Nice one.

I like the melody sound starting at 0:31 (I would appreciate a developing melody with it).
Maybe add a pan movement to the noise (sound a bit too static only at the left side)?
The melody synths could be a bit louder.

 

The overall balance of different sounds is very bad not only when it comes to volume but the sounds themselves, its like trying to eat smoked herring with whipped cream. The hi-hat loop is annoying, not only is it very loud but it's very uninteresting and does not contribute to the rhythm of the song. I can hear you tried to imitate modern "EDM" with the intro, don't, its just bad music (imo) and not what and how trance sounds like. The whole feel of the song is very aloof, more like trying to mimic something rather than being honestly creative. I felt the same way listening to trance from 2009 on wards, very distant and boring which is why I stopped listening to it. I'm not trying to be mean here, just offering some brutal truth.

I listened to "Special Love" however and fuck that was really good. Not saying it doesn't need work but it has serious potential if done right. How long have you been writing?

 

been doing it for about 3 years, and thx for the feedback, always helps, the problem is i have to mix on headphones and it sounds good, i cant use my monitors because i live in a flat and people complain.

Mmhm, well that explains a lot. Although it's not an obstacle really, mixing at quiet levels is ideal actually that way you can accurately layer sound volumes because if they sound loud quietly they most assuredly sound loud at any level. And it's great to combo headphones for accurate sound design.

Don't trust any of MQA bold claims, it's all just marketing BS.
If you can't have monitors, then room simulation is a way to go.

 

It actually sounds great in my headphones lol! No, I totally get the "living around others who complain about sound". As they rev up their annoying cars, beat pots and pans, and talk at high levels... These people have no appreciation for the "Art of Sound" ...Hang in there, and Thanks for sharing
