Updated track from sonic c after feedback - What you think?

After i posted a star too far I got a ok reaction some loved it but a lot of people said it needed more going on more melodic content etc. Anyway I reworked it and here it is. It has not been through studio etc so probably not a better mix quaity but i can fix that later.

Hope you all like.

EDIT : PLEASE IGNORE RANDOM VOLUME DROP ON MAIN MELODY BEFORE DROP ITS A CUBASE MIXDOWN ISSUE

Melodically I quite liked it. Especially when the full piano type melody kicks in after the break. A little too familiar perhaps but I did like it nonetheless.

Other aspects of the track were solid enough but in a very generic way. Nothing I haven't heard before numerous times over. Personally I'd have prefered a few surprises regarding percs, synth sounds, automation. Instead I found much of it very typical and standard if you know what I mean.

Won't bother commenting on mixdown if this isnt the finished mix.

Anyway, like I say, I did quite like the melody which I understand was what your main aim with this rework was.

With a bit more work, this track would stand up against many other trance tunes. But I don't think it would stick out from the herd in anyway.

Technically you've improved a lot from what I heard when you first arrived at this forum

Thanks Gcon I think before i try to break the rules i need to know them first if you get me. If as you say i could get this to stand up againt other trance tunes production wise, and entertainment wise then I can start putting my own stamp on my music from then on. I am not into hands up trance so much anymore I like the more modern progressive, electoish sort of sound. But I know the hands up genre well so this is a learning tune for me and I am determined to get this tune finished its been 3 months work and its the first one I have really seen through till the end.

From this tune I have learned so much mixing, mastering, melody writing everything and If it does stand up at the end then im goin in the right direction and i achieved what i set out to achieve.

Thanks for feeds
