Please let me know what I can do to fix this in terms of mixing or anything, really. It feels really close to done!

Really cool sound design for the most part but the bass seems a little muddy to me.

WIPs / Re: "Falling Clear" -- My first song, advice sought!

Try spacing out the cymbals more for the slow, more "dubstep" part. Sounds pretty great for only a couple months of experience!

Add some reverb to the chord synth.

WIPs / Re: Heavily Cuban-infused Moombahton, close to completion

The beat is pretty solid! I would say that although you want the focus to be on the lead, you should still have some minor background notes to complement the lead; otherwise, it could end up sounding empty.

WIPs / Re: Element two EP
« on: January 13, 2016, 07:56:21 pm »
Not sure if 1101011 is finished in terms of length, but if it isn't, I think a gritty, minimalist percussion drop could be cool. For love machines I think the kick should be a lower frequency. In terms of stylistic choices, I like the dark atmosphere!
If this were my EP, I'd probably switch origins and tainted love in tracklist order. Tainted love follows the danceability (that's a word) of the tracks before and the end of origins sounds like a great EP finisher imo.
Great job so far! This EP shows a lot of diversity and has a strong, coherent theme. Keep up the good work!

Releasing an EP this year. I'll probably release independently because I don't know where to start in terms of labels and sending demos.

Composition/Arrangement/Theory / Re: Repetition: How Much is Too Much?
« on: January 13, 2016, 05:10:54 am »Like others have said, it really depends on the style.
Recently I've been making a lot of tech and minimal house, and repetition is key to give it a steady, "rolling" groove. This is even more important when performing live, especially in a clubby environment. When performing, a good trick is to have a distinct pattern which you can revert to at anytime. If you're feeling adventurous, switch it up! But keep your tempo steady so that you can go back to same groove whenever you want.
As for producing, another trick I like is to make slight variations rather than adding whole new elements. An extra hi hat beat in a pattern can keep a groove remarkably fresh, even if you did not change much.
After looking at this post, songs I like and my own projects, I would agree that changing up every 8 bars is pleasing to the ears, however, like all rules of music, this one's meant to be broken.

Kick might need a bit more sub bass. Keep working on it! Curious to see how you mix it up and/or break it down.
