Hmmm...
Yes the squeek definately a track killer unfortunately, probably not the idea but the sounds you used.
The kick for me could perhaps have a richer sound, at the moment it's very clicky and sounds a bit wooden in my ears, althouogh that could be my headphones.
The first bass synth that your bring in sounds a little dry, it sits nicely in the mix in terms of frequency but sounds out of place.
I also feel that the lead could be less squeeky, but I will say that finding the right lead for this track is hard as I have myself tried to remix this only to drop it for that reason.
Nice use of piano, adds something new to listen to, but I would perhaps look at some of the lower octaves of the piano as on one or two occasions it made me raise my eyebrows... not because it's wrong but perhaps it's not what I expected. Doesn't mean it's a bad thing though.
Once the track resumes I have to say that I'm a little disapointed though, it just sounds a little too German Euro trance for me. Perhaps not enough layers. I know the original isn't that complicated in terms of production at least at first glance but perhaps it just feels a little over simplified.
The way the track ends is poor in my humble opinion. Need a bit more drama in my book.
I take my hat off to you though, as this is a classic piece of trance and all things considered from a technical perspective I think y ou have done a good job. Most of my gripes are with the artistic side to be fair.
Not to mention that I am so veeeery familiar with the Pulser Remix that you are really up against it with me. This is probably one of the tracks that defined me as a trance DJ and one of my all time favourites. First time I heard it was Amnesia in Ibiza...
Cheers
