Its an awesome mix. Cant really hear any improvements, what are you struggling with ?

Musically though, it sounds like its leading up to something with a beat as the next track, with this track merging into it.

Something like Alan Parsons would have done on 'A Valid Path', or BT from 'These Hopefull Machines'

This is really good!

I like the way all sounds seem to be moving, coming in and disappearing. Great sense of motion and space!

Kind of reminds me of the "lifeforms" era of FSOL, which is a great thing

I hear a modest man fishing for compliments on a big catch already....
My Brother brings home 12 6-8lb Blue Catfish which are the perfect size for taste, yet he will sit there and say do you think I should have thrown these back for 3 lb'rs.....??............Please.

Hey, I am getting an Error and I have an DB account...?
Damn-ee

thnks for the feed, struggling most with the dense parts, like the climax to get all sounds clear in the mix, ive heard this thing so many times cant trust my ears nemore but if you guys say its ok then i guess ready for mastering.. good ear dante! this actually started as a intro where transitions into a melodic trance track, gonna take some time to finish that up though so just an ambient for now,
cheers

Yep ready for mastering, I had the same feeling about the dense part at one point only.
Mark 2:00 minutes, when the guitarish sequenced part and choir comes in, it is a bit undefined, just a bit.
I had an idea what I would try.
There is the, let me say bird or eagle like high sound in that part, I would try to boost the highs on the
sequence on a duplicated track and high pass it to the bird sound.
Then let the bird sound introduce the sequence while you turn down the cutoff of the high pass
filter and fade to the original sequence track. So that the eagle and the sequence build a union to the beginning,
Maybe worth a try?

Nice intro track....

Thnks so much for the idea Chris! , think it sounds/flows much better now ,
here it is:

also made few other minor adjustments to the mix..please let me know what u think n if ready,
cheers

Very nice track first of all, really pleasing music , the second with the fixed frequencies is my preferred one. There is one detail I would like to be different, and it is the see itself, at the beginning, I would like for it to sound with a little more body, like in real life, and to my understanding, that would be a perfect track.

it's done.. go ahead for the next track... and please keep us in touch !

The mastering will bring the shimmer and final balance, thats the job of the mastering guy, make sure to have a open speech to him, so that he understands you and what you want with your music and all will be fine...

It's a very detailed work you do in your track, I like it.

thnks for another great fix nestor, added the body and yes now its deff done couldnt b happier with result thnks to ur guys help, just sent her out ill post back with the mastered track as soon as ready
cheers

That should be alwasy the natural way I am looking foward to listen to the final track.

wow, yikes! Great sound! Not sure what else to say.. it just sounds really good!

Really great!
When i heard it I thought I should suggest that you longer the track to 8-9 min and make it a psychedelic trance track, but when i read that it is a intro to a trance track i knew that this one is perfect.

Greetings,
Manuel

same than Dati: great intro track, could extend to some psyche trance with some ease and possibly reappear as parts all along the proposed journey

You promised us the mastered, I like to hear it.

Yep, it went out well, I like the new synth lead addon, this track makes definitely appetite for more.
It's crisp and deep, congratulations
Thank you for listening us to this in that quality.

quality listening and I keep my words.

it could drive u into a planned trip further on... and it could be quite hard to throw after many months of work.

Maybe: if you don't know what to do with it, you could try and get a mix of electronic music (not your own), chaining with it and convince yourself about the way you'd like it to go on
Then, you'd compose the next step with your own sounds.

JV could punch that with huge basses and waved pad synths to help giving you an idea and help the next track to materialize!
It'd surely be worth the trip... At least, I'd buy a ticket for it!

yeh its gonna b hard releasing something like this since its now kinna mix of ambient, euro trance, and psytrance, not something u hear very often but im not trying to imitate like most trance artists do,just took time tried to give it as much time as needed-about 2 years on and off, neways heres where shes at finally got all the composition finished just need to get mix more balanced n clear
enjoy
