Opening, this just sounds fun, and your sweeping sidechain transition does pretty well. Reminds me of something beachy, honestly, like a Wave Race game. It's just got that happy, wind-in-your hair. I really like the keys on those chord stabs, though I feel more could have been done with them.

Transition at 1:00-ish is interesting, into those strings, with chords I don't often hear in this genre, and the bass sweeping into the new progression. I feel the keys should have crept back in at a less intrusive volume, but once there they mix well.

Build up to 2:20 gives us a satisfying bassline and keys, but that lead is a little weird and just feels like it's hanging out on top of everything. Distorted guitar lead also lays on top of the mix. It's sort of crowding out my ears, and the mix begins to distort. This is where the track loses its center for me. Those leads are waaaaay over the top, and everything starts to feel overcompressed, to the point of distortion. They're simply carelessly introduced and too loud. It is here the track loses all of its dynamics, and I feel the happy is being slammed down my throat almost.

Lack of fade-out ruined at good outro for me. Overall however this was a pretty pleasing sit and listen, with just a couple tacks in the chair. You'll get there though. Keep at it, and again, thanks for the requests. Brightened my night.

I really like the pulsing chords you have! The part after the buildup is my favorite (2:22ish), and you did a really nice job with the sounds you used! The drums were present, but not overpowering, just as it should be in a trance track. I also really like the guitar sound you added later, but it felt maybe just a little bit to harsh. Maybe you could have added some stereo spread to that guitar too. Other than that, it's a great song! I really enjoyed the listen, so thanks!

returning the favour!

Ok so as usual your composition is great 5/5 for that and the violin in the breakdown is a really nice touch. I'd say lay of the Downlifters though in the break.

Ok so like the last the mixdown it's a sidechain/Kick drum thing, have a look at "obtaining" a copy of Xfer LFO tool or something which will squash the volume of the bass down according to how much you want which will help the kick come out more as i feel it's slightly hidden.

My main snag in this all and all is the kick doesn't punch through on the drop. Like i said before message me if theres anyway i can help.

Make sure you don't leave this song and forget about it though, learn more mixing and refine this because the synths, progression, composition, melodies etc.. are brilliant it just needs some tweaking thats all.

good job man.

This sounds allot like the kind of music i once made.
Its easy listening and fun.
i do have to say that the guitar idea is great (later in the song) but doesn't really work out for me personally. The song on its own doesn't have that dynamic feel and feels loose.
Depth is another thing, its their but not allot. you should work on those things in my opinion.

Also one other thing.. not to brag or make you feel like its impossible,
i have worked my ass off to get where i am now(and thats not really far, yet)
its been 7 years since i started doing music.
i did everything on my own.
No friends to help me, just the support from my family
and some guidelines from the internet i kept following.

You are lucky to have friends/listeners is probably what i'm trying to say here ;)
Keep it up!

Awesome track! Trust me man I love me some trance, a lot of my music is really trance inspired. I really like your synth choice and arrangement. The main bell chords are fantastic. The only two gripes I have are that the kick doesn't punch through the mix enough, it's a good selection but it's just not loud enough! The last thing is the guitar, it added a nice layer but the treble is causing distortion, I'd look into it. d: All in all it's a great track andI hope you get those vocals in!

Last thing..

Can I try remixing this? o:
