This melody has to be one of the more covered out there also. To be honest, this reminded me of happy hardcore tunes from the old days (and in this case I wouldn't say that it's a positive thing, since you're doing trancey stuff). In fact, about 1/3 into the track the only thing differentiating this from a typical cheesy happy hardcore track is that it isn't played at 170 bpm. You have some pretty good layering of sounds going on with the leads, although the high pitched lead got on my nervs pretty quickly. Give the listener a break from it sometimes. Also please give the listener a break from the lead melody at times. Sample quality would be good, if it wasn't for two samples in the drums department. Namely the clap and that hihat-ish thing. Those two samples pretty much single handed take down the quality feel of this track a couple of notches. Another thing is that the drum programming simply is weak. You need more variation going on there. This now is your basic dance beat you learn first year in kindergarden. I'm being brutally honest here, but I beleive it's the best medicine in this case since I know you've got potential for a much better track. Just next time please don't do a cover of a cheesy tune, instead come up with something original. Also, give the drums a chance. They are after all the backbone of most tracks. A bad bassline or lead melody might go by unnoticed, but lazy drumprogramming almost never does.

LOL, everything is based on VST plugins except for those two.. And i will def. work on the kindergarden beat Very Happy

, after listening it, i've noticed it 4 myself ... it is really a boring beat ..

I really appreciate your feedback , it is something i can do something with, i am still learning and figuring out this music stuff. Being nice is not always the right way to give feedback, i have rather a brutal feedback that i can do something with, than an nice one that is not honest ... Your feedback gives me some stuff to work with , so thank U ...
