Hey bro, I got stars available this time :)

I like your music bro, and for your second track posted, you are starting to work all the synths out now!

One thing I like is your loooow bass lines. Have you experimented with the stereo FX rack to float things from earpiece to earpiec yet?

smartsmurf (pointed you out to me) is good for that kinda music. Check out some of NorbertSN, glenlythgow and HR (hellraiser) hip hop tracks too. There stuff is a trance session in itself (you will definitely get fully faded listening to some of there tracks bro) and motivates me. Did I mention Nickillus (He is dope for a phat beat bro and uses the upright bass midi like its an instrument in front of him that he is an ace with)

There are tonnes of really cool little ways to move this beat around the speakers bro, you can do that with vocals too, if the track requires it tho.

There's an old school hip hop track I crank up high whenever I hear it, Warren G regulate.

I only mention the beat as I am curious if you could do an instrumental, similar to that - If you do bro, you may have a couple emails from me bothering you a little bit...

Also, It just clicked to me. I call you bro, and that may be wrong.

If so, punch me and correct me ASAP.

About your track...

I liked the ringing bell synth and matching it with the other (changing) background sounds was good. It felt like they hung around the right side a bit too much though.

Every midi came through clearly that wasn't my intended point, I meant to space them around the stereo field  - Try copying that synth, put it on a track underneath that one in time with the synth above, and making it fade from the left predominantly, then back to right with the move centered sounds left but panning the stereo pan direction right a little bit to keep the left earpiece for that synth but popping its field to the right to break it up a bit.

Then the other backing synths could have followed the standard, wider, narrow etc... settings and predominantly sat in the right.

The bass and harder instruments (for me) I have mostly sitting through the left stereo field, in different pan sections. Then I do the the same on the right for the higher and softer melodic sounds.

I am not degrading your work, you have done a great job (thats the reason for my stars). Just getting you to experiment a bit with other parts of the software will make you do things you thought you couldn't do and give you a style that is not only in the instrumental, but in its sound space.

You have a sound that I want to see keep growing bro!
