Please check out my new track 'Luminosity' and post your comments here!

Hey, I've been trying to make my songs sound clean and mastered properly for a while now. It's getting better but i'm still not 100% satisfied.
Also, Any suggestions on how to make the middle section of this song a bit less repetitive? Thanks !

Don't change this one too much, it is great...
Few small improvements you could make(imo):
Add some other elements in the intro, it sounds great but a bit "one dimensional" right now.

Your lead on the drop is tuned a bit weird, I constantly had the feeling that it would go off tone, but it didn't.
Breakdown is ok as it is, you could add some vocal snippets or something or some sound FX to make it less repetitive.
Same goes for what you call the middle part.
In the middle part things go off tone around 3:30.
For the mixdown, your hihat stuff is too loud and it makes the mix dirty in a bad way.
I hear a lot of good ideas and inspiration but keep things tuned please.
The best way out of reptitiveness would be vocals.
Slightly change the structure of your tune, make the first drop longer and the second one shorter. Add some variation to the first drop, introduce the DnB drum pattern in that part as a teaser,...
7:43 is too long, cut off at least 2 minutes and repeat less.
Tune has huge potential!

i would write a long review, but i completely agree with BD, some bits sound quite atonal and some sectuons are too long.

like the wierd reverse guitar part thing. thats awesome.

you have put effects to good use in this track imo

actually atonal drum n bass would be a cool genre (atleast in name), but noone would dj it.

Nice intro, slightly long maybe? The drop sounded a bit tame after such a long buildup, but I think that can be fixed with a different transition. Nice melody, sounds like it goes slightly out of tune, but that's kinda cool IMO. The bass is a bit tame. The track does sound clean but also a bit lifeless and flat in my ears. I think the middle part might feel less repetative if you left some more air in the mix. My 2c anyway. Keep at it.

I completely agree with BD,

I do like what you're trying to do around 3:30, exceptional.

The sound is very clear, so you're doing a good job at mastering!

Try to put some nice, maybe weard vocals in there, I think that would fit.

Tune is OK. Needs more velocity IMO. Sounds used are very timid until the second drop. Try using some more natural sounding percussion (hi-hats / cymbals / shakers). All the best.
