Well, I've been slaving over this one since November '04. The music took me a couple of months. Then I sat on it until the vocalist finally came to Ontario. (She's a professional singer/violinist/pianist/teacher residing in Edmonton).:)
The hardest part was incorporating the vocals. The mixdown was WAY tougher than I thought...whew!..I don't know if its any good at all but it's my first attempt at anything with VOX so....
I'm happy with the music though.:D
This song was done entirely in PROJECT5. Can't say enuff good stuff about it! Thanks Cakewalk!
Please gimme a listen and a comment! I'll do the same fo' sho!

Awesome track but I do have a comment about the vocalist. It sounds kinda like she was singing falsetto giving a kind of cheesey feeling to the track. If I were to record her, I'd definantly have her sing an octave lower. The effects on the vocals are awesome but she sounds too much like she is singing opera instead of trance vocals :). Think Whiteroom - Someday when you think of an awesome example of vocals. Either way, great job man.
Cheers,
Zac
P.S. listening to it again, I also might take the vokes down a decidel, doesnt sound liek much but the vokes stick out a bit too much. |

Hehe, sounds relly cheesy... Not really my type of style but I bet it was cool for you to work with vocals!
Also it sounds like your quantize is a bit f*cked? Everything seems a bit out of sync.
Anyways... you should work with her and make something deeper! |

I feel that the kick lacks a bit, same with the bass.
That melody that plays in the intro, needs a more uplifting synth, to set some feeling or drive.
The saw synth that kicks in with the vocals is a bit to weak
Lacks some atmosphere the intro/buildup.
Yes it gets a bit cheesy , but that is taste.
I must say i like the way how the vocals are placed in the mix.
Can't say i really liked the main part, it didn't really add anything new.
Thats all mate, it needs work :) |

Omg I hate soundclick soooo much :whip:
Anyway, here's what I think of the track:
Cool portamento-melody!!
Special feel to this tune. Really progressive..
You should have added much more reverb to the vocals.
And turned them down..
The vocals vary in volume... You should have worked more on those. The music is cool, imo. |

Massive/Darksword I agree completely with you ... glad to hear you two say the same things as what I was kinda thinking...it makes it clear to me. She is a soprano, so no wonder it sounds like opera to us...I had her try and sing staccato (punchy and not holding the note) so this is how it turned out.
She's never listened to trance and it really comes out in this, I know.:(
Thanks for listening Alex...I'll work more on the vocals. I've been at them for 2 weeks and Im just ready to be done with them now...guess I should take a break on it for awhile and come back fresh, eh?:happy2: |

listening:
starts up with some strange synths, dont like the build up here much really.. lacks some drive too it.. really cool vocal introduction here (were she is just aahhinG)
really like what u are trying to make here, got loads of potential, great progressive effects.. the lead sound there is really cool... i think the arrangement is a little messy, alot of unclear sounds and stuff.. the vocals are really original.. there`s a lot of lead melodies here, thats cool..
love the idea.. but quite frankly it needs to be produced better.. |

lolololol
I wouldn't class this as trance, but damn, this would make a really good theme song for a cartoon or something (mabye an adventure anime?). A few sections of the track(with emphasis on those cool vocals) would sound awesome for the theme of a cartoon series. As soon as I heard it I thought of this old cartoon series called "The mysterious cities of gold". |

YOu know, you are exactly right! It would make some slick ANIME based theme! LOL
:haha: |
