There's some flamming going on with the top of the snare/clap and the top of the kick.. it could be a compression thing, or just that the snares etc. are too far off the beat. I like the general idea though, nice buildup and chord progression
I'm always trying to create nice, meaningful chords when I try to produce trance. It rarely happens, however.
Are there any tricks that you guys use? Anything worth sharing?
Thanks!
What is the story you want to convey in your song?
Depends. My machine can handle it fine, but if I slap it on a pad or a pluck, and then bounce it to audio, its fine.
Just a warning, though, I woudln't use it for anything else other than ambient places in the mix. Thats just my opinion. Use some of the other Valhalla products if you want that kind of thing.
Why? Can't you adjust the delay, etc if you want a short one?
My God the ambience in that reverb is incredible, but I understand why would only use it for that.
Personally I'm looking for something that would widen up and extend the mix if you understand what I mean.
That reverb is monstrously beautiful though.
Cheers
I think you did well with the sidechain. It sounds very crisp and rhythmic.
What were your settings on the compressor? (threshold, ratio, attack, release)
Overall I enjoyed the sense of space and sound quality.
Thanks! I used Gross Beat for the Sidechaining. Not sure how to attach an image, but it's fairly basic.
Do you think I should continue with it? I can't tell if it sounds good.
Well, my own taste in music requires a lot of flow and dynamics. So for me, this was a little static. But it wasn't bad. As long as you like it, keep going. That's what's important. I'll only comment on style when something sticks out like a sore thumb, but nothing did here.
