I never liked trance, but now it seems that something has changed. Amazing track!
Reviews for "Amazona NGUAC 2020"
This is really great!! I started listening to uplifting trance a little over a year ago and it has quickly become one of my favorite music genres. To me this sounds very similar to Armin van Buuren‘s style. He’s actually my favorite trance artist. This sounds very professional, and that kick sounds amazing! My only very small criticism is that the volume level seems a bit low for a track such as this. It could be made a bit louder with a maximizer on the master track. But I totally love this! Great job and good luck! :)

hey thanks yes i noticed the mastering got abit off not sure what happend ithink when convert it to mp3 or my Ozone vst bugged during export.
Ahhh who cares if it's any specific exact "trance" or whatever. I have no idea. All I know is it sounds nice and I'm glad to see your name on a new upload, TN! Really good track!
Mate, excellent work - love trance. You hit the nail on the head with this. We know its not massively popular on Newgrounds and that 'trance' is put under a pretty large varied umbrella nowadays (again, especially on here)..but you have stuck to what it actually is, progressive, melodic, euphoric and uplifting...and there are still many people who love this sort of stuff.
Well done.

-Official NGUAC 2020 Final Round Review-
Bringing Trance in the final round is a bit risky, yet you did a pretty good job with it. I don’t understand why you panned most of the mix to the left… Also i think the rising vocal chop at the very beginning is too loud when it ends and the instruments roll starts; on the other hand, the sound design is really solid and bright. While the technical and structural aspects are more than spot on (apart from the left pan of the mix), this track lacks virtuosity. It is big, full or rich sounds and ambitious indeed, but develops too slowly as time passes; 7:00 minutes of trance require a lot of different stuff, but also a heterogeneous chord progression as well. I wish you could have experimented more with notes, and maybe created a more intriguing melody. Still, I’m really fond of the part at 2:39, great and powerful emotional flow. Overall, the track stands up for itself and it’s pleasant to listen to. What a way to go out!
Originality: 1.45/2
Composition: 1.5/2
Structure: 2/2
Tecnicity: 1.47/2
Impact: 1.88/2
Total: 8.3/10

Hey thanks for review, Risky indeed but trance something i been doing since i was 12 years old.
Yea notice that on my mastering process, Idid not upload mastering version so it wasent intentionally going left, "Vocal chop" Its acctully simpel fx chord from sylenth 1 i like to have alot of sounds going on beacuse make song more flow with energy. yea i could sure cut down few 1 or 2 min on the song. Trance is very easy to fail with alot elements trust me i like 5 different melody for this track and match them together is hard. But again for me take few extra weeks would have make song different for sure.
