Hey I love your bassline. How many layers do you have for it? I would say you should add a lower bass (maybe like a sub bass). Also, did you use sidechain compression and link your basses to your kick?
I love the way music can have such a profound effect on the human race!

Thanks!  There was already a sub. I have 5 layers. Sub, 2 Highs, 1 Mid and one Acid layer that's very subtle.

Here's the track. Almost done with it.

Sounds solid enough to me on consumer speakers.

nailed the trance sound.

Nice tune man! There's alot of stereo going on so maybe if you brought all the frequencies under 150 to mono it would balance it out? The kick also seems a bit faded, not sure if it's drowned out by other lower frequencies or if it's the sample itself, but try cutting the low end off the bass synths and subs and add a small amount of compression and saturation to the kick. Also, love the lyrical breakdown with the synth plucks! At 4:33 i thought my internet d/ced with the silence lol. I'd add a riser or fall in that spot or put some delay/reverb on either the synth or the vocals to fill that space, although that's just preference!

Nice work man, keep it up!
I'm just that guy that loves sound. Message me if you also love sound.

Thanks man! I now have everything under 150 mono. I used TP Basslane. I eq'd the kick and bass some more. Hopefully it sounds better...i struggle really hard in that department.  Let me know what you think. At least on the mixing side of things.

Here's the version with nothing on the master.
