I did this remix for a competition. I had a lot of fun remixing this, giving it my own twist, but I hope you guys like it.

Nice. This sounds a bit distorted, which might be the fault of Soundcloud processing, but the mix doesn't sound very clear. Composition and sounds-wise though, this is well nice. Love the #tags too :D

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.

The mixdown seems to be a pretty big downfall for me, do you think it doesn't sound clear because several frequencies are fighting? That's the only thing I can think of - unless you have some other suggestions  :D

Also, yeah, dad burnt the meatloaf, can you believe him?

Hey man,

Yeah i think you can get some clarity for this mix.

The first place to start would be your kick drum. It is quite muffled. It needs some top end to cut through the mix. Think of it as you anchor. Because it is a very prominent part of your mix it needs to be spot on. And then build everything around it. Also the balance of instruments is the key. Say if your chord synths are way too loud you would start boosting more mid range and top end on your claps and vocals to cut them through the mix, where else you could have just turned the synths down. Maybe worth sampling a kick from a record you like? That way you will know that you have a solid anchor in the track? And build everything around it. After you finish see how the mix compares to your previous version. No strict rules here dude

Nice one

p.s. just make sure your kick is in the right key. say your song in A Minor. If you going to sample a kick, then go to Beatport and pick a track you like and make sure that it is in the same key or in relative major. As in if it's in A the relative major would be C.
