I love the atmosphere the most. The mix sounds pretty solid to me. I didn't find the vocals to be too loud. It seemed pretty well balanced. I did find that four bar chord progression to get a bit repetitive after awhile though.

Sounds clean to me too. Cool song btw.

Happy you enjoyed it at least. 

MIX IN KEY

This came naturally to me because I learned music before I learned to DJ. My dad used to mix songs with totally different keys in his sets and it used to bug the hell out of me once my ears were finally developed enough to hear the clashing notes. If you don't know music theory or aren't able to recognize songs with similar keys then I'd HIGHLY recommend downloading a software called Mixed In Key. It figures out all the keys of the song for you and adds them to the id3 tags that way you can tell which songs will flow into each other.

Another tip as a DJ is don't kill the dance floor. Be very aware of the drums in your mix. The drums is what makes people wanna dance. If you remove the drums at the wrong time then you can totally KILL a dance floor.

Finally, be aware of the amount of energy within your mix. If you're playing at the chorus and you're at the climax of your track then you don't want to mix it into a song that is barely getting started. This will also kill the dance floor.

I work just like you. I actually can't write a melody to save my life if I don't have the chord progression down. Having the harmony is just so important to me when it comes to composing melodies. Try not to think of the harmony as a separate entity from the melody. If you're playing a Cmaj7 chord C E G B but the melody is playing a D then what you really have is C E G B D, a Cmaj9 chord.

Likewise, if your chord is a dominant in the key of C Major. (G B D F) but the melody is playing a A then the chord is actually G B D F A, a Gdom9 chord.

You learn to think this way when studying counterpoint and part writing. If a note from the melody hits at the same moment as the chord change then I just consider it to be a part of the chord. All the notes that the melody plays after the chord hits can be analyzed as passing, neighbor, or chord tones.

I was listening to it and I really love the song but my engineer ears picked up on the mixdown and I really felt like there was too much bass.

Is it just me or is the bass too loud?

Specifically at around 0:18.

In my experience the best way to learn a software is through trial and error. I use Logic Pro X and when I was learning logic pro 9 I took a video course as beginner. That course didn't do much for me.

Never know though so go ahead and give it a shot.

Would you have any tips or recommend anything?

Listen to your favorite chord progressions and transcribe them into your DAW. Analyze them. You don't need to know music theory if you're able to come up with your own method of doing things. You already know that you have a taste for seventh chords. That's a great start.

I'd also highly recommend transcribing or learning piano music. Learning songs on the piano is the best way to learn how music is arranged on the instrument. If you can get something to sound good on a piano then arranging it for electronic music becomes a breeze.

Finally...

As far as harmony you can also say I have minimal understanding like I know what a primary, diminished, augmented is compound intervals, major minor 1, 2, 3, 4 etc like I understand them but how to use them properly or mix them I don't so I don't understand

STUDY DIATONIC HARMONY

That will teach you how to use...

a primary, diminished, augmented is compound intervals, major minor 1, 2, 3, 4
