Hi everyone,
Please check out my song and see if my mixing is okay and stuff.
I kinda just did everything by myself without any help since I've been producing and I wanted to see what you guys think lol

From first listen:
- Kick is not strong enough (maybe an other sample?) and needs to be a bit louder
- Pad-Synth is too loud
- Low end is missing in the whole track - but that could be just my headphones
- Bass needs to be more present
Melody and lead synth are quite good for a makina sound. So i guess you will have to work on your "rhythm machine". A lot of the things are already there but just need to get better which comes with practice.

Thanks!
Yeah I could probably just try changing up the EQ or the volume to fix up all of those you mentioned actually.

Holy shit bro. Are you mixing with iPod headphones or something??
The melody and lead sounds and all that are great but dat mixdown!
As ViolonC said, you need a completely different kick sample. Try the vengeance sample packs. Pretty much every**** in hardcore uses them! Essential Clubsounds 1 is probably my favourite for kicks and stuff.
It really sounds like you have a high pass EQ or something on the master channel. Are you absolutely sure you don't?

Is there a limiter on the master channel or something?
The mixdown needs to be completely redone. Keep at it though! I can hear a lot of "potential" :)

Seconded. You definitely have potential. But ffs buy some speakers with a frequency response below 150hz! :)

Thanks for all the replies guys. I think what I'm doing is I'm normalizing the track when I'm converting it to an mp3. Should I keep doing that or should I do something different or is there any proper way for finalizing the song?

Yeah I think for the lead synths I'm high passing the EQ, but I checked and I did not put any EQ in the master track. I have no idea what I should be doing so do you have any pointers? Thanks! :D
Also I should def get better headphones because mine are pretty old.
