I've spent only about five days in total making this song and I just wanted to know weather or not I should work on a master for this song or not.
Any suggestions would be great :)

| Good track but some things are definitely clashing. The kick is too soft; I can barely hear it and it doesn't give that pumping effect. Second, the pads that come in should be quieter and a little sidechained. They seem to overwhelm the entire mix. The melody is good but the lead is extremely old-school. Try a basic saw lead without any resonance. Lastly, I can't hear the bass throughout the drop/main section. A driving deep bassline would make it huge. Good track so far though. Keep at it :) |

Thanks,
I don't exactly understand what your asking but I'll try my best to answer.
I'm just wanting to know weather or not I should continue working on it. If I can make it turn out well, then I'll chuck an improved version of it up on YouTube and see if people like it. But overall, as would be the case with just about every producer out there, I'm obviously hopeful that someone finds an interest in my music and wants to put it on an album or something like that. However that will take time and I know that, that's why I'm asking for advice and opinions on my music. |

Yeah thanks, I was wondering weather or not I should give it a bit more bass in the drop. And thanks for the other advice, I'll try it out :) |

It's all about experimenting and guess and check to finding out what sounds best with the track. If you feel like you're running the tune into the ground, take a couple days off, listen to various trance music and come back to it with a refreshed mind. It always works ;) |

Yeah, I have been working on it quite a bit lately, and after a while it can become hard to separate yourself from the music, making it sound really repetative and also make it hard to stay focused on it when I'm playing it back. |
