Hi,
Well what can I say.The sounding quality is PERFECT for me.the melody and theme is wery nice as well.But I think you should change a little the structure of your track.And I don't really like this percussions.
In any case ,you're on the right way man
Keep it up !
Regards.

I like this quite a bit! Nice and relaxing trance. Good variety of sounds that set the atmosphere.

Would I be able to download a higher quality version of this?

I really think this is a top-notch production.

One suggestion i have would be to bring up those shooting FX that start around 2:14, they could really be bouncing around the soundscape more if the level were higher.

At 4:00 where the snare/cymbal brings the kick back in it could really use a boost in treble, maybe a different snare/cymbal... it would make that a much better climax i think.

The two breakdowns seem to be very similar, maybe you should introduce something in the second one, or carry the bassline through it. But i do like the minimal type break, and the 4/4 pause before bringing the beat back, once again there it could use a treble boost to climax it, and slam that first beat down when the beat comes back.

Outro is great, this is very DJ friendly indeed.

I love the cleanliness of this track, i guess thats an indication of good mastering.

I think this track needs a proper intro mix, i think this would be absolutely killer to start a set off with, its at a perfect energy level for that.

The kick and bass are very very weak. Also, the percs need adjusting since they don't really carry the tune too well.
The synths and pads are very good but I'd say it needs something more since it tends to sound a bit hollow behind the synths...

im liking the beginning of this very much

the kick could use some more ummf but it isnt really impotant here for the style...yeah later in the track
defo need more power in that kick and more percussion going on to give it a better perc groove.

but as a chill track it is sweet...some of the synths sounds hashy...

but that all comes down to taste great job

ill be on the lookout for more of your stuff

Thank you all for very constructive critisism and feedback!

I have not spent more than 6-7 hours on this track so there are
obviously some adjustments to be made. I will look into the
suggestions you all made. Now you all have inspired me to keep
working on the track and also post future productions here in
the future.

CHEERS
