classic trance sound! intro is probably a touch long, would probably work better as a second buildup imo. can't really fault the mix much, a bit more definition in the bassline once the kick drops in would probably give the track more energy. melody isn't super inspired yet, but it's a wip and all that.

intro isent complete yet :) i still fighting with kick EQ, bass freq, melody progress.
Alrighty, trance review time! Here goes nothing.
The Good:
-The mixing is typically clean, which is nice. There's no clipping causing any particular problem.
-The instruments are pretty nice, they're very relaxing on the ears.
-The chord progression is another good point about this, it's quite relaxing. I'm going to guess that was the intention, but all the same it's very nice.
-That's a really good buildup to 2:20.
The Not-So-Good:
-Okay, now we're getting into the painful stuff. There is no melodic development whatsoever. It would sound much better if the melody changed even a little bit. One theme can only take you so far, and while the overall sound is fairly good, there needs to be a little bit of variation.
-Buildups consisting of nothing but sidechained white noise such as at 0:29 don't particularly sound very good when they have nothing to back them up.
-The filter sweeps at 0:55 and 1:23 aren't very well-executed. The first doesn't have enough strength behind it, and the second is barely noticeable unless you're specifically analyzing the piece.
-The mix gets fairly stressed and muddy at times such as 2:00-2:18 and 2:20-3:14.
Overall: Good for EDM, issues are mainly a severe lack of variation and some transition issues. I know it's a work-in-progress (otherwise I would have said that the ending SUCKS), and that the final piece is finished, but here's what you requested for a review, so here's what you're getting.
