Mate, the beginning is fantastic, really gets you in a calm state of mind, but the thin little sine you bring in ruins the amazing sfx in my opinion. You should get rid of it, and use a scary piano instead, and when the beat comes in keep the fx going with the two, because when the beat comes in and the SFX fade, your track loses its fullness. You can let it fade at the break, but not this early! As the bass comes in, my point is strengthened, imagine what that bass would sound like with that SFX? It's a very nice bass, and I like the directness of the percs. The little pad in the background is very good also, keeps it driving.
Heres what you should do :
- Keep the SFX throughout with the bass, and then break with a pad and piano which is haunting.
- Maybe add one more loop to give the track a little more drive.
- Maybe you could bring the bass in after 17 bars (Yes that quick)
- GET RID of that sine at the start, it's really annoying and very unprofessional.
Otherwise, this is downloaded and well enjoyed.

Ok, I will take your advice. See, I was using timestretching pads here, so I didn't know what I would get. I'll be sure to take it out!
I'm see what I can do about bringing the bass in the intro. Thanks for the review! :D

Now i'm not sure, but i listened to this in a pair of the finest headphones available, which i use to produce, and it sounded very well. It brought me back, as i think it has the 1999 / 2003 sound mixed into it, which is driving and intense.
You are getting very good mate, and i might take this to my next Gig/Radioshow because it's probably my favourite submission on NG i've heard.
Thanks for this mate.

Track is good, only complaint is the repetition, we are trying to save trance from it's criticism of being called Repetitive junk, and are constantly trying to find ways to make it less repetitive! Other than that, it's great. =)

Thanks for the review of, ' Airborn. '
Here's my review of your track : The melody of this is lovely, and the pattern it plays it quiet unique, which is rare for this type of trance. The major complaint i have is that the whole track needs compression, and i realise that is the case because my volume is halfway and it's stinging my ears! Otherwise, no complaints with anything, good overall track that's got a buzz to it.
=)

Relaxed and chilled out mate, like that deep bass, i think you need to add a rolling bass onto it and it will sound wonderful!

There's nothing wrong with the production, try to put the volume down and it will sound alot better!

Author's Response:
k, man... i guess it must be the high-pass filter on the drums in the beginning,.. cuz it seems to trick people into turning up their volume, only to be blown away... but thanks for the positive review....

This review will be written as i listen, have listened 3 times now. I like the bass you start with, it's actually really nice! The kick is punchy and satisfactory, no complaints here. The loop is good but a bit too, been there done that, maybe make it more interesting with little FX's happening here and there and little hats changing their patterns, but the loop you used it fine. The break was too fast, maybe you should let the bass FILTER out then crash, it would work better. I like the melody, although the synth you use is too dry. Add some reverb, and EQ it higher then it'll sound good mate. =)
The only 2 things this is missing are :
- A better breakdown.
- More atmosphere, more things need to be happening here and there that keep the listener interested.
Good track mate! =)
