Mini-Song Critique Please

I think it sounds too funky. I don't think its "trancey" enough. Bass/and Lead need some tweaking on the notes to make it more trancy.

Be harsh, but not too harsh, as I am basically a beginner (as you can tell by my stupid questions on the board).

If anyone feels the urge to collaborate, let me know. I would appreciate all the help and guidance .

I tried using the Em scale, but I think I missed some notes.

the bass would sound good in a break, but for a main section i would use something a bit more driving. it's like there's a stop every 4th bar.

the main melody is nice, sounds a bit like old cosmosis
it could sure use some distortion imho. that should give it more bite when you turn the cutoff up.

and i'd use completely different percussion. the samples you are using sound a bit like early 90s techno to me (as well as the structure of the intro. starting with the kick and introducing some percussion one by one is typical for techno, but a very rare thing in trance)

a lot to be done there to my taste .
not talking about the compo but sound wise .
the bass and percs even snare need some serious workout (more eq ,comp ,dist ......)
one good trick to warmth your tracks is to have a send effect in wich you cut frequencies somewhere between 600 and 800 Hz and put a distortion of you taste after it ....so you can feed any tracks more or less with it .           soundcloud/roakanan.com

Yeah, the track still need work, but I don't think its going to get it. I'm not feeling it. I still need to work on my mixing skill. This track was more towards composition side of things. Thanks for the input guys, will keep it for the next track
