This is the second full song I have made since I started trying to produce trance.

In my opinion it is better than the first, which is also posted on these forums, and it is just more to my liking.

If possible, listen and throw some feedback my way. I am trying to learn as best I can, and any type of contsructive criticism helps.

Thanks in advance,

Kozy

Not bad, but not great either.

Your samples are quite tinny, especially the half-time clapper. It would pay to hunt down some better ones or make your own.

The lead synth is quite generic, but works ok, I didn't mind the melody. I think perhaps you tried to change it up a bit too often, at times there seemed to be the same synth playing, with three or four layers but all with slightly different settings - I found that distracting, it could have been "cleaner".

The intro needs a bit of work, I didn't like the start with the synth being the first element, and the other percussive elements coming in very suddenly. You need to create subtle build-ups to let listeners know when the next element is coming - this is one of the things I find hardest myself.

Keep it up, you're getting there!
