Dude! This sounds really cool! O.O
I can say alot, but I don't know where to start.

The melodies you made for this tune, sound really good and definitely sound like trance melodies. A big round of applause for that.

Tips:
Put some reverb on the clap sound, because the clap sounds a bit plain.
Add some reverb to the kick sound too. Hopefully, the reverb sounds good on that kick sound, because sometimes, when you add reverb to certain kick sounds, it makes it sound not so good.

Try the calf reverb plugin, that is included with lmms. That plugin works wonders.
I'll listen to it again and see what else needs to be improved.

PS: I hope Gps hears this tune too.

There is already reverb on the clap @ 4:39 hmmm... maybe it's shallow? or youre asking for the beginning part (which doesnt have a reverb)

Thanks for telling me! and oh, it sounds better if i mixed it properly :geek: but:

the kick is currently connected to a channel where the sidechain compressor is, together with all of the trance leads, rendering the reverb useless, but it caused a good punchy effect <- is this your intention?
it doesnt work well at the intro because it is high passed
What the reverb freq. should be? Honestly I know nothing how putting reverb on kicks because afaik it can make the mixing muddy. [i'm self taught forgive me]

I did a few research:
https://www.gearslutz.com/board/electro ... kicks.html
just discovered it's usually used in techno and trance music

I'm sorry I tried hard about the kick reverb but I dont know if I got it right :cry:

Paging this b0i!
This track was really good, I enjoyed especially the first half.
The Deadmau5 style is flawless on this part, both for the beat style and the famous Serum synth pads.
In the second half, for me, the white noise starts way too loud. I also liked the effects you applied in it to sync it with the beat.


Cool track.

I couldnt agree more hahaha, I legit like the first part more than the pre drop amd beyond.

From 0$ plugins ZynAddSubFx and T Force Alpha plus! :lol:

I also agree with this, but tbh, I dont know what to do when I remove or decrease the volume of those filter sweeps because they aid the clippings with the help of compressor :( tips appreciated
This is really good stuff. I like uplifting trance and you got to the essence.
I think track should be shorter, like in perods of build up without drums.
Other than that, really good work, I aim in creating something like this, in my own way ofcourse :)
Its a good track. I like it.
Thank you very much invain and Gps :)

Actually, the first version had longer trancy parts without the percussion, I decided to cut it due to song length.

I have now updated the song today :) https://clyp.it/zyv5imsp

I'm listening this on good phones, your mix is excellent, everything sits perfectly, all elements are in harmony, loudness of all is great, no fighting frequencies. As my untrained ear can hear :) Maybe I am wrong, but this is very close to professional track.
