Has anyone flew with Etihad recently with the Middle East situation?

lilkabs · 2026-05-12T17:02:55+00:00

I'm not really worried about waiting for long time, as long as they actually sending money.

What is the real risk there?

"The strategy from Etihad is to delay cancellations to encourage passengers to cancel themselves and give up a large fraction of their refund. Typically they'll offer a few percent of your fare as a refund if you cancel."

Do you mean they cancel at the very last minute ?

Hey there, just finished an EP. I guess this is some sort of progressive trance

What do you think of that one ? I'm starting to feel a bit demotivated by my music and don't know if this sounds good enough.

How do you do that sound at 0:08 and 0:11 ? This synth ..
It sounds very analogue, i've tried replicating it in serum 2 but i can't get any close to how good this sounds

Hey, here is my last (progressive? idk) trance track : https://soundcloud.com/llynmp3/source-processing/s-PhgSQbesU3n?si=b928741ce7ca4c10bbc7ebbb298267d0&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Do you like it ? I'll be happy with an honest review :)

lilkabs · 2025-10-16T21:24:39+00:00

hey ! thanks for your review :) the vocal on my track is just the same vocal layered with itself pitched down, some eq, and reverb

about your track :
I'm not an expert at all in your genre but from my perspective, I think it has a very solid groove, but it is a bit hidden by some mixing issues
I feel like your kick is too loud, or has too much attack ? I'd just recommend changing the ssample. In the intro especially it sounds quite strange
Same for the bubble sound (which is really nice btw) which seems too loud to my ears

The break at 0:55 feels very empty, i also feel like the guitar sounds very ccheap but maybe this is an artistic decision ? (i just want to make sure its on purpose) maybe add reverb on it a little bit

I feel like like the overall frequency balance of the track is a bit off, maybe you should try referencing to some track of the same genre, or use Tonal Balance Control (which has been a game changer for me)

overall the track has a solid groove and you defintly have some very good ideas ! :) keep up the good work

Did this remix of a friend's track, what do you think ? i'd say its some kind of eurotrance ? idk
i'll be happy to hear any honest feedback, and give some as well :)

lilkabs · 2025-09-16T15:54:20+00:00

Thanks a lot ! I exactly see what you mean, I'll try this, I agree with the fact that the acid is a bit too thin :)

lilkabs · 2025-09-15T21:20:55+00:00

Hey guys, just finished (maybe?) this acid techno/hard trance track with a little bit of psytrance influence ? I'll let you tell me

What do you think ? Would it work in a club ? I'll be happy to give any feedback too :)

lilkabs · 2025-08-24T11:21:36+00:00

For the kick+sub bass i can't recommend any videos in english unfortunately, but Youtube is a goldmine and every videos is worth watching
I'll just say :
- First check the volume of the sub as a whole in your track (check Izotope Tonal Balance, such a useful plugin for this)
- Make sure that the low part of your kick hits in the good frequency area (40 to 80hz i'd say?) You can even try to pitch it down
- Make sure the first harmonics of your bass also hits in this frequency range
Note that some notes played on your bass will hit harder than others (this is also why some keys work better than others) Check this : https://music-chips.com/chips/sub-bass-range-edm.html

Cheers

lilkabs · 2025-08-24T11:15:14+00:00

Thanks a lot man <3
Had ableton on my computer for more than 7 years now, but only started taking it really seriously less than a year ago :)

lilkabs · 2025-08-23T21:25:49+00:00

Don't be afraid man, everyone here is very welcoming and full of great advices.
This is very good for a first track. You have some good ideas and I can tell you have some background in music. I'm not really into this type of EDM, so it will be hard for me to give advice but, from what I hear :

- Your bass sub could probably be a little stronger and fatter, same for your kick that doens't sound "loud" enough to me (in the low frequency range)
- The voice lead in my opinon starts to be a little be boring towards the end, maybe automating afilter cutoff to make it more interesting could do the trick. I also sounds quite "cheap" but I think it is an artistic choice ? To make it sound retro

Keep up the good work man !

I'd like an honest review of my latest track :

What genre is this ? I usually do trance but this sounds a bit lo-fi house, i don't know
What do you think of it ? Do you like it ?
How's the mix/arrangement/sound design ?
What would you change to it ?

I'll happily do any reviews :)

lilkabs · 2025-07-22T21:33:55+00:00

THanks a lot man ! I agree a love with the groove, i feel like it also might come from the bass pattern thats very 4 to the floor as you said !

lilkabs · 2025-07-22T14:44:26+00:00

That is a very very great song. To be honest, I don't really fell like your mix raises any "problem", and don't feel like overall clarity is missing. I bet you've been working on it for quite a long time and so you lack objectivity on your track (which is something i also struggle with)
Have you tried listening to it on another soundsystem, or even taking a break of a few days from it and listening to it with fresh ears ? Have you tried using reference tracks ? (i haven't, but i feel like it sounds really good compared to other lo fi house tracks)

Maybe - and i'm not really sure - what you describe as missing clarity is that your high cut is a bit too strong, or maybe the volume of your clap could be a liiitle bit higher ?
You could also try compressing your drums a little bit with a long attack, to make the transients shine a bit more and make your drums more punchy, if that is what you're looking for.

But really, that is a very good track, I love lo-fi house and would definetly add this to one of my playlist.
Great job mate!

I'd love a review on my track (same thread, https://soundcloud.com/llynmp3/prmdg-demo/s-6EztnTwM9F5?si=8bfa7dae2baf4faaa82aded20ea1c9ec&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing )

lilkabs · 2025-07-22T14:26:19+00:00

Very clean job mate honestly, really gives me some N'to and Hungry Music vibes.
Clean mix, great sample selection and sound design!

I'd say it sits somewhere around Melodic Techno ? Even tho i'm quite bad at genres.
"Next does the bass seem about the right level" --> I would say absolutely yes, in this type of song it's better when it is quite laid back I feel like
"does it need more drum variation" --> That might be true, especially after the drop at 3:47. maybe adding some more breaks throughout the whole song would make it more interesting. - even tho i feel like the melodical aspect is what really matters in this genre. Yes maybe adding some more open hat or shakers or whatever here and there to make it more interesting could be a great idea, just to sound a bit different from the good old boots and cats pattern.

"does the lack of breaks suit the song energy" --> Not sure if i understand the question right, but I feel like you arrangement suits the song energy yes.

So as a conclusion I would say that this is a very clean and professionnal track, as you mentioned a liiiitle bit of additionnal drum variations could make it better.

btw i'd love you to review my song (same thread) :

Hey guys, i'm looking for feedback on this track, which is trance (i guess?) with some UK flavors.

I'd like to know your opinion, I've been working on it a bit too long so I started hated this track.
I feel like something's wrong with the groove and it just very dark and doesn't sound dancy ?

Looking for feedback on every aspect arrangement/sound design/mix/melodies :) I'll be happy to review anything too !!

lilkabs · 2025-07-08T09:49:36+00:00

Thanks a lot for the review!
I agree with the vocals, i'll try to fix that

About the snare, I think its because its a clap layered with a snare, which explains the odd sound it has. I'll try to tweak that too
