    It sounds good. I think it might benefit a lot from some De-Essing. The hi-hat fill is pretty nice.

    A lot of techno, trance, EDM and other dance music like this can have a whole lot of top end stuff going on. Arpeggiations, or parts like your hats, top percs, etc. While you start piling them all up, you start getting things which start sounding abrasive for the listener. Sometimes people will use the adjectives bright, or harsh even. A de-esser is usually used for Sibilance, but can tame offensive high frequency parts really well.

    Thanks for letting me know. Do you have a plugin in mind or would you just say I should not boost the top frequencies as much?

    Most DAW's have a decent stock one. but fabfilter pro-DS in allaround mode if you have it. it's a minor detail suggestion. not something you eq differently for. anyway, cool track.

    I don't know anything like that about trance. like how if you put an instance of OTT for some upward compression on the kick, this will be the style that was popular in Tunisia in 2004. :dunno:

    Are you producing these by listening on laptop speakers?

    Your tracks generally have too much mid-range and sibilance

    No Im using the new KRKs that came out haha to me it doesnt seem to have to much mid range I eqd it like consistently. the only mid ranges I have here are just in the pluck leads for the drop. What are you listening to it on?

    The sibilance could just be the noise generator I used for the uplifter then the down swells as well.

    OR actually It could be the pads your hearing that are in the mid range section as well.

    De-essing is the process of reducing sibilance, or harsh high-frequency sounds

    Imo the overall work sounds pretty good but I was expecting something more in the melodic part.

    sounds very good, although the rhythm of the cymbal seems to me to be very hidden.

    Remember that we see it with the eyes of musicians. The general public will not care if it is brighter, less bright, if the saucer is closer or further away. The general public is interested in the song being interesting. And your song is.:like:
