Title says it all. Melody is subject to change but I would really like to hear your opinion on mixdown or sound design. Cheers!

| Don't know what that clicking is, on the break, but it is annoying. |

@Targus28: It's newer, added some layers and fixed some mixing problems. Nothing major though.
@EddieZilker: You mean the sounds at 1:34 and repeating every 3-4 seconds? That would be sylenth pluck with crap load compression on it and sidechaining. When it hits on an off-beat note it's got very aggressive attack, hence the clicking sounds when filter isn't open. I thought is sounded okay, but now that you said it annoyed you, I will look into fixing that. Thanks! |

| Yeah ditch the clicking. Other than that, seems pretty close but he's incredible at what he does. I'd say he has stronger mid bass for a more driving feel. Also, you're going to have to step it up with that melody. The synth seems right, but he has great melodies. Make a stronger hook. |

Thanks, Evolve140!
You are absolutely right about the melody, needs to be reworked. |

| dont really have any pointers mixing trance is a tricky thing, compounded by dominant label mastering you hear, it gets a bit confusing, id say you're doing most of the things right. Im working on some basic trance myself atm. |

| I like it, actually more a fan of your artwork.. doing that yourself or did you hire somebody? |

| Thanks for the comments! The artwork was done by me, didn't really take much to do it, it's just an effect of some messing around in CorelDRAW. |

| I noticed your .png with the transparency blending into the forum's background, very nice |

| Yeah, it worked out pretty well - was honestly surprised because it looked really ugly in the first version of my avatar. |
