Too much sub in your intro kick going on. Otherwise nice drums.

The pads are nice.

Vocals: from 12 monkeys or something like that?

Bassline comes in: out of key with the pads and too much sub. Good on it's own though.
Drop: too messy with the sawpad going on. And out of key.
Drums should be a bit more smashing too imo, but that's personal taste.
The pads from the intro come back in: doesn't sound very good together witht he sawpad either man. Work on streamlining your melodies to work together.

Overall sound: not very much brilliance, so work on that a bit, and too much sub. Something tells me your speakers might be not that good on the low end?

1.75/5

Then you wouldn't have turned up the bass that much. If you have a system that gives a balanced sound, your mastering should sound more balanced too.
On systems with bad low end, people tend to turn up the bass a lot...

Lol take that as an indication that maybe something is wrong with the mix Big Grin

If you're stuck with bad speakers it's a good idea to buy a decent pair of headphones and get to know them well (ie listen to a lot of music you like on your new headphones so you get used to how they sound). Then you can reference your mixes on the headphones and pinpoint any problems. It's not the best solution but it is better than using crap speakers Wink

About the track:
It flows nicely, the whole drum programming is done well, although the sounds may be a bit refined, the snare fi does not fit in very well - a deeper snare would be more appropriate.

I don't dig the pads at all, very cliche sounding imo.

Both basses are OK, but they don't fit together harmonically. You should decide on a chord structure and create your melodies based on it. How to do this is explained in this thread.

And yeah the frequency spectrum is indeed out of balance, way too much bass!!

I loved the lead bass (damn that sound was really phat, great idea there!), but the rest was a bit disapponting - especially the 'big' drop which is announced by the phat lead bass. Could definitely use some better drumming and something to fill in the slower parts.
