you got a nice track over their. really nice arp and synth and i didn't saw it repetitive. but i think the the piano in the begin need a little more work. more reverb is good. however, the atmosphere is really good and in 1:50 the intro was very good , respect.
keep that up. i enjoyed this one. i hope listen to your next track soon :)

Yeah I somehow didn't think about putting reverb on the piano either... Probably would have been much better. Ah well. Thanks for the comment!
This is something i'd listen to all week! The overall sound was rich in emotions and energy. Gotta love the change at 2:27. Beautiful stuff right there. I didn't like how the beepy-chiptune-ish sound just disappeared though like throwing away something precious. Keep going!
Awesome. You are very talented.
A few things because there is always something more to add no matter how good you are..
3:00 to 3:19 feels like a nice build up : After that whole thingy, right there, you can afford a nice drop . I feel like It's going to make my head bounce. I try and predict the kind of nice drop you will serve me, but unfortunately, it doesn't quite get there.
The overall feel is very nice. I like the complexity and the small details. The only thing is I feel like I'm left on my appetite.
...
Does it really deliver what it promises?
Very cool overall! I have a few suggestions...
-I'd try adding some reverb or some compression to the string/pad that comes in at around 0:27. It sounds a little off because it's a little quiet but also because the piano has a great stereo effect going on making the pad feel small.
- The claps that start around 1:14 are fine at their volume. I don't think percussion needs to be at the forefront of every song personally. That said, I think some reverb would sound great with these claps.
- Finally, I'd really like to hear the Arp at around 2:53 be much more prominent. I think it sounds great and it's sad to hear it get washed out by all the other synths. I actually think it could be the main hook towards the end of the song if you get rid of some of the high end on the other instruments.
Just some personal suggestions! It's a very nice song overall! ^_^

Ah yes, I don;t know why I didn't at least think about reverb for that. The only reason that was the way it was is because my friend wanted me to sidechain the violin, but the better sounding violin sound I used didn't sidechain well because of the attack on it. So I ended up using I worse sounding violin for that part. Thanks for all of your feedback!
I like it but as you said it also has a share of problems that are not too hurting, though :)
I like the trancy style it has, but it lacks a little bit of variation between 1:15 and 2:00. After that the song gets really interesting but the drums in the end mislead me to the conclusion that there would be some kind of drop or something that would lead into a loop. Other than that I really like the polishing of the song, the instruments don't clash only the drums could need a little bit of establishment in the song.
But overall it's a nice song that shows that you know how to make trance music :)
Good job, keep it up :)
