Hey. Nice to see you back Akashyap. :D
I'll check them out in a while. 8-)
hey thanks brandy .... maybe I have compressed too much in couple of songs . but i have fixed and reposted most now .. got a pro account now so can change songs on same link ... did you come up with a remix to cosmic party yet ? no hurry though .
Hey man, right off the bat I will suggest that you should not post too many songs at the same time for people to review at once because it can be super overwhelming. With that being said, I tried to listen to every single track you posted in order to give you some feedback.

Long story short, I think every single track is pretty good and has potential. As a person who does not listen to trance avidly, I would suggest you add some more variety and make your songs more unique.

I feel like I could give you better, honest opinions if there wasn't so many tracks to dissect at once. All in all, I like the direction your going
Hi Kaba . thanks for the feedback and listening to my tracks. Well, sorry about so many tracks , I recently added playlists and better songs to my profile and fixed all my previous songs that's why I got so many good songs suddenly . Yes thanks about the variety feedback .. I was also thinking but thought will do it later after making more songs. But will do so now .. maybe add filler elements and different kinds of eg claps for every section .. introduce stops and more .. i'm making a trance now which has a lot more variety in general and includes few things which I didn't know in these tracks. .
No need to apologize ! Sorry if my first comment came off as rude. It was just really overwhelming to try giving you good feedback with so much music at once :lol: Keep expanding on your collection !! Thanks for giving a couple of my tracks a listen too. Appreciate that :)

Bump.
All of these tracks are really cool. :)
But one of the main culprits, is the kick drum sound.

Deep canyon rushes: In all honesty, this one is really nice.
But a few problems:

The bass in this track should be louder.

And the kick drum sound, should have lower volume, because it stands out too strongly
and too sharply, in the track. Maybe, a different kick drum sound, might suit this track more?

This one needs some slightly louder pad sounds.


----------------

Melodicity: Aye. The musical composition of this is great.
The bass has good nice volume. And the build ups in this are cool.

But when the kick drum comes in, the track starts to sound a bit too loud and distorted.
And I hear some clipping too.

A nice pad sound, playing in the background, would make this track sound fuller
and cooler too.

I would say that all this track needs, is some serious volume balancing work.

-----------------

Sonic-bounces: I haven't heard a trance track of this style, in a long time.

This one also needs some volume balancing work, on all of the sounds.

Adding a pad sound in the background with generous volume, would fill this track up nicely.

And the kick drum sound, sounds a bit too sharp and stands out too much.

-----------------

MysticalTunnels: My goodness! This one is amazing!
And the musical composition in this is superb. 8-)
The synth melodies in this one, are really amazingly cool and have good volume too.

Okay:
The kick drum needs to sound fuller.
And the instruments in this track needs some volume balancing.

--------------

Okay, I'll listen to the rest soon. (The last 2.)
So far the first 4 tracks I've listened too, all sound really good.
The only problem, is that the tracks need some volume balancing.
And a few pad melodies here and there, to add more coolness to the tracks and fill them up more.
But your trance melody composition skills, are really really good. And it shows well in these tunes.

PS: And I'm curious, what kick drum sound are you using?
Hi Brandy, and thank you for the nice feedback. I am already making a track where I have added more reverbs to pads and more pads for a more fuller sound. Chorus on pads might also feel good I think. And I will fix all other things like you advised, and now that I have a pro account , I can replace the tracks on the same links.

I am not using any external samples or presets at all. For kicks , I am using different default samples kicks1-4 , and bassdrum along with c*clipper and clipping on , then bass enhancers , equalizers low pass filters high pass filters and more, and different kinds of kicks to make 1 complete kick. Maybe I should use better kick samples from somewhere ? or tweak my eq and other filters more ? Or maybe I'm using too many filters ? or too many kicks ?

My speakers are also faulty and they are not playing some frequencies properly and recently I realized that I was skipping those frequencies altogether when making music to make it sound good I think. I am also making music using headphones which I heard is bad practice right ?

I am also mastering right inside lmms at the time of export using some calf plugins for mastering, which I found to be pretty satisfying , but maybe it's not perfect and I should first export and master in ardour ? I also only enhanced the bass in most of these songs using only ear, and not exact frequencies depending on my scale . Ill try to make it exact or a sub scale maybe it will sound better .
