I have been working for years on trying to make great trance music. After much trial and error and quite a learning process, I have a track I'm pretty proud of--problem is, I basically don't know any other audiophiles, much less progressive trance fans to give me the brutal feedback I need.
This has NOT been mastered--I have simply slapped a compressor on the mix bus to make it loud as a temporary solution. I fully plan on getting this mastered as soon as I'm 100% happy with my mix, but I know it can be improved in a few areas (For one, I know I can get more out of the bassline at the climax, but it's tough to balance with the lead). That being said, please listen to the whole track before picking it apart because certain things open up and evolve over the course of the track.
When I A/B this track with "pro" tracks I enjoy (such as tracks featured on Armin van Buuren's A State of Trance weekly show), the pro stuff is definitely clearer and sharper, but I feel my mix is balanced in a way comparable to these tracks. I don't know how much of this I can expect to add to my track through a good master--which is another reason I'm posting. Basically, will it be up-to-par with the big boys if mastered properly? Or does my sound design still need work?
Please be brutally honest--my goal is to have this released by a respectable label. I am, however, a realistic person and know that requires absolute, top-level music and a bit of luck as well. It might be this track, or it might be the next one. I'm open to all suggestions on improving this mix...
Lastly, if anybody wants to plug somebody or a studio that you think would do a great job mastering music like this (at a reasonable price), I'd love to hear it!

Am I ready to submit my work to a record label?
