I always enjoy a good, in-your-face, original trance song. Like this. lol.
I truly envy your skillz.
I really like the heavyness that comes in at 3:25
I also like how the song is one long, drawn out climactic build-up. (Lol remember System Override?) Usually songs of that variety don't end up so well, but then again there are exceptions like this.
Hope to see some more awesome stuff from you.

P.S. any tips for a beginner like me? Like for example: "use this, avoid this, etc."
I'm no where near professional status so what I say to you is truly in a humbling way.
First, everytime you make a song, make sure you learn from your mistakes. Sometimes I notice some artists on NG do not take their reviews seriously. For whatever the reason, they don't take in the valuable info. The result is a stagnant musician.
Second, make high standards for yourself. If a song is too easy for you to make than the chances are it probably is a song that is lacking. (There are exceptions where you get all this inspiration for a song, but that rarely happens and should not be relied upon) Whenever I make a song, it never does become one song. For example, this song did not just pop out first thing in my head. I have like 6-7 versions of this very song which were just not good enough for me. Its a frustrating process but eventually you find what works best for you.
Thirdly, you can listen to other artists who are better than you. Preferably professionals. They come up with the most creative ideas if you listen carefully. For example, numerous people on NG use filter modulations, but have you tried sustain modulations before? NG seems to be loving the filter automations so this is your time to be a little different from the rest.
Like everything else, it all comes down to whoever puts in the most work. You work hard on your song and trust me, eventually every song you make you will see a major improvement.
Thanks for the review.
Bye for now
P.S.I'm working on two songs at the moment and one of them may bring back old memories.....the style I used when I first started making music. You should know what that is like.
Love it. The fact that it was used in my favorite flash multiplayer game made it even better! It's something that really makes you think, remember, nostalgic somewhat.
This was the best song I ever heard in a while! You're really good at making music! And you say you just randomly made this song? Wow, this is a masterpiece. If it weren't for that game this was in, I would have never found out about this song! Don't delete it, it's good!
I'm much better now I think....well I should be considering this song was made almost 1 year ago. I'm in the middle of making a club mix. Maybe I'll list it as a MS Rave 3 since a few ravey parts. That is if I post it on NG. Might at very low quality...hmm not sure.
