Hi ISRA,
this was my first attempt at marking some dark psy, atmospheric kind of sound... What do you think of the attempt?
I'd really appreciate your feedback////
Thanks!

Kick and bass need work they dont glue well, try removing freq below 50hz from the kick, raise the bass volume and work on the compression also, boost around 60hz for this kind of low bass, clean the upper freq of the bass cut it out @ 3000hz +/-
Clean your mix, start cutting off frequencies on your synths, percussion, fxs, you have a big soup of unnecessary freq on your elements and it provokes lack of definition and ear tiring.
Ease off on delays and reverbs, choose them well and apply only to some elements of the track not in all. These are mix destroyers if not used knowledgeably.
Ok so now the dark psy, yep your heading towards a common softer side of it, all and all its a good track for first one so, Keep at It!!!

ZenMind - Thanks a lot for the feedback and for listening to the track...ill seriously need to look into the aspects you pointed out...oh btw, checked out your sounds....some lovely sounds you've got!
meanwhile, i'd like to hear some more feedback from some more people on other parameters of the track, or rather the whole track, in general.....
thanks a lot again...
peace!

I agree with ZenMind about the low end, and with regard to the verbs and delays - i like to use these too, but make sure you have EQs after all of them, or gates, or something to effectively control them otherwise yes they will destroy your mix.
about the trak over all i think this sounds really good mate, very creative, the composition is all there for sure. i especially like what you have going on at 3.50!

some real nice work mang,, you have all the elements flowing nicely together,and track has nice flow to it,, i suggest you get better kick, that is what is muddy'ing up ur sounds,, also watch out for some of the high freq sounds u using in it,like around 5:30 the sound u using as lead,, its a bit too harsh and loud, simmer it down a bit, also u can use some automation to get it moving about a bit,, also raise your percussion levels a bit,cause they a kindoff crrowded out by the other high end sounds,,otherwise nice work,keep it up

Lovely, lovely... Really great track. You should continue going dark.
Didn't like the lead coming in at 5:20, the rest felt perfect!
