Awesome, the part after the drop section needs a bit of a change to it (the part before the outro) just sounds to repetitive. I'd suggest 2 downward chord changes. Also the sidechain is just too much on the lead synth.

Besides that it has great composition and melodies! Great stuff. If you're thinking anjuna you definitely are headed the right direction. I'm insanely jealous of those pads and white noises. I'm just awful at making both. :P

Do you mean the build into the outro (4:30) or the the outro itself (5:00)? What do you mean 2 downward chord changes? Okay I'll tweak the sidechain a bit! Thanks for the suggestions.

Getting on Anjunabeats is my ultimate dream, I'd be able to die peacefully haha. Since you know Olafur Arnalds, do you think this remix is acceptable and does enough justice? lol

For those who have been following my first post, here is the rest of the it! I wanted to create a complete song before going back to fix the minuscule details. Let me know if something should be taken out or put in, technical issues, anything! Thanks for all the feedback (:

If you don't mind me asking what did you use for that supersaw for the song in your signature? Also what vst/samples did you use for the strings? I for the love of God can't find anything for strings and it'd be HUGELY appreciated!

I created the supersaw myself in sylenth1. It's actually two layers of sylenth1's. The first is a dry, up-front synth in the mid range and the second is a more wet saw with white noise in higher frequency range. After I grouped them, I put an audio effect rack that contains two chains within it. The first one is completely dry while the second has a ton of delay and reverb to get the full sound you hear.

Dude I know the feel, for the longest time I was trying to recreate orchestral strings but it never sounded quite right. I ended up buying Ableton (had a cracked version before) and the strings came as a downloadable sound pack.

Damn, this is tight. Can't think of any good constructive criticism, but it sounds great on my speakers too.

Awesome to know! I think the last thing I have to do is get the mixing levels on this right, then it should be done.

really good stuff here man. You're one of the only people on this forum also making trance that I have been following. Your breaks are wonderfully deep, wide, and balanced. I'd love to see where that project ends up when it's finished!

I'm on headphones but I'll give it another go at home on my system.

Haha yeah I haven't found many other trance producers here! I guess it's not as popular but I'm sticking with it ;P Thanks for the comment, I think I'm getting a grip on the breakdown of trance, now I'll have to work on the other aspects of this song.

Not that I can tell! I mean, I'm listening on headphones, which gives a "false" sense of width some might say, but I listen to a lot of stuff on headphones, and this sounds professional. I'd have to listen on some nice speakers to give you a better answer, but I don't have nice speakers at the moment. ;)  Keep up the good work!

Okay perfect, I'm definitely trying for the professional sound. Still have yet to reach that level where I can submit my mixes to labels but it's reassuring that I'm on the right track, thanks!

Dang, that's really nice! I'm not even sure what to say, hard to criticize anything about it. :-)  Is there anything in particular you'd like feedback on?  The mix sounds good and wide, it's lush and doesn't hurt my ears (quite the contrary)...  Sounds awesome.

Hey thanks man! So far my problem has been creating the right amount of depth/width in my music. I could never get the musical spacing right-- Sometimes it's too wide, sometimes it's too narrow. Could you noticed if it was "off" in piece?

Nice song! As the others said, vocals are a bit too loud. Maybe you can play around with the vocals to create a wider, reverbed effect instead of panning. Also it sounds like sub is in stereo? Try putting it in mono, it sounds a bit disorienting with wide subs. Other than that, I like this groove (:

Hey guys, I've been listening to a lot of modern classical music like Olafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm so I decided to remix on of their songs, Near Light. This is just the breakdown so it's really short. Let me know what you think! Feedback is always welcomed here.

Don't know if you've ever watched this, but he did an interview with Sonic Academy a while back and gave some little insights into some of his habits and his 'wall of sound' style. It's worth a look anyway..

Damn just watched this, so inspiring! Gave very insightful advice as well. I want to try a collaboration at some point, any San Francisco trance enthusiasts want to give it a shot?! Two brains are better than one (:

Inspiration/Creativity/Motivation / Re: Motto or Mantra that motivates you.

I work at a company that makes a lot of huge motivational posters every day that employees can take home. This particular one definitely motivates me with everything.

"If you do nothing, nothing happens."

Basically, work for what you want and don't expect success without the journey of getting there.
