When I first started making tunes they sounded really dry and flat. I didnt have access to exiters and didnt know how to use a compressor etc. So to cheat I would make sure I was happy with my mix and then run it through ozone on dance mastering preset and it sounded wetter and better.
So no not a joke but you took it the wrong way. Im saying if you are a complete beginner just starting out this can help get closer to that sound. Ozone has Harmonic exiters, multiband compression, mastering reverb, master eq's Its a mastering plug in FGS.
So i rushed the last post my advice is. Once you are happy with the levels of your instruments etc and your song is playing below 0db. If you do not know how to manually do the things ozone can do there are some handy pre-sets you can use geared toward trance that will improve the sound. 
Also by looking at what the presets are for example setting the drum booster pre set which is not right for every drum but you might get an idea of a good place to start with compression etc.
Also getting ozone made me look into aht exiters were and how they were used.
BTW TA's I share your opinion i have songs from 2 years back when i first started and im like OMG no reverb no effects out of key melodies chords that sounded too dissonant etc. Two years on from spending every god damn night in my studio I am getting there. So take their advice and practice.
But i challenge anyone to get an unmastered trance song run it through Ozone with dance master setting and say it sounds worse!

Processing a highly structured and complex pattern of sensory input as a unified percept of "music" is probably one of the most elaborate features of the human brain.....understanding how music is perceived and how it may elicit intense sensations is far from being understood.
