This is a solid trance song. I couldn't find much that I didn't like about it, still, here's some advice:
Cons:- Try experimenting with the kick in the intro. Instead of letting it go full power right away, try taking out a little bit of the low end and reintroduce it after about 16 bars and see if you like that better. Remember, it's your song.
- I see you used someone else's melody for this song? That's alright, but in future songs try making your own. It would be good practice, and, assuming you already know at least a little about music theory, it would not be a problem considering the rest of the facets of your song are already sounding good.
- The only thing I didn't like about your song was the ending. I know it's still a WIP, but if you released it as is, the ending would not be enough. Since it's trance, most other trance songs would slowly lose energy over a period of 8-32 bars, I think. If you plan on releasing this song in the future, you need to give it an ending.
Pros:- Your mix is really good. If I knew more about mixing, there might be something I could tell you to improve here, but I can't. So good job on that.
- The transitions are really smooth.
- It lives up to the genre name. It's really uplifting.
Generally, you have a very good WIP on your hands. Being interested in trance, you may or may not have seen
this video. It would probably be helpful for future arrangements. It also goes back to what I said about the kick earlier. You probably understand the progression of trance already, but in any case, it would better explain trance structure than I could. You might find it helpful for making that ending.
Just a note: I'm less experienced than most of the other musicians here on TPC, so if anyone else gives you feedback on this song that contradicts what I've said here, it's very likely that they're right and I'm not.
I'm looking forward to the finished product. It already sounds very good.
