Your mixes are one dimensional and lack lustre. It shows lack of theorectical skills in music composition and imagination. Three out of four of the mixes play a single note thouough making them sound mundane and uniteresting. Sorry!

Not my kind of music at all, however, I think it would benefit from some extra movement in the sounds. Some basic filter adjustments (cut off and resonance) on the gated lead would be a good place to start though I would also consider tweaking a few other parameters for added variety.

Also, this style of music benefits from breakdowns and crescendo's.

Give it a go and see what works best.

Keep it up though, even if it only as a hobby.

As your tastes grow, hopefully so will your music, it may be likely that trance isn't your true style.

Take a listen to some of my stuff and feel free to make a comment (I have started a thread on the "link your music" page - feel free to say a few words in there).

I didn't think these were that bad - if you work on the EQs and mix a bit more and on some different speakers these could be pretty good.

This kind of music is supposed to be repetitive, but yeah some little variations in the percussion and stuff would be a good idea. Personally, I find adding variations and fills that keep the groove to be quite tricky.
