Thanks man! I agree with you, it could use more snare and less hats.  I gave it a shot, as well as a little bit of sidechain from the snare.

As for mastering, I think this is a good place to start if you just want general info.

Hey guys!

I'm putting the final touches on this track I've been working on.  I'm curious what you think of that track as a whole, the mix/master, anything!

I'd be more than willing to trade feedback

Thanks!

Good job! There is one thing that kind of jumped out that I think will help improve it even more.  It's the space that the arps/lead are in.  It's kind of ambiguous and it doesn't sound like there is separation in the stereo field.  Imho the lead should sit near center so its right in front of your nose.  The arps can be pushed aside a little (widened, not panned) so they feel like they're next to you.  This will give a little more separation and let it breathe.

Give it a shot and let me know how it goes! Hopefully that helps!

Thank you very much man! I'm glad you said something about the kick because I definitely hear it now.  Maybe it's because I tried to make it with Romero Kick.  I'll add some beef!

Just edited the SC link.  I replaced the file so it is the same link as the original above

Love the vibe! I'm with ledezma on this one too. I think if there was some brightness in there this tune would just "pop." Just my .02 though!  Sounds good

I decided to record my sax playing into this one to set myself apart from all of the other tracks in the competition

Drop a like if you're into it!  Also, let me know what you think or if you want any info regarding the tune.

Ahhhh good point! Thanks for the heads up on that
