Some pretty cool ideas here. It definitely feels thin though. I would work more on layering sounds. It feels like there isn't enough happening here so the individual sounds you have going sound dry on their own. Layering sounds (even very subtly) can go a loooooong way in the sense of creating size and space.

I would also work on the drums. The kick is far too thin and I would add some more layers / stereo width to the snare. think something along the lines of seven lions.

Keep it up. You're definitely onto something!

Cool ideas here. I think the overall mix could use some work though.

-The kick is completely lost in your mix. It is far too quiet for this type of track.
-I think you need more low mids. I can kiiiinnndddaaaa here the sub but there aren't enough frequencies in-between that and the mid range frequencies.

Good stuff overall, keep up the Good work!

Nice! Really like the composition of this one. I think it could use some work on the overall mix.

-It felt a bit thin to me ( I have the volume on sound clouds website up as loud as it will go, and my interface sitting where I always reference songs from sound cloud.)
- Kick could be a bit heavier. It does punch through the mix nicely but it doesn't have enough oomf.

I think you've got a very solid song here. Just needs some more beef to it if ya know what I mean :)

Nice track.

Here is some feedback:
 - The kick + bass combination needs to be stronger. It's difficult to point out what exactly is the problem, but I think you need to work on that part since it's the foundation that will carry the track.
- The breakdown is nice. Good pads and I like the birds. Perhaps they are a bit too loud and there I miss some of elements. The birds should be a secondary effect not something in the center of attention during the first part of the breakdown.
- I really like the main riff - both melody and your choice of synth. The automation is quite good as well.
- There seems to be too much compression and/or sidechaining in the "drop" (is that a thing in trance?).
- The crash is too loud + you need to remove some resonance with EQ.

Good job overall.
I conquer with all of these points. I was actually starting to type out some of the same stuff and then realized that most of my thoughts had already been articulated :)

Musically it is great!

You have a very solid foundation here man. I think it could use some mix work, and by the sounds of it, more headroom needs to be freed up for low frequencies because they were a bit quiet in the mix. Overall, great stuff. Keep it up

I definitely like what you have here. However, I do see what you're saying. The track is definitely pretty quiet. It could use some more beef. I think the kick is definitely a bit too weak. The biggest piece of advice I give people regarding any drum sample but a kick specifically is as follows:

Choose a sample that works. Don't worry about Eqing your kick. If you have to EQ a kick, it probably is the wrong sample. I never eq or compress my kick at all. It is always raw. I also never layer kicks. I used to, but I think that one good sample works better than 3 OK ones.

Are you using some sort of limiting/maximization on your master chain? It seems like levels are good, it just needs to be brought up in volume.

Really dig the vibe you have here man. It is a very cool track that simply needs some polishing.

Really cool vibe you've got here. One small thing i noticed right way is that the shaker sample you have directly in the center kind of clashes with the kick. I would pan that left or right a bit.

Overall, very clean mix. Cool sounds. Good variety throughout. Good stuff!

Cool stuff. Interesting ideas here. Definitely a little too crispy for my liking but then again, everybody seems to be doing that these days. Definitely digging the mix other than that. Good work

Definitely cool start. Something I noticed right away is that there's more going on in the left channel than the right. Everything feels tilted to the left side.

My biggest piece of advice would be work on layering sounds. Layer everything. Make stuff more interesting. Bigger, louder, more dynamic. It is definitely good stuff so far! keep it up

Solid start so far! Maybe a bit repetitive. Try and switch things up a tad, use more sounds throughout. I like the dark vibe you've got. Cool use of time based effects as well.

But yes, the clap and other percussion could definitely be louder.

Keep it up!

really cool stuff! I would say the mixing is a bit mucky, but I think you have already realized that. Sounds like maybe your limiter is working too hard causing some clipping to happen with so many overlapping frequencies. It is a bit harsh in the high end.

Really cool musical ideas. Good use of differing sounds. Definitely like the use of ambient sounds in the breakdown. Keep it up!

Definitely a cool vibe! one piece worth mentioning is on where are you. At 1:08 when the heavy synths come in, it sounds very distorted. Like your limiter is working way too hard to keep the volume contained.

Really cool ideas all around. Keep up the good work

Nice! Really solid use of the stereo field. Definitely feels nice and big. Kick is nice and punchy. I think that the delay you've got goin on with those main plucks is almost a bit too much, maybe try and tighten that up a bit. Really good stuff though. Dig it!
