New TRANCE (ish) song I made, feedback?

Hey!

Here is a new song I was working on. Not quite perfect but I kinda like it and it is done for now, just looking for advice as I start to make my next song.

Thanks Friends

Its a little basic, you need to get the structure of song a bit more in line with how electronic music normally sounds. The drums also need work, the kick is basically non-existent and you need a pad or something filling out the sound. Right now it just sounds like a bunch of individual synths not as a coherent song. To me its still the start of a song, the idea is there but it needs a lot more work before I’d consider it a finished track. Keep at it dude :slight_smile:

Thanks man I appreciate it. The kick is something I noticed right away, And i know what you mean with a pad, I will do that in my next track. Im pushing it to the side though, as I got new VSTs and what not so I will just start from the scratch. Thanks for the advice.

Sound Quality is definitely there. What synths do you use? Just curious
Beginning arpeggios were really tension building, but i was expecting more of a drop rather than a verse afterwards. If you went back into that arpeggio later in the song and THEN dropped into something more “heavy” that would be a really cool affect.
Like an ABAC sort of song structure. Just my 2 cents cause you asked.

Keep up the good work man!

In this track, almost everything was es2 in Logic. I finally just purchased a new VST though :slight_smile:. And yeah i understand the song structure thing, this track was made in a really odd way lol.

That ES2! always underestimated.

Someone said something about structure, so, check this out, helped me A LOT.

thanks! and yes, i had to learn how to use the es2 because i couldn’t afford sylenth or another ones. Now (as of a week ago) I started using synth master a lot and LOVE IT
