Yeah basically this. This is an example of a very cookie-cutter trance track. Really long build-up, extremely basic treatment of the source, and then a long outro. I'm not really digging this piece; very little in the way of dynamics. The percussion is almost exactly the same throughout the entire piece and it sounds like most of the synths are sitting around the midrange.
This needs way more. More dyamics, fuller soundscape, etc. Really gotta expand this piece and go beyond the basic stuff.
