Caleb Golston - Mega (Original Mix) [Be Critical]
I uploaded a few ideas in the past two months that have fallen through. I want to go to the next level and really push myself so I am not settling for anything less than a professional track. If that takes 2 years from now than that is what it is going to be. I waited until I had a good amount of the song complete to post this time. Any criticism is appreciated.

Hey I've tried a few times here but the link is blank?
Track needs to start out with a kick drum
the intro is paced too slowly
the lead doesn't sound loud enough or something
there's not much syncopation in the track to give it bump
the lead idea should be introed earlier
you need more content in the track to keep it interesting

I was talking about when the lead comes in.
Add something to the second climax as well, it�s quite boring like this.

Well done. I like the chords and the sounds. Very original vibe to it. Both climax need more energy in my opinion. Other than that you've got a winner that could get some interesting support if you make it end up in the right inbox.
What I think this track needs is a bit more big room feel. Try and make the chords sound wetter. More reverb and delay, maybe even a bit longer release on the climax as well. It's just to dry to give it that massive feel, also I'd look into finding a different bassline pattern, if not for the first then definitely for the second climax. Problem is the outro has more energy than de climax that came before it. It has teh awesome.

Great track, but � bit too sweet still, like ST. Is Sabine, more verb and probably sidechain the heck out of those main stabs. Think Ti�sto 6 years ago.
What software are you using to create your music ?
If i know then it's easier to give tips on what to do.
From what i hear till now you try to create hard style.
The lead is a hard style one.
But the drums are very soft for hard style.
First thing i'd do would be to give it a real kick
The kick you use now is more a snare drum than a kick
Most producers use that kick in breaks or at the intro
3;15 would be a spot to add an extra harder kick
Then you got a very long intro but you get it off the ground.
Without a harder kick to me it sounds like this plane is taxing on the runway.
With the harder kick in there you get it off the ground hihi 
This style of music makes you want to dance ,jump.
And a snaredrum is not punch full enough to give the needed bite
This example is Hard Style-Jump not your goal i guess
Because this kick is very heavy
But the build up of the song is similar ,starts with snare-intro
For YOUR harder kick ,i would listen to Sean Tyas 
He plays hard trance in his old sets.
And thats the typa kick that perfectly suits this one imho
Thats more powerful uplifting kick work instead of hardcore

Next week i'll up some trax of mine in this genre.
Perhaps it gets you some idea's for your song.
Done some creative things with a song in this style that you don't hear much haha
Here is a harder track i done [Softer than Tyas kick ,but also punch enough for your track]
Not many different sounds or many drums
But the lead is telling whole story ,to not get it boring.
And i moved the tyming of the notes to a unique position.
Thats gives it a unique swing to it [Bad Leg Dance hihi]
Some more changes or added instruments would fit your track too imo
This one is rather empty too but not boring cos the notes tell a story
So are not playing same melody all the time

Yeah that Arty track also has that typa kick.
Then you have a different goal in thought lol
Not my taste of music ,I like punchy kicks.
@ Richard
Your kiks are very old fashioned as are your synths.
This is a wind up right?
Yeah that example song is very old. So logic.
Thats T-Pulse VSTi from 2006 rather rare now i think lol
Example was about the note changes 1 sound ,many melodies.
I give an example ,said a Sean Tyas typa kick would better suit it.
And i like old fashioned sounds ,Classic Trance.
But did get the armada-Uplifting sample set to get some new kicks
A wind up ?
Whats a wind up ?
If you mean a joke ,,nope
I like stronger kicks ,so like Sean Tyas old songs as example.
So the opinion was not to make fun ,but to give my opinion.
The member posted at my topic
So then i think it's only fair to check and comment on one of his topics
So curtency i think they call it in English ,not to joke
I'm not a person like that ,Else i wouldn't use so many words ,spend so much time on it.
I really like where this is going - for some reason I got the feeling that this may be your prime track so far (all depended on the final direction you will take with it).
You got to take this to another level (with/in the finishing stage of your production) - good luck man.
