Nice and deep. Like the punchiness in the track. Some sounds are a little too compressed/limited, or at least they sound that way. How have you panned the elements in this project? Are you using mono sounds panned or just stereo files? Too much stereo can really 'crowd' a track. Good effort though.

OK. With the hats (and most percussion really), convert to mono first and then pan left/right. Otherwise - like I said - you'll get a very crowded mix quite early on (even if you ARE panning and balancing things out as you go). Don't know whether the harsh limiting/compression is on your master out or whether you have applied compression/limiting on purpose, but it results in a very squashed sound.

Also, gating your percussion very slightly (either rhythmic gating or the standard type) will help 'clean up' the samples before you start adding fx - otherwise - if you've got hiss or background noise in a drum break for example - when you add reverb, all the little background noises, hisses etc get reverb on them too and that also leads to a 'crowded' mix. Get the sounds as clean and crisp as you can AND THEN apply your fx.

Waves S1 Imager is a good tool at converting stereo to mono and dblue Glitch is a good rhythmic gater (if you solo number 7). A more conventional gate should be included on your DAW.

All the best.

Alright intro is nice and deep, but it could definitely use some more suspense and buildup before the drop. There is a track by Break called Dont look down, check it out and listen to what he does with the reverb right before the break at 1:30, this track would sound sik with a similar technique, check it out you'll see what I mean. main body of the track is soundin real nice great bass work. Definitely finish this one man, great work.

Mixdown is very bass heavy.
Snare could use more punch and clarity.
Strings are all on the right.
Has potential!

liking the bass. not so much the panned synth (maybe its just panned too much a little?). intro could be more exciting with some hats or vocals imo. drums sound quite well, maybe put some fx-stuff in there to make it more interesting. i see the idea here, would really like to hear a finished version.
cheers

I really like it overall .since you have only uploaded 1 1/2 minutes of the song i can't really tell what i think about the structure, i would expect some changes after that, otherwise it get's a bit boring. possibly just some changes in the sounddesign of the bass. by the way, i love the modulating of the bass ! what i dont like are the strings in the high freqs, i think they dont really fit well. Or possibly they just stand out of the mix too much. also i think the drop comes in too fast. there's almost no intro, but that's just my taste.
sorry for any grammar fails, i don't speak english too often
