[Flowstate] Trance + The 100!
« on: March 27, 2016, 12:48:18 am »
Hi all, a few days ago I found a really sweet vocal snip of the tv show, The 100. Decided to try and create a full remix of the song. Let me know what you think! I want to emit emotion and depth in this song so let me know if I achieve that or not. Thanks!

The beginning falls ever-so-slightly flat, but when it hits about 30 seconds, those emotional
vibes start to come out :) Also the whole field of sound at one minute is phenomenal. Great Work!

Really good work overall! I don't really listen too much of trance, but this track has some unique qualities that keep it interesting for me.

Some comments:
- I dig the rhythm starting from 1:00. Only thing that bothers me is that this still sounds like an intro, you know, it sounds like it builds tension towards a drop that never comes. But then again I guess that's the point of progressive?
- That hit at 1:45 could sound muuuch bigger
- Vocal sample is great!
- at 2:52 the supersaws could sound bigger also, maybe just increase volume or add white noise stuff.

Yea, when those saws come in at 2:52 I was expecting more of a wall of sound, similar to the saws in Walter White (your saws need more noise I think). The vocals are amazing, gave me chills and the melody is the break is great, really well written track! ALSO, that 4 bar pause seems a touch too long, I'd shorten it down to 2 bars but that's just me.

Thanks for the feedback guys! Now that you mention it, 2:52 is really lacking that punch. I didn't even realize it before (the power of feedback!) I'll add more noise to the super saw also. @sforys, I tried the 2 bars but that also felt a bit weird. I still don't really know what I can do to make that ride out a little smoother but I'm very open to suggestions. I've tried putting a reverse reverb kick that leads up to it, spreading the stereo depth and also minimizing the depth (tried both ways) but nothing seemed to help the problem. Let me know if you can think of something!

Any other feedback on the vocals? I'm worried it's a bit too much on the high end but maybe that's just me?

Maybe for that 4 bar pause, take the first chord of your climax, and do a reverse reverb riser leading into that chord (cut it one beat before the chords come in). But honestly, this track is gold, the idea is fantastic and the track just needs polishing now.

I've listened to this track a few times, and although the BPMs vary between tracks this really reminds me of mesmerise by Will Atkinson, maybe it's cus of the progression and vocals, but I think you've managed to capture the same emotion in this track, it gives me chills.

Hey cool song. I don't listen to much of this kind of music but I think you should tune all your instruments to the frequency of the universe. It might seem weird but the music will resonate with you and others at a whole other level. It can almost completely change the mood of a song( this one of yours seemed somewhat dark to me)

What are you smoking m808, and where can I get some of it?
