Hello there brothers and sisters!!!
Here is my latest creation. I've been looping it now for the last 2 weeks and don't really know anymore what to do. It looks ready, but some sense says to me to do something on it, but what? I hope to get some critics, feedback and what ever from this one. If don't make anything on this one will be the feedback learning for the future... Thank you in advance!!

Hi Frosty Fennic!
I found your track really nice. The groove, the tom breaks (I love this kind of breaks as Lunarave's).
I think the track need in one way to cleanup with mix melodies and give more spectral space to kick&bass (specially bass)...and find a more pulsating sound. (that dancefloor feelings that you are touching sounds with your fingers  )
I would listen more evolution on timbric parts of melodies. Not just in melodic line. (maybe changing values of the synth or sending the same MIDI data to another synth?)
And finally (but it's just a question of tastes) to add psychedelic sound fxs, stabs, squelches to bring up the song and to make it more psychedelic.
The track is going in the good way.
Boooom |

Hi CarlitoLove!
Thank you for you feedback!
For sure will cleanup useless stuff away that is the first thing on my mind. Have to have more clear mind on making it.
I normally add those last sound fx:s in the end when everything else is in the order.
By the way any suggestion for finding nice synth sounds or synths generally what you guys use??

That is a big question. Maybe a big thread can be useful for that.
I find that in trance music production there are some flow that are "standardize". Structures, Kick breaks, basic basslines. At the same time is very intersting the way how people synthesize leads and melodic stuffs. And here is the universe of creativity that make every producer different.
I'm interested to find differents flow to build up melodies.
I mainly use 3 and their variotions:
1.Program the synth over bass midi notes (or variotion of the bassline). Usually sequenced synths o arp synth. Searching a groove that fit with bassline and kick.
2.Program a sequenced synth (in which sequence there is the melody) on chords sustained notes. After that change parameters every 16 bars.
3.Write down melodies in midi sequence with the keyboard on a preset lead that sound nice into the mix and after that find differents programs on the same melodic phrase.
FabFilter Volcano 2 and Timeless 2 are good plugins to tweak and create original fxs.
For Stabs/Fxs/Uplifters/ -> It's another world. Try to reverse leads and cut'em up. Many times you get very groovy trancy staffs. Also reversed reverbs.
Synths I use. I don't have any hardware synth. It's about 3 years learning with softs. I'll buy some good machines when I feel I can really produce good music.
VST SYNTHS I USE: Vanguard, Sylenth1, V-Station, z3ta+, FabFilter Twin2/One
HARD SYNTHS? There are plenty of them!
First at all Virus TI. It's a really complete machine.
Many people speak about Prophet but I've never listen in person.
Nord Family
Also are nice Dave Smith Instruments (Tetr4 can be good for certain stuff).
I don't know I feel like you can do everything with VIRUS TI, but maybe I'm wrong.

Very interesting, i have those VST:s here what you have as well but on top of that ive been trying to use Zebra and Zebralette, Massive, FM8 and DSP Discovery Pro which is a kind of software modulation from Nord Lead hardware synth. Very raw sounds just the way i like.

zebra and zebralette are fine, I didn't try them deeply. I should. Massive also can give you good sounds. I don't know Discovery Pro. I'll look around. Good tip. thanks.
keep tracing man |
