easy, in ur face stuff definately! like the melody going on it - original style intro - ill giv u that!
drums - the hihats sound a bit too boosted - weird effect on it. when the tune drops the drums sound a bit pushed out of the mix, maybe cos the main bass noise has too many frequencies on it, it might be cos too many sounds are fighting for space around the higher frequencies.
anyways, definately an original tune, would advise to re eq tho.

hmmmmyeah I never get the mastering right...
I guess I'll learn to do that in time... no?
this one sounds better than my other ones though...
at least I think it does..
hmm..
anyway, cheers!
the best tip i can give you for eq ing is (unless u really know what u r doing) never boost frequencies on the eq - only ever cut frequencies. i went for ages without doing this and my mixes sounded like a lot of bad keyboard players fighting to play the loudest. theres load of advice in the forums for this so i wont go on but generally bass - cut the highs, sound effects - cut the lows, drums - well thats a bit more complex but check this;
and dont worry man, mastering is a pain in the arse boring bit - it wont get better overnight but you will get there - its the ideas which r more important imo

This sounds much too over-compressed to me. The tune itself could be fantastic but everything is sounding very squashed and maxed-out. For some peeps, that's a good thing, but for me, it hurts to listen to this. Also, there's some weird panning going on with your kick. It's usually a good idea to put the kicks in the centre, with a small amount of stereo panning.
Bassline is good. Definite rock-out tune.
However, imo there's too much distortion going on here. There's lots on the snare, lots on the sub, lots on the main bass, even the hi hats sound distorted... it's all a bit too much for my ears. If you toned down the distortion a bit, this could be a great punk-dnb tune for sure!
You're on the right track, you just need to go easier on the compression and distortion.

Holy distortion! I mean I like alota distortion but maybe tone it down just a notch
Bassline is wikkid fuh shizzle but again everything seems so distorted
pretty much everything tomos said... I agree with
but once you get that shit sorted shits gonna be a crazy with cheezwizz insane balls to the wall in ya face break ya neck smasher...

A lot of people on here should be watching some books instead I guess :-)
The bass is so badly distorted that it ruins the snare, lower the high end of the bass a bit.
Otherwise this track is quite nice. Maybe a few different bass sounds have a better result than distorting one bass more and less?

Should be studying too! :-D but hey, what's better than listening and create some fat drum n bass trakcs (in my case it's more trying than creating! :-D)
But what i have to say about the track: Nice! Really tight! ;-)
There are two things I would try to do: Maybe you could give the overall hi-hatt a bit less volume, and a bit more shake-factor, or just pull the kick and snare a bit up. Another thing i would try, is to sidechain the kick drum a bit more into your sub-bass. so the low frequencies don't get to muddy. But these are just tips, it allready sounds pretty cool and real dirty! like it! ;-)
Pretty curious which programs you used for this track.. :-)
DAMN I LOVE THAT BAD DISTORTION!
Dislike wide panoramed kick and snare with long tail under tons of non equed mid bass. Try to separate your snare and mid bass, for example,
mid bass = 220hz-8000hz with some down gaining at 700-1500hz (if u use snare that has metallic or another colouring),
snare = 3 samples, the first main snare with peak 130-160 hz in range 110-200hz, second "mid" snare 400-8000hz and, if needed, the third, snare dust 8000+hz.
