<Pony><Original> "Welcome To The Night" [PSYCHEDELIC TRANCE]

[BassRabbit]

Nightmare Moon. Aw yea.

[Lethaargic]

This is one of my favorite tracks I've seen posted here. nice powerful builds. most of the sounds are reminiscent of standard/uplifting trance, not psychedelic trance, especially the distorted kick. Some of those delayed hits are trippy though.

I'm definitely getting more of a gabber/hardcore feel than psy from the kick, and the sudden transitions. More semantic than anything.

More than anything, what I would say is go back to the mixer, and turn all of your tracks down a couple notches. Even at my lowest volume setting everything is clipping. You want to start out with a mix-down that doesn't really exceed -3 dB on your output meter. From there, you can EQ, compress, limit and normalize your way back to a more reasonably mixed track that sounds loud without losing a great deal of data.

Your kick is also too quiet with regards to the rest of the mix. In dance music, you always want the kick to be the absolute loudest sound in the track. The track is going to be played on a dance floor, so you want the entire floor's heartbeat in lockstep with your beat. It'll help to chop off everything below around 80 Hz on every track except the kick and bass. That will give you a lot of space to work with.

I like where you're going with this. Musically, the track is interesting. Like I said, it reminds me of the mid-90's heyday of gabber and hard trance.
