most of the synths are too dry and too bright, pull down the 5-10khz on them and give 'em all a little bit of reverb. kick is too quiet and shakers/claps/hats are too loud. the uh. tribal drums or whatever they are. are too ringy. try to volume envelope them to be short and punchy so they don't take up unnecessary space in the mix. they're also very muddy and competing with the kick, lower their <300hz content a bunch.

Ahh okay yes that is my main problem in all of my mixes, the drums get muddy when competing with the kick. Thanks for the tips.
