My, my... sounds like quite a collaboration.
Not to mention, the kick and bass sound rather phat! A very epic trancer from the get go.
I'm far from a mastering engineer... and my current listening equipment is below par, so all I really can do is call it what I hear it.
I see, you grabbed for the staws with the bassline early on. The chord progression seemed a tad too soon, IMO.
The production is a tad muddy as there's some conflicts between the bass/saw/gated pad. It's not so bad, but just enough to probably rise a few complaints from staunch folk. I personally like the expression -- gives it a crunchy pack in the lower frequencies that could fatigue the ear slightly. That's really all there is to the muddiness: it gives the track some character as well as depletes attention. I'm guilty of the same thing -- just so many elements, so little EQ adjustments.
Otherwise, up till this point it's a very steady trancer. The filter's work. The background acid is very subtle and crazy; you can't hear it until the other elements silence (perhaps too subtle).
Breakdown time... I like this vibe, it's almost a cross between harder-driving trance, and proggy smooth. It's epic and soft, yet powerful in melody and timbre.
Bells! What a monster pad. The supersaw alert is on ... raise your shields, epic haters. Cheese for me is good, it's protein!
To me, the bassline is missing all the sudden. It's barely audible, even on these producing headphones designed for bass sensitivity.
Is it me, or could the supersaw use some timbre adjustments? What synth did you use to create it?
I'm en-tranced  ! Hypnotic bliss... what an atmosphere.
Aha... I forgot all about the pluck, that I now hear because of the outro.
Like I said, my comments are not going to help your mastering success... I enjoyed your track for what it was worth: a very bright trance. I do, however, think you should prioritize the frequencies of your kick/bass/and other elements a tad better. It's a balancing act, and I'm the worst offender of the lot.
I wish all of you the best of luck with this production. It's a solid epic track.
