I finally got percussion right for this break track and solid basslines that i actually didn't come up by my self. I hope later i can get better and make me own, boy they look different from trance basslines patterns. opinions welcome.

Originally posted by Vernon Wanderer Here is the only worthy WIP in the past 6 months, somehow the inspiration is just gone. My main question is if the cello is out of sync? It seems out of sync to me, but i just can't find a way to fit it in properly. Maybe i should throw it out

I think the cello sounds out of sync because a cello sound often has a slow attack better for playing long notes. I am guessing the synth/sample you are using for the cello has a slow attack and doesn't adapt to shorter notes like what play in your song. If a person (rather than a synth/sample) was playing it live they would adapt their method of playing to create a faster attack on the notes (as in a piece like Bach's Cello suite no. 1 prelude). Also I think the cello should be turned up a bit (if you still use it). I think I get the vibe you are going for with the track. Maybe too many elements playing in the same frequencies is making it a bit muddy? Maybe some panning would help.

Your the best, the last one, the remix. I just finished it, cheers.

@evolve140: Nice deephousey sound. Mix seems tight on headphones. You have a lot of variations going on but I'd personally like to hear a bit mnore variation with the bass by (perhaps) leaving it out here and there.

@Paulino: It feels really uncomfortable from the 30second mark and as soon as the bassline comes in at the one minute mark that is confirmed even more. If you'd leave out the pads or change the key that will most likely be solved instantly. This problem keeps rearing its head throughout the entire track unfortunately. Furthermore I miss tension build ups to make the music exciting. After every break the kick just drops in out of the blue.




I've been making some music with a good friend yesterday:

In most progressive trance/house I think it is unusual for the bass to play the same note through the entire song. The lead that comes in about 2:42 doesn't really fit into the song to me because the bass and background elements do not change notes with it. Also, I think there is a conflict of styles in the song, one more atmospheric progressive house and the other a more trancey vibe (like the lead, kick and bass). One other thing, as I click through the song it has a uniform feel to it, without much contrast. I would have a section or two which is quieter and more mellow in order to provide contrast for the rest of the song. The mixing and sound design is pretty good to me, but a lot of the elements don't fit in the same song.

I really like this so far. Really professional production work (which isn't surprising as I know you've worked with respected labels and had DJ support) Nothing else really to say about it other than I hope to hear the finished version in the near future.
