(Trance) Gonna Get Ya

[WolfZeit]

I've remixed Don Grant's 1996 trance classic 'Gonna Get Ya'. Any feedback/advice welcome.

Don't know the original but this track has potential. I have a lot of ideas for more,, dramatically musical improvements " but I think you will hear that too when you listen to that song in a few weeks again.

Nice solid track, congratz!
Brings me back to the early d-trance compilation days from Gary D,:)
The break could use some pads to extend the emotion of the melody.

A couple usefull techniques to let the drop hit harder:
-Filtersweep out the low end just before the drop hits.
-Narrowing down the stereo image the last bar of the break and bring it back at the drop
-A trick to let the drop kick a bit harder is to use a bit of level automation. bring it back just 1 - 2 db in the break and bring in back to 0 at the drop.
-You could also to this with level input before your mastering compressor.

On the drop is seems there's some distortion, maybe low cut / or sidechain the lows of the melody and bass a bit more on the drop, look for overlapping frequencies which create the distortion.

Hi Splitpen.

Thanks very much for having a listen and for the feedback and advice. I'm going to try out those drop tips you've given.

I followed your link and had a listen to the music on your Youtube page. That's a great collection of tracks there. Beautifully produced. I like your Rank 1 Awakening remix, its respectful to the original but brings a cheeky energy to it.

Thanks again.

Hi mate,

Thanks for your kind words
Always try to find to learn and improve yourself and music is key.
Listening to other tracks of legends and try to build them from scratch you will learn a lot from it.
Making bootlegs is a very good way to learn.

It's good you ask for feedback on the forum
Got myself a honest wife at home which is always the first to judge my music before releasing and she has no mercy haha.
Don't be afraid to ask a true opinion from your friends etc. it will get you moving forward in the end.

Have a wonderful newyear and 2024!

Cheers
