Welcome to the guild

You nailed the mix on this, IMO. Musically, I think it could have done a lot more, but in its current state, I also could easily hear it in a set (perhaps building to something larger) and not even feel the urge to complain. The break felt a little unnecessary and the synth part seemed to buckle under a murky loop point a touch. Right around 4:56 was when I thought something a little more complex could come in (be it another instrument or a subtle change in the movement or both).

For the 'first time', it really had no obviously awkward moments one would later fight to the back of their memories or wince about, should the entire episode be recalled.

ooh thank you Eddie Zilker, that was a detailed review i was looking for, thanks a lot. Feels good to part of the guild.

For a first tune, the production is very good. Wish my first track had been of this quality.

Musically, its not bad. The drums need work, you need more of them, more variation, I could say more groove as well but a lot of trance doesn't have groove in the percussion so that isn't 100% necessary.

Synths are okay, again needed more variation, whether with automation or bringing something else into the mix. Got a little repetitive after a while because not a fat lot happens.

I am being a little picky with these comments though because, by and large, for a first tune, this is excellent.

I used only one kickdrum, maybe some sidechain is needed idk. I used automation on only one synth, i agree i need more of that on other elements of the track. I also agree on having more sounds, i ran out cuz i was in a rush. I can stil work on it and give it more synth taste. Thanks.
