Please check out my new track 'Desire' and post your comments here!
i made this with cubase and reason. all sounds made with thor except the piano in the intro and the arp synth was made with vangaurd. i also programmed all the drums. so, what ya think?
the hihats and in general most of the high is a bit too bright and thick-sounding, it could sound bassier if you fixed that somehow,
the sounds of the build are excellent, but some chord development of the piano and synths would improve it,
nicer mid section with the hoovers and whistles
the subsequent drop is a bit too long and again too bright in the high(mid)s
the last synths melody and the recurrence of the piano part at the end dont sit so well harmonically
if you make those more intricate harmonies and melodic development and use variations and additional harmony on them with repeats of the whole section of groove and re-edits of it with this whole track, it could develop into an epic dnb track

Extreme panning should be avoided at all times. It's a bore when on headphones.
Around 3:00 some notes are off tone. around 3:25 again. In fact it happens pretty often that reese and piano are not matching.
Piano sounds way too nice. mixdon needs work it sounds very thin, no bass, kick and snare sound soft and without punch.
Not a bad tune!

i like the build up think it comes in at the rite time everything gose together well and there not to much in it it sounds like it could have some nice vocals in it and maybe the piano should come back in more often if u havnt been useing samples then i say well done bt the layout is very good i like how different things come in and out the drum beat is great u could probaly remix it into a a trance song aswell realy like it an i would probaly rave to it lol thumbs up
ye am lisenin on headphones myself n the piano pannin in the intro is actually a bit off-puttin.rekon u shud keep it panned but less extreme.overall this aint reeaaly my kinda tune not really feelin the trance-like build-up(personally).like the kik when it drops-punchin thru nice jus need a beefier sanre 2 match n a lot more sub bass needed.layer ur snare n split ur main bass into 2 channels n make 1 ur gritty mid bass n make 1 ur pure low sub bass n shud sound fuller alreddy!
ez there man, nice piano melody in the intro could maybe be processed a bit more, touch of reverb would be nice to blend it in some more (either that or sum pads backing it up).
drums sound really good, arps are cool as well, agree with Battle on the panning, try save that for things more like fx instead of mid basses.
mix sounds good, i reckon could just be filled out a bit more, beef up the drums some more (particulary on the low - low mids section of the frequency spectrum)
overall a very neatly produced tune that could benefit from some more impact, nice one man
