This is basically extremely tight and well produced.
I do think that the bassline is blocking the low end of the kick slightly, so that the bassline is dominating the kick a little - but that might be deliberate, and it is a great bass patch!
I really like that you have some almost oldskoolish acid lines going up and up at places.
I also like how much the structure of the tune jumps around - loads of different sections, but they always hang together and feel part of the same tune properly - this is a lot more difficult than it sounds without becoming repetitive, so kudos to you.
As to the actual ideas, this isn't the sort of psy I'm personally that into - so others will be of more help there obviously!
Technically, and structurally, I am impressed

Thank you!!
Yeah! it's blocking a little, i didn't notice properly, i'm going to move the EQ-Peak of the bass down to 47Hz and the Kickdrum peak to 55Hz, that will make just a tiny tiny difference. We're talking like 5Hz difference lol. To me, it's essencial for the bass sound to have a rumbling lowend. Lol,
But i notice most psytrance producers don't have 2osc's on their bassline. One Saw and one Sine.
Usually you will just hear a single saw!
My guess is because most people want the lowend to sit in the kick and not the bass itself.
Well i do have been working on the structure for a while! I'm glad you noticed, kind of. That must mean i'm doing something right, hahaha.
I'm very grateful for your feedback and the effort you put in it!

Hey buddy, nice one, @ 3:53 big smile over my face, rest of the track just flows nicely
Agree with Speakafreaka about structure
I'm on some shity headphones, so can't comment about production, but it sound good here
As I said earlier, evolution in your tunes is just great, every track is better and better

@Xsze: Thanks a lot! nothing more warming than bringing smiles on peoples faces! I'd say that's my main goal about my tunes. It's all about the vibe i guess
So you'd say i still make progress? That's not always something, i as a producer am able to notice! Thanks a lot for listening!
Oh and have a happy new year!

really cool track man
and yes you need to fix bass line and kick like the guy telling you.
one more thing on 0.51, i think you need to fix it from intro to start.
make some crash boom then bass line and kick start
but really cool track man will done

Damnit Steffen, you gotta teach me your ways! Incredibly well produced tune! Loving the chord progression. All synths fit each other and like the other guys said, the structure is great.
I'd really love to see how you work on melodies, that's where I struggle most and obviously where you excel. At the same time I feel like crap compared to you but on the other hand you inspire me to try harder haha. |

Right now i feel like i'm going to stay flattered throughout eternity. Thank you! Helping you out won't be a problem at all! at least i don't see why there would be one
I tried to fix up the drowning kickdrum a bit! but i'm on headphones! it''s way more audible on speakers, isn't it?
Updated the link, does it sound okay, anyone? ehe..
