so where are the drinks with umbrellas ?

We don't want our drinks to get wet now do we ?

Well anyway, i stumbled upon you listening to unrealdark's "THE EXTRAORDINAIRY", it is extraordinary though. So i listened to a few of your tracks. I like your style, it's kinnda fresh - as in not generic, and that's good.

So let's get to this track, when it started sandy beaches, coctails, sea, sun and people in swimwear came to mind, ahh, ibiza. That was nice. This is more of a house track then trance.

You have a lot of room for improvement though, first off the song is kinnda empty, very little depth, after 0.14 you should add stuff between loops, like subtle percussion hits when a loop ends, a soft filtered snare for example with much reverb to add some depth.

Then the first break is at 0.55, that's way too long, you should make more breaks, they don't necessarily have to be big like that, they can be small subtle breaks like a delayed hat following a reversed cymball crash. Also try using more sweeps, they really help in buildup and add some depth by themselves.

the part from 1.30 - 1.37, didn't really feel like it belongs here, out of place, then later when you mix it in again It wasn't any better.

well with that said, the breaks and buildups that you do ain't bad, i also like the pads that you include occasionally, the melody part that you add at 2.19 that's good and much neaded.

Anyway, you've got some good ideas, you just need some more experience, especially to get rid of that empty feeling. Sorry if it came a little rough, it's just my opinion and you don't have to listen to me, just trying to help mate. Experiment with stuff, try new things, listen carefully to professional music and you'll start to see what's what.

Best way to improve is to keep makin music, see ya later, my drink is getting wet. 7/10 3/5

maer808 responds:

thanks for the very detailed review and yes i'll be taking what you said into consideration. as you can tell im still very new to making music. I'm hoping with people like you who give really good constructive criticism help me become better at doing what i love!

damn, that's trance right there

This is amazing man, i had to fave and download this,
this.. this is trance, real trance, not like the stuff i make and call it trance haha.

Well good work man, very proffesional. Probably the most remarkable thing is the mixing and production overall, you made a 12 min. long track and there wasn't even one unnecessary loop.

So.. it's probably about time you start wearing a top hat and a monocle.

Kazmo responds:

I'm glad you like it!

I'll have to find that old top hat somewhere, I already wear the monocle... ;]

Thanks for the review!

..so..

..So i was looking at this knife i have sittin' on the table and thought, damn that sure is one fine looking knife... i want that knife in me.. but then i heard THIS....

...and died of sugar overdose.
Luckily god was cool enough to let me use his laptop to review this.

well, it's good that you try new things, that thing when you're planing on making something (dream trance in this example), and then you make something else, that happens to me all the time man. I do hate it sometimes when that happens :D.

Ok thyme fo' da proppa review, well the intro reminded me of your generic cristmas song, so i looked outside to see if it was snowing but i got a chocholate egg in my face.

I like the pass from 0.40 - 0.43 that came out nicely. Well you still have your production and mastering skills, the song ain't bad, not my style though, and still too early in development to give a proper rating. So i can't come up with any usefull constructive criticism, sorry mate.

Well it has no noticable flaws, it ain't bad.
Im giving this 9/10 4/5, cuz you cartainly can build on this, and I don't doubt you will, StYleChanger XD.

Anyway it was nice talking to ya man,
I'll be seein ya.

St0rmChaser responds:

lol =P thanks for the good and funny review peck.
Perhaps stylechanger would be a good name for me to yea xD.

Well, make sure to let me know when you have made something,
Dont hesitate to PM me ^^ ill review.

Take Care,
St0rmChaser

Amazing man, i knew you were a genious

Sorry for the late review, im kinnda a mess right now :D,
Anyway this is amazing, im sure i don't have to tell you how awesome the intro is, everybody before me did, i love how you mixed the different piano melodies, the effect is great.

As for the main part later, well the synth is awesome, melody's nice, bass is good, kick also, the only thing bothering me in this song is the snare, i find it really bad, it doesn't sound very high quality, maybe you overdid it on the filters or just chose the wrong snare, but it really does not sound clean, it kinnda distorts the rest of the music, maybe that effect was on purpose, but i think i would sound better cleaner.

Anyway this is amazing, and deffinetely the best thing you have ever done, you have surpassed me greatly with this song, i can't wait for you to finish it.

10/10, 5/5

Have fun man, and I'll see ya around as always.
Good job

unrealdark responds:

It's oke. ;)
It's technically not yet an intro though, I am planning on making another piano play with an pad. The same piano as in here will be still in here though. I'll deffinately change the snare, it's blasting every other sound away. However that was not on purpose. Thanks for the input! And yeah I'll see you around. ;)

Well you said plz REVIEW, so you know... i had to

It's good man, i can see the effort (ok hear, but... yeah) you put into mastering this biotch. Im not gonna go into detail on this one cuz im just tired (sorry mate but i slept for like 3 hours).

I like it, it's good, nice job. 5/5
Im making a new trance track too, gonna let you know when it's done.

Anyway keep up the good work, see ya.

St0rmChaser responds:

Heh :P its okay man, im already glad you reviewed my song :D
Sure thing :D tell me when you have it finished ^^

Take Care,
St0rmChaser

Quite good, with a few touches of genious

Af far as the piano goes, the only thing that bothers me are those 3 low keys per bar. They point out too much, I would try decresing key velocity, volume, or just change them. It's not a big deal though, and maybe it's just me.

Ok than come those synths at 0.14 really nice effect with those, did you use a really close timed slight delay and reverb on that one, and a filter right to get that waving feeling ? Anyway that's really nice. My kind of trance right there.

Hmm then 0.27 that's good all around, well yeah the claps, but that's been already said by HelthRMX (also it's not really such a big deal), I really like the bassline, sounds like a low pitched saw or a PWM.

Good work man, well it's to be expected from a Hollander right. Im coming to your country man, gonna be there 7. 3. on Trance energy in Utrecht.

Anyway, keep up the good work, and see you around. 5/5

unrealdark responds:

Glad that you liked it so far! About the synth it's Nexus>'Sam in heaven' with some mixing effects ofcourse yes. ;D The bassline is home made lol, I mixed it with all the effecs I could to get this electronic feel. Really nice that you're coming to Utrecht for trance energy, I think it's going to be huge! And maybe I'll be there too! :D Thanks for the review, i love it thanks!

nice work

Well dude, what can i say, you're getting better and better really fast. I like the piano intro, the transitions were good, nice melody, really nice melody :D.

I downloaded this one. 10/10 5/5
Keep it up eh.
I'll see you later

DjCoast responds:

thanks man realy enjoy your coments man
ty!!!

Hey man

I was checking teck071's newer songs, and i saw your comments, i was like hmm this guy has some good points. So i got here, and you're not bad kid. You have a good sense for melodies and synths. Everything comes together nicely, the bass synth that comes in at 0.48 maybe goes a little too low, i would limit that with the EQ or use a filter on that, maybe made it sligtly quieter. Other than that i like it.

Just suggestions, im no expert. Anyway i like it, i'll be sure to check your stuff in the future, im gonna check your previous works too.

If you want you can check my songs out, im not good though, and they only recently started to suck less.

5/5, see you around

unrealdark responds:

Well thank you!
I'll fix the bass with some EQ work, it's a mistake I see now.
I'll be sure to check the works of you as well, and review them.
Thanks for the review! ;)

Not bad

You show some nice ideas and promise here, but you also have noticable difficoulties in some areas. The melodies are good, transitions are good too, they don't get boring.

The thing that really stops this track from being better are the beats, in a lot of places the beats just don't go well together with the melodies and/or pads, it sounds very out of place in some areas.

0.14 - 0.28 the pad is really not suited for that beat, that kind of pad is normally used to drive the song toward a transition without any percussion, the beat feels really out of place there. I don't know why you used it, maybe to kill repetition or something ?

also that kick pattern you use in some places like till 1.06, the three kicks per bar, that kind of kicks really don't feel right in your track in my opinion, they tend to really ruin the rhytm.

Anyway, you're pretty good, melodies are nice, song has decent depth, it's mixed quite nicely, with good transitions, it's just that the rhytm kinnda f**ked with you on this one.

Well that's my opinion, take care.

Geoplex responds:

I had been thinking that the percussion needed work, although i have to admit its never been my strong point. I thought the pad at the start fitted ok to be honest. I might go back and completely redo the percussion, because its never something i spend much work on.
Oh and i used the percussion and the pad at the start because i wanted to have percussion in the start of the song and also have it build up. I realize now that ive overlooked a lot of things on this song. Im gonna completely redo a lot of areas in it now...
Thankyou for taking the time to write a review :)

damn, good work

Well as far as loops go, this is probably the best i've heard in a while, if you ever make a song out of this one, it could turn out awesome.

Good work guys, and I'll see you around pal.
