I'm liking where this is going so far.

Few things to note (and some are just personal preference):
In the drop, your mixdown is very cluttered- you could definitely do without so much going on in the highs/high mids. Almost sounds like there's white noise in the background constantly.
Another thing about the drop (and in general really) is that your drums aren't coming through all too well (up until the second drop, that's where they start to fit). I feel like they could stand out a bit more.
Your lead is quite high pitched, so those parts where you raise the melody by an octave actually hurt to listen to.
Another thing that I wasn't fond of was the noise that happened on the 4th beat of (nearly) every measure in the drop- it just made it sound kind of sloppy.

On a positive note, your composition is fantastic and your drum samples fit very well. Once the mixdown is cleaned up I can see myself enjoying this song a lot.

you're right! i eq'd out some layers and it sounds better now. running the drums through a limiter to pop them out.

it's a vocal sample with formant shifting - good point. i turned that down and it sounds much better now! good ears.

This is amazing, I just have one thing to say, the pluck in the breakdown doesn't really fit imo

this is super neat! imo try touching the octave by bringing it low to high on that rapid snare. the rest are super crazy dude all that left is just a decent mixdown/mastering and you're ready to go! :)

Awesome. "Oh"! I also think that the pluck in the breakdown could be improved: the low end sounds a bit muddy so maybe you could high-pass it and use a simpler bass for the root notes?

Great production you did!  :D
To give some tips, I think you need more low frequencies. Also, like Ocular said, I am distracted by the "white noise" in the background of the drop.
I am looking forward for the final project!  :) Keep it up!

yeah this is fucking great, only thing I would say is to tone it down on the high frequencies in the mix, especially during the drop. It gets a little shrill and hard to listen to. Other than that you have something really amazing on your hands here.
but im excited nonetheless
