Tech trance (Unnamed) by Wayne Fontaine
positives…
-love the 1st riff!!
-nice wide bass.
-the energy in the big breakdown is wkd.
-nice break mate!!
-nice job on the sweeps mate. especially the delays. makes the transitions spot on!
possible criticisms…
-ya can hear some issues with the e.q like. im also havin troubles gettin that spot on. its not that bad though. just a little bit of work to do there
-maybe the middle of the track gets a bit lost, possibly add a hat loop, or another one if there is one already there.
thats about it mate. nice 1

Cheers mate! Did you listen past the 6.42 mark when the main riff from the build up comes back in… a bit diffrent from most tech trance I think?
Yeah few EQ issues to iron out… when you say in the middle of the track are you talking abut the build up section or after it kicks it?
can you see on the waveform between the 2 breaks??
that bit!!!
like i mean after it really kicks off, maybe it starts gettin lost toward the big break??
yeah, I’ll try adding some more tomorrow, I think I also put a bit to much bit on some parts in the main tune. Could do with somemore hat action over all I think.
what synths do u use for trance wayne??
sylenth, nexus and vangard mainly… got loads more but havent really used them to much. sylenth seems to be my fav the now but only because of this site.
before I got ableton I used the subtractor and the malstrum on reason but was no where near as good on reason as I am with ableton.
You??
Really really nice buddy!
Nice breakdown and solid build to a wicked drop! You polish this up a good un and i could see it getting signed.
Points of concern:
I did feel the break / build up went on a little too long, remember people have a short attention span, especially on the dancefloor.
The high end / mids needs brightening up a bit.
Otherwise really solid production dude, very nice!

Thanks for the feedback mate! Yeah, EQ is key I think, maybe its just me but dont you think the bass drum could be more outstandish as well?
Will go back over the EQing tomorrow.
And yeah, very very good point about peoples attention span! Will rebuild the build up a little too.
Thanks for the feedback so far guys
Awesome mate. I love it! :). I kind of like the long break to be honest with you. It adds such a release when your main bit really kicks in.

I love long breaks but think I better please all if I wanna get anywhere in the business… gotten figure out a way of shortening the break without losing the suspense and tension, might have to lose some of the stab build or something… not sure yet.

I agree mate about the long breaks.
Yes, I think that’s what’s best man. Take out your kick build up and just drop it straight in, maybe use it later on in the song.
My best advice is to listen to a song you like with a long break, maybe rabbitweed by sasha and use the arrangement.
ya see thats what the trance breaks are about. big, long and building a s**t load of
tension.
i like the break!!
its what its all about baby!!!
yeah,
i use sylenth and vanguard but im defo plannin on gettin nexus, asap
gettin mac in sept so im gonna wait til then!!
damn i really like this!
