[Straylight]

1:09 <3 Great song but it sounds like you left fruity limiter on the master and its limiting the track vol hard

kylermannn responds:

Thanks brah!

Yeah I think I might know what you mean about the volume thing, although I am so inexperienced with filters and limiters and all that stuff. I'm almost 100% self taught in literally everything, so I only know things that I've messed around with (havent really messed with the mixer a whole lot except for delays and filters on maximus). I really need to look up a guide on all that stuff to improve my sound quality.

[DJ Niamek -Divine Intervention]

The melody and feeling is really nice but alot of the synths have WAY TOO MANY high freqs and it starts to hurt your ears it takes away from the song. if you just toned down the highs on most of the freqs then this would be a 4.5/5

[Shes Mine]

Great feeling great melody the mixing could use some work but other than that the song has a really nice upbeat feel to it

[Show Me The Way]

Man it is so hard to find proper uplifting trance on here. Its like everything everyone makes is some crappy shit in fruity loops but this is actually really nice. the break is so nice the synths are good but the arp could be better but the mixing is really nice. Sounds like the stuff I would make :P

Melody is 4/5
mixing is 3.5/5
synths are 4/5
Great work

[3rd Moon - Monsun (RMX)]

Nice track good mixing good synths but I dont get why you made the reverb on that pluck mono? it sounds really weird doing that same with what ever you did with the pad. Sounds like you panned it some how and it sounds really weird. But the piano melody is really nice but again it sounds like its made mono or something? Whats up with the weird panning on all these sounds?

D-Chain responds:

actually there is no panning on the actual synth-sounds... i might have done some panning on the percs/claps/hats and what not, so im not sure what you are talking about..
on my system it sounds totally fine and im using a KRK setup(studio monitors/speakers)
and as far as i am concerned no one else talks about weird panning or mono reverb.

[Coldwater]

Great melody but the synths are mixing are a bit meh. But the melody is really nice though. Its just all those really basic synths/kick/hats getting really annoying after a bit but thats just me i guess

Keegs responds:

Thanks man, you're totally right. I made this back when Sytrus was the only plugin I knew how to use! xD Check out some of my newer stuff for some slightly more mature textures!

Thanks for the review!

[ID ( Tn Remix )]

About time. A good trance song with decent mixing. Like the shuffle effect and the mixing is pretty good and those vocals are really nice and chilling but the hats have a bit too much high freqs and it hurts my ears a bit but the piano and pads are really nice and that melody at the drop is really nice and upbeat I like it alot but the bassline could be mixed slightly better by adding some more high freqs. Also the build up to the drop is a bit sudden since it has a build up and then suddenly transitions to the drop without really a warning or a break sort of thing

3.5/5 good work.
Check out my new stuff

[Questions (Original Mix)]

The dubstep sounds ruin it. its that wobble kind of sound at the melody part that happens every 2 bars thats really annoying and ruins it since the pad/melody was amazing on its on also had nice chord progression but dem dubstep sounds ruin it :(

[Decibels Till Dawn (Demo)]

I like the chord progression alot but at the build up use turn the resonance down in fruity filter because it makes a high pitch ear rape sound if you dont

[Journey To The Promised Land]

Love the chord progression at the break its really nice! I always try to make stuff like that but it never turns as good as that.
