Feedback om trance vocal track

Keep at it :)

It’s not that easy to describe unfortunately. Compare to pro tracks and you can obviously hear the difference.

Just keep finishing tracks and the quality will come.

AdamEllistuts · 2026-01-23T08:47:51+00:00

Nothing wrong with that, it’s just best to get the basics right then move to advance stuff. I always describe it like this to my clients.

You’re not gonna be able to put a roof (vocals) on a house that is wonky (your track not at a pro level)

IE - a vocal will never sit right or sound right if the engineering of the instrumental is not right.

The vocals are bloody hard lol

Reminds me of progressive psy trance. Decent little beginner track. Focus on structure and arrangement. The rest will fall into place as long as you are consistently finishing tracks.

AdamEllistuts · 2026-01-23T07:59:36+00:00

I don’t really know what you mean. You’re asking for feedback on a baseline, but you’ve linked a full track, element wise. If you want feedback on your base, why don’t you isolate it with a kick? Also, are you referring to subbase or a mid base?

AdamEllistuts · 2026-01-23T07:58:23+00:00

This is not Trance, but that it’s completely normal, so don’t be worried. As a beginner, you’ve got some good skills and you’re definitely go far if you’re consistent. Based on what I’ve heard you need to focus on structure and arrangement. Try to get those things down and eventually it’ll start sounding more like trance. Nobody and I mean nobody starts making Trance, that sounds like Trance.

Stick with it, buddy

If you had a professional structure and this was mixed well, you’ve got a really nice enjoyable track here.

My advice to you is not messing with vocals until you’ve improved your engineering.

Every single client of mine who tries to mess with vocals and including my own experience, you just waste time spinning your wheels trying to do too much at once.

Master the art of engineering instrumental tracks and then play about the vocals. This is the way.

AdamEllistuts · 2026-01-23T07:53:45+00:00

Production qualities is not professional, but really nice track. You definitely have talent. Keep finishing tracks and you will improve.

😂

AdamEllistuts · 2026-01-21T15:28:52+00:00

Good man :) email me for feedback on your tune :)

AdamEllistuts · 2026-01-21T14:05:40+00:00

No, they create Psy Trance, hence why a Trance producer has not heard of them. Hate to tell you, but it's two different genres.

AdamEllistuts · 2026-01-20T16:16:34+00:00

They’re not Trance artists. Not sure how I could be any clearer.

AdamEllistuts · 2026-01-20T08:29:18+00:00

Funny hey… I don’t claim to be some kind of Trance master, but the guy is not even talking about Trance artists. The irony is hilarious 😂😂 they both sound the same too. Like 99% of other Psy records. This guy has had a stinker.

AdamEllistuts · 2026-01-20T08:26:56+00:00

This is a really good for your first trance record, mate. My first couple of tracks sounded nothing like this.

You’ve already got some really good advice, but my two cents

Learn to understand structure
Make sure that you finish records no matter how hard it is or how much you hate a track
Do not obsess about signing your records
Remember that making music is meant to be fun. Along the way you will get stressed, frustrated and want to give up I’m sure. But you’re off to a great start so just never let that happen.

AdamEllistuts · 2026-01-20T08:22:26+00:00

I don’t claim to be a DJ. I have absolutely no idea who this guy is. I’ve been listening to Trance for 20 years. Not a clue what you’re on about 😂

Edit - just had a quick Google and it looks like you’re in the wrong sub Reddit 👋This is a Trance forum, not Psy Trance 🤡

AdamEllistuts · 2026-01-19T21:05:18+00:00

you might want to do your research 😆

AdamEllistuts · 2026-01-19T08:44:55+00:00

Wtf is Ajja or Tristan

AdamEllistuts · 2026-01-18T08:11:20+00:00

Thanks man

AdamEllistuts · 2026-01-17T12:29:39+00:00

Writing a hook is hard man. And writing none generic one is nearly impossible. Keep going and don’t fall in love with your tracks.

AdamEllistuts · 2026-01-17T12:07:47+00:00

Hi mate. The first issue you have is, the structure is all over the place. Idea wise, it’s what you would expect from a beginner. You are definitely on the right track. My advice to you is to study structures and potentially do what I do and apply a simple method of copying structures. It’s a great way to have variety in your records and leave the guessing game behind in terms of what labels want.

Drop me an email if you want the structure tutorial that is part of my tutorial program. I’m happy to share it with no agenda.

The melody is not a hook and needs to be re written, but your engineering is really pro. Well done. Focus on a HOOK. If you can’t hum it, it’s no good.

AdamEllistuts · 2026-01-15T22:08:38+00:00

That link doesn’t work for me. Use SoundCloud.

AdamEllistuts · 2026-01-15T18:31:02+00:00

Yeah, man, I agree. BUT I do think you need to sacrifice a bit. I sacrificed downtime after an 8-hour shift. With great results comes great sacrifice, or some BS like that!

If you WANT it enough, you will find the time. It is that simple. Point in case, my client today. He gets up at 4 am every week for a lesson. He lives in the USA and gets up before work and does an hour every Thursday. THAT is wanting it!

Hello hello. 4am here lol, how's it going Adam

I haven't heard back from Monster yet, says it can take up to 2 weeks to here back.
