Nicely Done.
The music actually fit the title! Great Mastering for the tune! Nice control of your percussion!
Overall a SOLID piece! Congrats!
You know the drill- review the reviewer... And don't let this be the last piece you submit here... grace us with your talents at least once more.

Here's what I thought.
First of all- I like the drum beat. Very good for you if this is your first excursion into trance. You also change things up a little in the song, which is great. There are only two things that I would do- make your songs a little longer than this... and change out your synths a little. Just some tweaking on FX would do the trick.
Good luck! Put up another one and I'll definitely review.

Glad that you like my very first song. Thanks for the help I'll do my best next time to change that.
Great start here...
Alrighty... let's see. First, and foremost- welcome to the NG audio portal! Didn't know if anyone had given you a proper greeting, so I thought I would.
Second of all, great start here. You can't do better than Newgrounds, in my opinion.
With a little practice you'll be making huge strides music-wise in no time. My AIM's tenken2007- im me anytime if you have questions or need advice.

Thanks for the review and the greeting lol.=) Keep reviewing my song!!
Great sound here dude.
You've got a great thing going there with the relationship between your percussion and your synths at the beginning. A solid piece!!
Check out my work as well! I'd love the input, if you'd leave a review I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks man, I like to try to put out a variety of stuff. Diversity is key.
I'll check out your stuff right now :)
Niiiiice
Dude- niiiiiiice beat! Just what I was lookin for at the moment, too... Would be cool for an inner-city just walkin around scene or something.
Loved the small lead over everything else... sounded great!
If you wanna collab or something- my AIM is tenken2007. I'm very interested in getting in touch with ya.

Ummmm.....
I'm quite certain I heard this song as FL Studio 4 demo, and it even had the same title- "Kinetic" by JasonC... You sure you didn't just take that and export? Sure?
I'm not.
Flagged. If you're not a pirate, I'm sorry. If you are... you'll get the fate you deserve.
Great Start.
Now finish the damn thing! lol Anyways, I thought it was a great start to a great piece- musically interesting and sound, and yet energetic and playful. Adding a kick might help to add energy or a little more bounce to this. A little more mastering on the lead synths would be nice. But overall you should give yourself a lot of credit for this. I LOVE THE SLIDES.
You know the drill- review the reviewer! My AIM is tenken2007 if you wanna chat, collab, etc etc.

Ok ok ok... here we go
Ok ok ok... here we go. I sense so much potential in this song... A lot of stuff to work on. Let's get to work- if you want.
Ok, here's the first part. Add a slight reverb on the vocals in the beginning, but take away the delay- which, btw, are awesome!- as this will definitely build up the sound a lot more for the intro.
Second- the beat needs to step up a lot in order to match the power of the vocals in the beginning. I'll be honest here- the lyrics really brought me up- got me charged for an awesome kick or something. Then it never came. You have an awesome rhythm there- it just doesn't fit.
Here's the third part, which is a doozy... MASTERING. GET SOME. The bass could be set up with a reverb with a really fast decay and slight, slight flange- that would broaden it out a lot. The leads seem to overlap a lot- mastering them differently will help separate out the sound for you. For example, the arp'd line- you could eq it so the middle range is emphasized, add a reverb and flange, and have a nice arping line, then throw a chorus and reverb on the top lead, drop out all of the bottom ranges on it on an eq and have a really crisp, powerful lead synth.
However, these are all suggestions. Now I invite you to do the same to me- review my work please! Repay the favor or wreak vengeance, depending on what you think of my review here lol.

Ok, here's what I think
Personally, I think you know what you're doing. You do need some practice, though, if you're gonna make it in trance (we all do, myself included!!) Here's some tips for next time, if you'd like 'em.
One, your beats are good but they need to come up. Try out different EQ's, especially on the kicks. You wanna feel 'em, and I'm not feeling 'em.
Second, I can sympathize with your choice of melodies... but they sometimes detract from the song. For example- when you start adding the lead synth in "The Ender, PT1", the melody you chose just didn't make sense with the bassline. The rythym was off, plus the actual melody of the piece didn't really flow. It was musically interesting- just not trance. Take a listen to others on the portal and compare.
Your mastering is coming along. Reverb is your friend, chorus and flange too for synths. EXPERIMENT, but make sure you grow!! Add some dynamics in with your FX.
Good luck dude. I have high hopes for ya.

thank you for the review but as it turned out this version was not supposed to have been uploaded. the 2nd instrument you hear was actually so annoying to me that i went with somethin else but i accidentally uploaded this one. Onto the song itself...I keep forgetting about those other synths, I am still new to this whole thing so it may take a lil time to learn especially since im teaching myself, but i will give reverb a try when i think about it. Yes, I know I lack bass. But I dont notice because the sub on my computer hits just fine.
Great stuff here.
It's more ambient than your previous work, it makes sense musically, i like the flow of the piece.... what's not to love??
You know the score- review the reviewer! lol j/k but if you do have time...
