So yeah i hope the title says it all... i have this track here which im working on theres something im missing i mean something that needs to be changed in mixdown but i dont know what should i actually do so the track would really stand out instead of being an average sounding track... hope you guys could point me in the right direction .

Gotta edit that post mate, you can't embed private links.

This is great though, the mix sounds brilliant and the melody sounds great but don't really get a feel for the track.

That clip's a bit short innit.

This is off to a pretty good start tbh. I'm not sure the mixdown is a problem. If you want it to sound bigger, experiment with layering your sounds, using FX or other elements to fill out the frequency range, making more use of stereo width, that kind of thing.

nice job! good idea..this can make people dance and this melody gives me a nice feeling  :D

but, lets put it this way.  it sounds average because if you break down the track and criticize every element, everything is mostly average sounding.  The build/drop, the melody, the sounds/samples you chose, the drums, because its just a kick by itself.  Of course we all assume that the track progresses with more drums, but since you gave a very short piece to use, its hard to judge that.  If you want to be above average you have to put more attention to detail, not be cookie cutter, and find a signature sound or something that is consistent in all your work.

Finally, theres no way to judge how the track got to that point or what happens after. how you bring in different elements makes a big difference in the track being hot or not.

take care  :)
