"Great!"

submission: Where you from... {696}

date: August 27, 2009

This is definitely some good trance... some guy told me I was too critical of his trance because I didn't understand what good music was... and I just have to refer to your track... this shit is good. It is lively, unnerving, somewhat uncomfortable, and flowable (I know that's not a word, but oh well)... I like how each measure is begging for the next measure to upstage that measure.

Anyway... great job. This could be taken so many ways positively although I critique shit hard, I can't vote any less than 5/10... :)

Making notes as I'm listening

Great intro

Oh I like the buildup maybe a tad too much at 0:56... but now listening to 1:19, it makes sense to buildup fast...

2:12... maybe quicker fade... but I LOVE the piano coming in... and 2:37 distortion is freakin' cool.

3:29... nice break.

4:45... I'm just smiling and enjoying :)

Well this shit kicks ass. This is some excellent trance. I appreciate your work.

5/9

"Good times"

Typing notes as I listen.

0:37 during the fade in and fade out of strings, I would use bells or something else instead of strings in my opinion.

3:30 friendly trance is enjoyable to listen to. has a feel good quality to it. I like it.

5:00 back to fading strings... I don't like it too much and at 5:50 too much strings with no fade

6:00 same friendly trance... not much variation... but it is a good sound, so its fun to listen to.

I think when listening to feel good trance, the longer you listen, the better it is... so I have no problem with the length of time.

I am really bothered by the fading strings... there has just got to be a better sound to use. I don't know what it was, but it didn't seem to fit.

Nice job. I could listen to the middle all day. 3/8

"Oh yeah baby..."

submission: Bring Me Up

date: August 15, 2009

I made some notes while listening.

You have a theme in the melody which is a low base line every 4 measures. If you could just wait until 0:40 to bring that in, I think this would be perfect. I feel like when you brought it in so early at 0:20, it kind of lost it's build up.

At 0:40 was freakin' brilliant

1:25 very nice.

4/9

"I'm not a big fan"

submission: Zeviron - Crimson Sunset II

date: August 15, 2009

Sorry... I just don't think this is trance. The beginning starts out as trance, but once you get to 1:50 it turns into noise.

I think your beginning is great... I think if you improved on the beginning so the notes are not so choppy from one to another, you have an excellent sound.

I was typing as it was playing, and at 1:50... there is just too much snare drum, and the melody is very sing songy. There is also not much variation in your melodic theme until the close at 5:36... it sounds like there is not much else to it.

My opinion is that if you take your theme in the beginning, which is very good, and build on that to your melody, you will have a good track. But honestly I would reconsider almost the entire song from 1:50 until the end.

I hope I don't like sound an a-hole to you... I just listen to a lot of trance and want to help.

1/3

"its an ok sound... but"

submission: (J-Yo) Lost In Time

date: August 15, 2009

this is not trance at all... its more dance... but it is not as upbeat as dance. I don't exactly know what to call this. It definitely has no trance quality to it.

It is a good sound, it is just categorized differently. 2/6

"I like it"

submission: [DN] Dreams {RM} (NG Cut)

date: August 15, 2009

Not to be too critical, but most of it was pretty standard and nothing too exciting... but it was enjoyable. Having said that 3:00-3:47 is excellent. That is good trance. Nice job 4/8.

"That tinny sound is not really appealing to me"

submission: [e99] Everlasting

date: August 15, 2009

That high pitched metallic sound really did nothing for me. I thought it was distracting me from enjoying it more.

But your breaks at 0:54 and 1:32 and 3:01 were freakin' awesome... it was such a seamless transition that I had to keep listening. 3/7

Score: 8

"Good sound"

submission: Continuity (NG Edit)

date: August 15, 2009

I like it. I felt the transitions were a bit sudden... I guess the hardest thing about trance is the smooth transition from one measure to the next. There are some great cuts... I just would like it to move a little more gradually. Nice work 4/8

Score: 10
