Mixture of oldschool and Japanese styles. I wanted to make sth similar to Hiroyuki Oda of 2006 and earlier, more uplifting, but... well, you see

hey, hats come in fun, they are not easy, you can see that you care about more than just a staple. I like this clap repeated in the last quarter of x2, I have been using similar patents for some time, gives a nice groove! melody?? I like these intertwining 2 melodies in the construction, they fit together and build peace. at the same time, the bass is great for charging energy. break is great, it builds the entire narrative calmly, a pad taken from Tiesto, but from whom to learn if not from the best. The most important thing, however, is the number of elements in this piece, there are not many of them, they all play well together, I would not add anything to it, it is balanced. nice not to listen to many fx from sample packs. generally pure essence of trance. I think I've said it before, but talent without a doubt. emotionally is great. at the beginning I feel like listening to it to the end, then everything is more encouraging with the melody line, calm comes with the breakdown. Then it's only better to build up a lot of energy that I love in this music. drop hard, the second drop phrase is additionally fueled by power! thanks for the song, I keep my fingers crossed for you!
I hope I helped

That was very offensive! There are NO samples at all!!!
That was not intentional) In fact, I tried to make that feeling of loneliness and melancholy of japanese trance (and not only) tracks by chord leads, and from them I made the pads. You have heard the result by yourself
Yeah, thanks for japanese school. I was inspired by those sad japanese tunes. I have listened to lots of them, including anime songs
(but anime itself is rubbish). I could talk about how I like japanese songs, but that'd be a long story.Anyway, I'm proud of myself, I'm pretty much happy with the result. At the same time it has an iconic oldschool sound, and gives that melancholic vibe from emotional Japanese songs. But I might work on that more to make it sound more professional, as I want to release that on vinyl through crowdfunding (maybe, 200 copies for $20 with another track of mine).

I used to play a lot of jRPG, mainly final fantasy. I know music only from that when it comes to Japanese atmosphere, but it has always caught my heart. I wasn't sure if you had used any samples, I assumed everyone was using them. I listened several times and I can't hear everything, even if I do something myself
Man, you should listen to other japanese melodies, as most of them could perfectly sound in trance, and some already utilised such opportunity.
Just take the tracks like Unfading Thoughts and remix from ZTS, Sanaas remix of Tori No Uta and many others (I cannot remember all of the names), but try to find some)

Love this.
Has that 90's energy trance feel to it with some modern flourishes. Love the melody and that mid bass is nasty (in a good way)
Lovely breakdown and the build up and drop is balanced perfectly. SO energetic when it drops!
Great work.

What the? That's a clear 2001-2005 track!!!
Yeah, I worked on this track with my soul. Thanks for feedback!
By the way, I need someone who is really good with finishing the tracks (sound clearing, final mixing). Although this track is very good, it still needs to make it sound professional, so it could be potentially released in a good label or even on vinyl. I think you might help me to finish my tracks. We can discuss details later

If you need help I am also willing to help since this is a great production. If you need a very good lacquer cut for the vinyl, I can recommend you a mastering engineer but please for gods sake dont master this on your own! Vinyl mastering should be done from someone with experience, just as a reminder.What the? That's a clear 2001-2005 track!!!

He's right here.
I have no problem giving people pointers on mixing and whatnot, but while I am at least competent, I'm far from being a professional in that area.
Especially if you are looking to cut a vinyl yourself, it would definitely be worth hiring a mastering engineer.
That said, most labels will have a mastering engineer they use for their releases in my experience, so I would concentrate on getting your mixdown right.

The big problem is finding a label which will release on vinyl, especially if its the first track he is providing. Even on Hyper Reality Records (bigger Hard Trance label) Vinyl releases are very rare and mostly compilations because of the huge amount that needs to be invested ...

This new version is def an improvement and you have captured a nice Trance spirit. I like the piano melody at the breakdown that fits the japenese feel, and its pretty nice when the strings come in. Sounds like a 2008 track to me, although can hear some older influences.
Agree with you that the mixdown and soundesign that needs most work, its pretty far off in that regards.
Keep posting in here because I have a feeling that as you improve there will be tracks I would wanna sign for TF.
