Hi All
It’s been a while since my last post, but I’m back with a request for feedback.
I was aiming for sort of trance vibe but not sure whether one could call it that!
As always, any constructive feedback would be very much appreciated!
Best regards
Adam
Hi there Adam,
Nice elements in this track for sure, but can’t say it’s really hitting the Trance Music ballpark, at the moment it feels a bit of a blend of Melodic Techno with a few elements that could be considered like Trance ( like the main synth riffs starting at around 1:10 ), but it’s more Melodic Techno sounding IMO.
Not sure about your track BPM, but you might want to aim for 130 / 132 BPM range for Trance Music, especially with this kind of kick/drums patterns ( different than the regular 4x4 ), increasing the BMP gives a totally different feel for this genre of music.
Have a listen to tracks like Cosmic Gate & Emma Hewitt “Be Your Sound” or “Barra” for reference, you’ll get the idea about the BPM playing well and adding more energetic/uplifting feel to this kind of music.
Love the intro until 1:10 ( but again, it’s more sounding Techno to me ).
There’s some timing issue with the more “Trance-ish” synth riffs at some point, feels out of sync ( listen from the drop at 1:33 and forward ).
Also very busy during this drop, not sure about adding a lower octave synth and some other “glitch” sound layers there, the darker you go, the more Techno feel you’re ending with IMO.
The break could benefit of keeping some synth elements ( still if you’re aiming for Trance ) and be a bit more dreamy/cloudy.
The track structure and arrangement is good and there’s nice transitions elements, keep this.
So yeah, nice one overall : not sure what you’d like to do with it but to me it’s either going into Melodic Techno from the intro and then revisiting synth and sound choice from there, or maybe try to work at a higher BPM and revisit the main synth part anyway.
Hope this helps and keep it up !
