I would love to hear your guys' thoughts on this. I learned a lot of new things with the making of this track. Thanks!

Wow I can tell you put a lot of effort into this man! Nice work.

The kick is definitely a bit loud.
There are actually a few dynamics issues but your mix is about a million times better than your last song.

Not sure but I feel like there's a bit of clipping in parts, I noticed some fuzz at about 1:00 that sounded a little odd to me.

Key change at the drop is cool haha. Really like the little melody that comes in for the second part of it.

After hearing that first part I really want to listen to deadmau5. I REALLY like chord change between the 3rd and 4th chords in that part, sounds really nice. It plays off your melody so well.

Stoked to see you're making progress man! Huge step up from your last track.

Do you have any speakers? Or are you working with headphones and laptop speakers?

Thanks man! I was having some problems with the kick drum..always too loud or too soft, so I went with too loud:/

I was having some problems keeping my levels up to par, the second breakdown/bridge is significantly quiter than the first, which I found to be a problem but didn't know how to fix.

I am using a older version of these speakers

Ahhh, yeah at some point you're going to want to upgrade from those, monitors really are well worth the investment. Or even some good headphones. But apparently skrillex mixed scary monsters on blown speakers, and koan sound uses shitty headphones for everything, so I guess you can manage haha.
