First Ever Attempt of Mastering-Sounding good???

This is my first ever attempt of proper mastering. This song was made in FL Studio 9 with a few added plugins and sample packs.

Please feel free to give any feedback, good or bad.

Cheers

I can here (atleast I think so) just about every sound you have going on pretty clearly, but it does seem a little muffled. Non the less, I really like that track, you got uplifting trance nailed!

I would have to agree that it sounds a little muffled. The bass is a little bit strong. Do you have a reverb or delay that is dominating the sounds down there on one of the synths? I would recommend experimenting a little bit with some more sidechaining on the bass synths and seeing how that sounds to you. Putting a separate high-pass filter on the delay/reverb of the bass synths could also help alleviate that problem.

I like the melodies and chord progressions. Although, partially due to the fact that the song is so long, they get a little stale near the end. Try to shorten the buildup/breakdown a little bit and put little variations on the melodies and chords so that you keep the listener's interest.

Thanks for the advice, I'll try it out
