Wave Transmission - My first own Track (Trance)

[danyo2008]

Hi,

have Just started playing a little bit around producing my own music.

I have produced this with FL Studio and only used the built in plugins and some optional free plugins from the web.

- Sytrus
- Zampler
- Nova for EQ
- Fruity Limiter / Compressor
- and so on


So here ist my first result. Hope, you like it and please do not be too hard to me

The genre is Trance.

Hey, Just upgraded my Track.... Have done a little bit fine tuning.....

I’m no expert when it comes to EDM/Trance, but for a first effort it sounds good. Maybe it could have been a little more unadventurous but it works.

I'd agree with phil; you've played it relatively safe. That's probably a good idea if you're still finding your feet. You've got all the basics down nicely.

The one thing I'd say is that I think your pad has too much reverb/delay on it, and with the arp playing as well, it's a bit messy for my taste. Example is around 2:45. Maybe you can go into the preset and just tone down the FX a bit?

If you still are going to work on this track, you could try adding a couple of "exciters". A few choice sound FX and vocal samples at the right moments could take this track up another level.

At any rate, it's very good for a first song.

For a first track this is not bad at all...better than mine way back in 1978! :0)

It's got some good melodic and rhythmic content, but it lacks a few things at the moment as you would expect:

1) That big killer hook / lead line / lead vocal to seriously grab the listener.
2) Your own unique identity, (which should come as you experiment more); at the moment it is very generic.
3) Attention to detail in the production - again this will develop as you create more and more pieces.

Two old-fart patronizing tips:

1) Analyse in detail the tracks you really like in a genre and try and work out what it is that makes them good.
2) As you become more experienced, try and avoid preset loop libraries as much as possible; create you own riffs and loops from scratch and a unique musical identity will grow very rapidly.
