theseyh,

The bigger picture:
I think you have too much repetition in your leads and drums. I think it is ok to repeat alot but just make every 8/8 or 4/4 section with something different, like on time you play with LP filter then you play with distortion and add chorus or flanger...
Or even take same midi melody and push through different synths, try to pan each left and right to creat kool effects... stuff like that.

I also think that you don't have enough roughness, but that's personal taste already. I would introduce more breaks and explosiveness with crash+reverb, lifts, reverse kick or bass, sudden +12 semitones lifts and back... etc


On the details:

The kick is too fat and I also hear it in stereo for some reason always make it mono by default, sometimes you can make it stereo just to fool around but it should be mono. Did you put and EQ on it and pulled the lower frequencies up?

I think your bassline has too much glide (notes are too long) so you need to make the notes shorter, or variations of short, medium, and long.

The filters you are using are either not up to the task or you note using enough resonance because I hear you play a lot with them but they too WEAK. When you pull the cutoff up or down pull the resonanse up and you will get a much rougher effect.

I think that you got good melodies and the ideas are there but just need to work on the little stuff like filters and more variation and stuff.

good luck man!           http://soundcloud.com/exkor

Thanx for your comment exkor, i use a kick sample for the kick and i use fruity parametricEQ2 with "kick preset" i dunno wich one is the reason for the sound of kick but maybe none, cuz thre was waves maxxbass on master chanel and i know the filter is fruity free filter with bandpass i guess i should find a better filter or i have to have better knowledge how to use filters
and i know there is same parts and riffs again and again but i too much work on sound and i done parts with inatention, i know i must be patient. but i am too rushy to get oppinions to find where i have to focus, i thank you again, it helps me
