Bassline sounds dope. It is in a million other trance tracks though.
I really like the kick. Sounds really nice. Percussion is really sweet too. Maybe take some reverb off your clap, and bring it a little more toward the front of the mix.
Typical trance style melody, sounds good, but very typical.

Good quality stuff though man.

There's a clap in there? I'm amazed you can hear/make one out, because I sure can't.
Otherwise:
-The crash cymbal at the start is too loud, and has too much hi-end.
-The kick's too slappy, and quiet in comparison to the bassline.
-The kick just doesn't have any middle/middle-low frequency punch behind it. The mix is also missing alot of mid frequncies, making the hihats/tambourines sound loud and hissy.
=The lead is too far back in the mix. It needs a bit of tweaking to get it sounding tighter, as it sounds quiet loose. Bring it more forward and have it fuse with the hihats as the two are currenty quiet distant(in terms of both gain and the frequencies they occupy).

I don't have the best monitoring equipment at the moment. But i have to say i like the kick, as well as the percussion. If anything i would simply add another couple hats eq'd more toward the middle freqs.

This track reeks of quality though. It's obvious you've got technical skill.

I like the kick, percussion is good but as stated before the hats are a little 'too high', need to drop back a bit.
Lead pads and that sound tight, but need to be more forefront in the mix also.
Coul develop into a epic uplifting trancer tho!!

its starting out good mate heres what I noticed
1.Quality is deff real Low
2. Kick is to thumby for asot style needs to be tightend up morewith the bass
3. The Percs and Crashes were really on the High end
4. The track lacks Mids and some lows
5. Needs louder clap with some reverb
6. Its got a great feel going here dont stop.!!!
