you can feel the low end a bit, but the kick lacks presence, especially the attack.. try maybe increasing the mids or high mids, maybe layering it with a different kick. its a really good track though.. will follow :p

The kick sounds very light for this kind of track to be honest. It almost sounds right during the quieter section but I'd definitely go for something different in the first half

yeah i think you can stand to have the kick a little bit louder in the mix during the busy section...I don't mind the tone of it tbh! I like the side-chaining you have going on though so if you're thinking about adding a different kick or changing the kick's envelope at all make sure you maintain that hard work you did fine-tuning the compressor's settings

Put Bluntly: 99% of the time, if I dwell on an element of a track and ask myself "Does this sound okay? I'm not sure if it does..." Then it usually doesn't.

yea i like the tone of the kick too, but i think i have the kick in too low a frequency range, cause i pitched down the sample 8 semitones. That's probably the root of the problem somehow, this  is probably why the kick lacks the attack and punchyness

Hmmm... Sounds good to me, i think if you check the atack when you use on all overal thing in project, and try some necessary cut on the mid lead, and high lead to.

Anyway, this track is good man ^^
