This isn't half bad. It sounds clean and produced well. I like the smaller effects you've used but sometimes a little overdone as it went on. The vocals are bareable, which is a huge feat today. I prefer dubs anyway but if you are trying to make a romantic track I suppose it makes sense. It fits well with Anjunabeats style.
Id say the track is too short and lacking proper arrangement which allows it to build, crescendo and properly outro, therefore feels unfinished.
Hi HTY
Thank you so much for your response.
Im glad you think its not half bad, and that there are good elements.
Thank you for you’re honesty about the elements that need improvement.
Funnily enough I was worried about precisely the same things.
Recently I have done my first ever small live gigs ( involving ambient acid and techno styles mostly ) and that has taken a lot of my music time and focus. ( plus on preparation for the first gig at one point I almost decided to give up music again).
So basically I haven’t been able to give quite enough time to the tune but 100% agree with what you’re saying.
The tune took me around 20 hours work I think. ( perhaps more) But i have learned a lot.
Unfortunately i needed to finish it yesterday so this is the version i sent the lady. In my response to her advert I mentioned im an amateur and would do it for free. ( in the advert she offered payment)
it is a shame i ran out of time to make a better arrangement but I kept having better ideas for the sounds and intro that the changes took up too much time to apply.
Im going on holiday tomorrow and ( definitely now) will improve certain elements when I return.
It will be too late for the lady its for but she has already sent me a response to this version that i sent her.
This was her response.

Robert I am speechless!
I got actual goosebumps and cried!
You did such an amazing job putting everything I wanted together in a song while making it beautiful and catchy and fun to listen to.

Im very happy with that response but knew i could have done better ( in the areas you highlighted) if id had the time.
For that reason im going to work on it when I return from holiday and see what happens. Itl become a personal project but a good one to work on and learn from now im getting more confidence in writing trance.
With this version on here Its the first time ive ever done a project for someone else so I think by her response I have satisfied her criteria.
Like i say though, shame I ran out of time to perfect it for the deadline.
Cheers HTY much appreciated
