Ok...could really use some of your guys advice on this track, I am feeling a little insecure about it and could really use some ears.
A few things first..

Yes, I know..this is a trance board. I do make trance but for some reason I couldnt resist the 115 bpm.
Yes, I also know what it read's..Linkin Park ::hear's shouts from the crowd "are you fucking kidding me?")
Again..for some reason I couldn't resist.
However..this has challenged me. Production of a song challenges me.
So, this is the area I could really use help in.
1: Sonically and dynamically I feel that I may have just pushed the stereo spectrum a bit to much. I dont know. Maybe a phasing issue? Is it me? How does it sound on your monitors?
2: Arrangement. I just cant help that my "anti" drop at the minute mark wont win any awards. I also feel that I am lacking to much in the form of additional vocal even though I have a vocoder going over as backing vocals. I feel this is most prominent after 1:43 leading to the next break. I am stumped at how to fill this out without sounding repetitious,which in some ways I already am I feel and dont want to extend.

In essence...I feel good about the track, just feel that it can be tightened better ...but where is what I having a tough time with.
Thanks ahead of time!

Your'e getting that festival sound, the only things I'd think about is some sort of vocal bit here n there - just nick a vocal from somewhere and completely mangle / alter it if you don't want to sing / cant get a singer, and the piano parts do nothing for me - I cant follow them easily.

Me neither Derek, sorry Man, this one is just a bit of a background track, sure it's well mixed though.

Originally posted by Seandroid Here's what I've got going, I posted an earlier version a while ago but this is approaching full length now.

Sean not as good as others of your IMO, it's ok though. I think the kick is not loud enough compared to some of the stabs and shrills.

Others will like it though so in a way my feedback is useless.

Interesting that you guys don't seem very fond of this. I think it's one of the more interesting and unique things I've done. It's a lot more experimental, I guess.

It sounds good, but I don't know whats yours and whats the original so I cannot comment too much.

The shuffle hats / snares I hear now and then do not work, the timing is a bit off and they are to much filling the soundscape, keep it a bit cleaner.

Sorts of track I hear playing on FIFA games.

The piano part is supposed to essential take the place of vocals in the breakdown. I have a simple philosophy about vocals; let me make a few singable releases first, then tackle vocals (even sing myself).

I would be okay using a lower quality recording of vocals on a more underground track - sometimes that makes for a cool vibe. But for this type of track, I don't think low quality vocals recordings work as well.

The other thing is that I really like the end when the piano line comes in. I think it fits really well, and it wouldn't really have a context without having already played during the breakdown.

so in potential it's a nice track, mix stil a bit dull, but what realy bothers me is the ear candy loop, it's to Obvious and too static and cliché ommhhhhh stststststsstst... ALL THE F#CKING Time

come on man, keep the synths, bassline but work on impressive percussion, taking the track to the next level.

I thin kit's a good track within it's genre, sound is a bit too harsh/clippered and stereo widerer is too wide/phasey

but when you put a bit less "dubstep" and a bit more "daft punk" in there, you would have the right balance for Mou5etrap, if that's what you're aiming for.
overall, beyond above, impressive
