Progressive trance, if you don't like the genre then don't listen to the song. Constructive criticism is much appreciated.

Enjoy :)

Hmm...

well i dont really have anything to say that you should add or anything to it so im just going to tell you what i like lol... i really like the bass it sounds really cool i also like the synths you used and i like it around 1:30 where you build up then crescendo and then it calms down and then the beat picks up with the drums good job man i really like it a lot. :)

cheers dude :) still got a long way to go before this track is anywhere near the standard i can make it at

More stuff

I feel that the hihat could have brought a lot of improvement to this song if you messed around with it more, espiecally if you took the reverse hihat you used to introduce it and worked part of it into the beat.

The song has the feel of progressive trance, but it either does not build up fast enough or there isn't enough substance to keep the listener particularly interested. The effects are good, but the main synth sounds completely ridiculous. I would recommend either making a better one or layering some effects on it so it doesn't sound so cheesy.

I would also suggest introducing a melody somewhere inside this 2 minute preview, otherwise no one's going to listen far enough in to find it. This song just needs more stuff in general. A synth bassline, for example, would have brought a lot of life to the drumline, which right now sounds like a bunch of FL presets and isn't altogether that good. Once you get into the second half of the song, you introduce a couple of more layers that make it sound halfway decent and i think you might want to consider skipping the intro entirely and just building the drumline off that instead.

Either way, good effort, but probably not going to make it to the top 5.

6/10
4/5
