Nice chord progression, very hard trance-ish. Noticed a few mastering problems like you mentioned, which took away from this song I find. I actually prefurred the old version over this one. The vocals are definately better, but this ones just lost most of its flare.
I'd suggest go back to the previous project, change the clap with a more fitting snare, fix the vocals... and that's it. Not sure what you took out / added, but your mix has become muddy. Bass, snare that sounds like a rim shot, crash, and the "impact FX" you used, were fighting for space. Alot of the higher end of this mix is piercing to the ears near the end, as well.
Very good song though, criticism aside. It sounds very familiar, I stopped listening to hard trance tho, so what do I know. Fived both versions, hope I helped in some way... peace

i cant go back to the last project, i work on the Demo. haha
the fix of the song took only 15 mins on the same day. over all, it took me 3 hours to come up with this whole song.
i need to get the full version of FL Studio soon XD

I think the club intro with the bass and acid stabs doesnt fit. But the build up was fuckin sick. I find the staccato melody is kinda wierd (around 2:02). Cus you kinda made it up yourself instead of sticking with the original melody. The kick still seems a bit wierd, I would recommend a kick from blutonium boys sample pack. Kudos to making all the synths... your definately skilled in that department. I think with some work, this would be download worthy.
9/10 and 5/5

I'll be honest, the progression from Trance to Techno won't be dead on, so this song will still have some Trance inspiration to it, such as the club build. lol
I actually wanted this to have a mix of sub-genres, like Hardtrance, Hardstyle, and Techno as well.
Everyone has an opinion, and although the melody at 2:02 is 'weird', it may help if I mentioned that that actually came in earlier, at 1:35. It's exactly the same, but with a sidechain effect.
"Cus you kinda made it up yourself instead of sticking with the original melody." If I used the original melody, that part would be so damn boring. KINDA made it myself? I made everything in this song, the intro bells were made with Sytrus, and NO GAY MIDI FILE either. :]
Download worthy? C'mon, everything is dl worthy, you just choose not to dl it.
Thanks for the review and support!

Never heard the original... but this sounds pretty cool. Not a big fan of the gated synth... but i liked that lead. Maybe needed like a breakdown with some strings... but w/e its good lol.

u blended the beat quite well to make it sound clubby... or u used a loop. Either way its pretty nice. Maybe work on some variation, its getting a bit repetitive. Nice lead... im assuming the melody isnt yours. Nice break with nice strings. I dont think that vox fit very well. Maybe put some hi hats in there? The climax needs a bit more oomphf. The ending of a club mix shud be similar to ur intro, pure drums. Overall nice song, I fived it =)

nice man =p i liked the bongos. Your bassline was in sync with the beat, creating a new drive to keep the symbiosis alive... FADE OUT?> AARRRGGHH

theres alot of bass in this lol. You might wanna compress it a bit, its distorting, but pretty cool overall

Well I can tell u put a fair amount of effort into this, but I gotta say that sound effect u used got really annoying. This song is mixed alot better then ur other more recent songs. The climax at 2:10 is pretty nice... nice nrg. I liked it overall... just maybe do something about that overused sound effect... and props on all the hard work u obviously put into this =p.
