You had me at the drop at 1:27. Mixing Drum 'n Bass with orchestral sounds can't be easy to do. The mixing technique really reminds me a lot of Noisia. Good job on this.

Not really much to say. I've heard this chord progression abused too much to really enjoy it anymore sadly. Random key changes really made it awkward for me, and besides that there's no real structure to this tune. As far as synths go, I have a code I go by, "if you can tell which DAW is used in a tune because of the sounds used, something's wrong." Try tweaking some stuff here and there to make the sounds more of your own. ;) The percussion was very FL'ish as well. The distorted lead was kind of iffy too; something smoother would have been better imo. Doesn't seem like much equalizing went into this. That's definitely a skill you should learn and try to master. ;)

Keep producing!

You have good ideas I gotta tell ya. Here's the thing. There's no glue in this song; it's really just a bunch of sounds running parallel to each other. I've noticed this same feel in other tunes you've produced, it's quite a consistent problem that can be easily fixed. Glue = bass, so go nuts with that. Keep it up.

You can take is so much further though, it sounds horribly incomplete. Arp is a bit too prominent. No real buildup, overall not enough texture in my opinion. The repetitive kick is really irksome, but that's just my personal taste. adding a flowing beat to this would make it very chillout, a genre that's lacking on NG.

g'jorb, keep at it.

Is this a joke submission? Haha. This is a hugest misuse/abuse of dblue I've ever heard. Everything's so dissonant. It also isn't ambient for how much that's worth.

If you were going for a really awkward feel, good job? Other than that, really, use dblue with respect or it'll kill your track in one swift critical strike swoosh.

"Hmm."

submission: Trancotic Symphony Remastered

This might come across as harsh, but overall this sounds really cheap and tacky.

-The kick is drowned out, and it sounds panned to the left? Protip: Bassy things should almost ALWAYS stayed centered under most circumstances. Trying to add experimental components to trance is a very make-or-break move. Mess with things like compression and equalization (don't use para eq2 if you can help it; it's very cpu intensive and para eq does equally as good of a job). Your kick should be a huge source of intense bass and energy, and there should be another intense source within the intervals of the kicks (usually it's a very stern bass, but it can be other things like pads, percussion, etc).

- No energy. You kind of just took some presets, threw 'em together, made them in harmony. Try experimenting with different things, like modulation, gating, LFO modulation, automation, etc. Trust me when I say it's the little things that no one recognizes that really makes a track stand out from the rest.

I don't really like any of the synths used, they're all really tacky--most definitely all presets. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with using presets for the most part, but if you just let them stand out so conspicuously, it strays away from originally. The percussion is meh. The clap drives me insane! Trance, believe it or not, has very intricate drum patterns. Adding more high-end things (bongos, hats, hats, more hats, open hats, closed hats, rides, and hats) will help a LOT with originality and charisma of the track.

As far as arrangement goes, I really like this tune. It has a good foundation to work on. And with the proper care, it can definitely turn into a great mix. :)

Sorry if this sounds harsh, it's not really my intention to. It's definitely got potential. :D keep it up man!

I'm not even going to try critiquing this. Everything flows beautifully. Great transitions. Great buildup, overall just a really great arrangement. I'm not really a trance guy, but this is just awesome. Hell, it even loops! I also don't download much from NG either, but I feel this song is a necessity.

Really great job on this man! 5/5, downloaded, favorited.
