Noooooo

This song could have been a million times better if you had taken advantage of a melody that could have (and should have) been expanded to 8 or 16 measures. A little echo on the bell-synth would help too, but those are details. As it is, simply too repetative.

Alrighty then, I guess that differs for each person.

This is gonna be good

Provided, of course, you fix that horrible bass coming in at :14, its so very lonely :( A good pad to fill up the speakers with stereo goodness would add a lot of atmosphere to this song, and I think you could make the main beat even better with a stronger synth and some chord backing. One of the song's strongest points is probably how well the chord progression complements the melody, and it might be worth it to exagerate that a little.

Thanks for reviewing! I'll see what I can do about the intro.

A Melody! D:

Finally, some trance with actual melodic focus. Superb job on this song, the synths are excellent, the mastering/mixing is good, but the song really shines with its focus complex melodies and rapid fire piano. I must listen to your other works :D

Magical

In an indescribable way. I can't say I worship this song, but it has a special quality to it that brings me back again and again.

Thanks. I'm glad you like it.

Superb

There are some compression problems in this song, but the total awesomeness of 1:30, the ambience, and near the end totally make up for it - the beginning is also a little boring, and lacks a real melodic drive. Great job on this though!

Mrmilkcarton responds:

I'm slowly getting better at compression and this is one of the ones that missed good compressing.

This is why I wrote that sytrus tutorial

Too bad I can't make synths nearly as awesome as that. Kickass in multiple ways, although I think the song's a tad TOO generic in that its sometimes difficult to pick out the actual melody and it all kind of blends together. Great work :D

Mrmilkcarton responds:

I looked at your tutorial but didn't exactly want to go through all of it because I like to learn through trail and error. What I did read though was really informative and should be praised for such a detailed tutorial.

I even admit it is pretty generic but the point was that you don't need no fancy VSTI that has presets already there for you when you have sytrus. It has the power to create quality sounds and people need to know that. The best way to get through to people is to make something they like and I myself would listen to.

To anyone reading this reply go check out Blackholes Sytrus tutorials they are amazing!

Thank you for the review and tutorials.

Holy bejeezus

Its hard to find trance better then this. Good variation, amazing reverb and synths, superb mixing - fully deserving of a 10/10

Wow

This is a nice, simple melody, which is amazingly effective in both production and execution. The song may have been a little quiet, but its a superb job regardless.

Thank you very much man.

Holy Crap

There only one thing wrong with this song - its too short. I actually think you could have kept going with that idea for practically another minute. Then you could have swapped out for a third idea, then done a key change back to the first for a finale. But hey, who am I to tell? Superb work on the vocals :D
