgZ responds:

damn right it does

needs more robot rock though

[|ZiNiTY| hardstyle track]

cool

I like the nintendo sound and it's melody. I think you could make this song more epic with build ups though. oh and I subscribed your youtube channel.

If you have time check out some my more recent submissions.

Zinitymusic responds:

thanks!:)

[Acid Dream]

pretty cool

It's not really that repetitive till the ending, but repetitiveness is key in trance/techno. Also there's a lot going on in the song. Mashed up you could say but I assume that's what you were going for.
Anyways nice tune and if you could check out my new submission that'd be great.

[Faron Woods (Acoustic Cover)]

LOZ

I've beat that game like 10 times by now xP
Anyways, nice cover. Only thing I would say is that it needs a tad bit work with volume level adjustments. Otherwise this was great.
9/10 - 5/5
oh and if you don't mind, would you check out my new submission here

Hound-Of-Winter responds:

You're right about the volume bit. I've always sucked at mastering and feel like I need help once I've gotten the writing & recording for a song done. Thanks for the review, mate.
