Hello, fellow universal beings, I was just floating around my inner space (haha sounds tripy) when I decided to learn how to master a track, so I try to master one of my own, and I came up with this.
I'm really looking for any advice on how to improve my technique,I'm using sonnox limiter, and a multiband compressor Limwaves (something like that) some eq, and I add Dada Life - The Sausage Fattener wich is pretty cool, my limiter is at the end, in the last channel before the post fader channels, I couldn't get that much volume like the pros, but if I compare it to the original mix, It did wonders for it, So how do you hear it? is it to thin? or just aweful?.
The music is kind of cheese, so be careful!put your cheese ear plugs in, so your ear dosen't bleed, jk im stoned!
But I would really love, to hear your thoughts, even if it's just to troll this post haha, ok, thanks in advance!!
may the force be with you!!!

sounding ok on the macbook speakers, but then that's no claim for quality...

Your production is very not patient. At the intro too many things happened too fast. The first melody can be killer with the right production, but the pad behind it make it mellow. You have here some nice melodies, but no offence, the production is not wise, so the potential of track doesn't comes out.
Don't do yourself mastering till your mixing techniques will be good enough. The bassline is not good. i hear to many mid in it, and too less bass. the snare is no good either. it sounds simple. The kick sounds ok but it should be louder.

When i criticize a track, no matter who is the producer, i criticize it like it should be super professional, so don't get offended if i'm too harsh.
No offence taken dude, in fact thanks a lot for your review, I really love your music, so its an honor that you took the time to listen to my song, for that I thank you,I will work in every area you mention, and thanks for the honest review, it has really help me, see my weak areas in production, so thanks again, Im really really grateful! Have a great weekend!!

had a listen yesterday.
yes, very cheesy/euro-trance. overall arrangement and mix was good, a little too much high end for my taste. very digital sound, a little thin. my daughter liked it a lot, was dancing around the room and told me it was great!
Yea good stuff not rly a pro at mixing so cant rly offer any advice maybe the bass being a little too low in the mix aside from that not bad

Hi, agree that the mix should be better before attempting to master the track.
There is something that draws my attention: the peaks at your build ups are too high therefore the bass drops don't feel powerful enough.
You can see that clearly on your soundcloud's waveform, the volume level at 0:50 compared to the bass drop level at: 0:55 is way higher. Try to fix that on the mix before mastering.
