Just migrated over to Cubase 7, and just finished my first tune using C7, all I can say is WOW! thank you Steinberg you guys are legends! 
download, listen & enjoy!
For me this track starts at 2.20, prior to that Iām just a bit worried Iām listening to the same old loops Iāve heard on countless other electronic piecesā¦
Butā¦after 2.20 the piece becomes quite excellent and more original sounding and I reckon itās very good from there,
can you please tell me what the pad is that begins at 2.20ā¦
I reckon you should lose the first 2.20 mins because some peeps might get bored before the really good bit startsā¦though I do accept that this is club/dance stuff and would be perfect in such an environmentā¦well done, Kevin
yeah, I do tend to drag out my introās a bit, sorry its an old habbit. Yes I got that pad from Sylenth1, I just tweaked one of the pad presets in there to taste I think its preset āangelic padā something like that from the first library.
thanks for the info mateā¦appreciatedā¦Kevin
Oh wow this is your first song with C7?! Let me first say that Trace is actually my favorite genre - and I have listened to plenty of tracks over the years. This piece is quality work - very close to professional. A few things I did notice though - during the more ādownyā parts of the song there seemed to be a lack of bass - even a very slight low sine might help add some ambiance. Also during the main chorus it seemed the pads could have been brought up in the mix some more - to finish rounding it out. (and this might be a more personal thing but the main synth ātingā sound I guess sounded like it could be ārounded outā a bit more - although I am sure that is something that you canāt do in this particular situation but a tip you could maybe use in the future - like listen to this track for example: SoundCloud - Hear the worldās sounds ) ā also shows what I was talking about with the bass.
I actually donāt think the intro or outro are too long - they are very fitting for Trance and were done well. Overall a very great song - downloaded to listen to some more
I do have a few questionsā¦ like where on earth did you get those great drum samples! I would love to be able to make some more trance but my lack of any fitting samples normally hinders me. Also - I assume those arenāt your Vocals but from a VSTā¦? Any answers would be great 
Hey Ethansight, thanks for the excellent feedback really appreciate it! yes those drum samples I collected from āComputer Music Magazineā DVDās you know the free samples they give you with the disc, I have like 200 x magazines & DVDās from over the years that I have been collecting, I think from memory the folder was promo from Big Fish Audio drum samples, check on their site they have some great packs available. The vocals were not from VST, I used a snippet from an old vocal session and time stretched the crap out of it using C7ās new time stretch feature, that time stretch feature in C7 is extremely powerful! the best I have seen yet anywhere.
Amazing track! Totally loved it!!! Love Trance!
I also like this stuff. It sounds simple, but Iāve never been able to pull it off. Good work 
I also immensely appreciate that this can be downloaded for free. Trust me, this will get airplay on my roadtripsā¦at full volume, too
