I worked quite hard on this song and I hope it shows! I have kinda been taking breaks from music here and there and in my opinion it seems to have paid off! I really think this song is one of my best, though it is more of a "Typical Trance song" I still like it a lot =)

Anyway the songs name "Free" has some meaning to it because the song itself was basically a freestyle thing I was throwing together. I didn't have any particular goals with the song, just kinda did whatever I wanted to and this was the turn out! The song picks up a lot from about the middle to the end, just listen to the whole thing and you will see, you won't regret it ;)

Anyway, enjoy NG!

"Pretty impressive for 'typical trance'"

I can see why you call it Free now. Good job on it. I can definitely tell that this took some time from the evident layering. Heh, infact any idiot could tell that there's atleast some hard effort in this. This is going in my playlist.

"I'm impressed"

Things I liked:
- the detuned synths add some texture
- the kick: just punchy enough to get the job done, and I love the release on it
- the modulation: but please stay in D after one switch back and forth.

Things I didn't like:
- at 1:36, you have a i-i-VII-III progression going, yet your synth lead has me feeling a progression of i-i-VI-III for some reason. Might be just me, but you've got Ab's and Bb's going at the same time and 2nd intervals are generally good to stay away from. It irked me, but going back it doesn't sound BAD, it just bugs me. Don't pay too much worry
- your open hihat sounds like it has a chorus effect on it. Again, probably just me, you might have been going for this effect.
- the end of your song needs to be beatmatchable...
