Latest version, as always feedback appreciated.

I really start to like it, but I think it can be improved still ?

I started with something new.

I would like to have some feedback.

How do I continue without too much copy paste, ( or getting away with it ) without making it boring ?

Good start!
I like the girl sexy voice in, she kind of gives the track a 'rough' feel, and thats really good! -but then thre are 2 elements that does not fit
The first 2 claps -i dont know -it may just be me, but im not always liking claps
perhaps its just me :p
But the soldier-drum taps are simply not trance - Just increase the intensity in the roll and add some white-noise .. like 'sandy' sound that intensify and max out (imo)

To continue, you need to build a tune over your nice chords, a 'pianolike' breakdown over the chords, a new build up (massive) and a all in euphoria where it all comes together -> masterpiece :D

Thank you. About those drums, Its on the list of things to do, to find better fitting drums.
I need more aggressive drums, I think. And you say more notes, that should be simple.

The claps, I love them, but you mention the start. You don't like them at the start or don't like them at all ?

You also said, a piano like breakdown over my melody
What kind of trouble did I get myself into this time.

Is Rick Wakeman busy at the moment ?

( if only I was that good )

Serious though do you have some example of what you mean, or could you elaborate a bit more on it?
Or maybe a suggested note lengths will push me in the right direction?

Something like this maybe? :
At 16:30 ?

We have a winner, I have an melody over the chords.

At first I was lost.Why is my "chord progression" not an melody. Were the bleep am I gonna add another melody.
After thinking about this for hours, I saw the light.
Were else is that melody gonna be as over the chord progression.
I cloned the string track, and painted ? a melody on top of it.
It was rather easy, to find a nice note length.

I think I have gone overboard with some improvisation part. Even me the creator loses the 1 2 3 4 LOL.
Needs a bit of tweaking, a tad too much variation,

Found different snares, which might sounds good with an filter. Still need to find white noise.

looking fwd to hear your progress - but please dont follow all I say- YOU like claps KEEP them. YOU like 'soldier-rolls' KEEP them
I only say what i think, and i have no real knowledge / success, so get more inputs, and perhaps most important: Listen to the type of tracks genre you like to make
How is famous trance-tracks structured
how does diffrent tracks uses rolls, and where
how do they go to breakdowns, and what do they use (not always piano, but often)
Thats how you 'learn' - not by following my very feeble idears :p

Don't worry about it.

I was not happy yet myself, about that drumroll, and most of the time I do agree with you're feedback.
The claps is prob the first time, that we don't see eye to eye.

Maybe I should plan a bit more on which type of EDM I am making. Right now I usual just start

To give an example though of something I like. ( and which is quite repetitive:
