I feel like the mixing can be greatly improved but can't really pinpoint on how. Any ideas or feedback?

*Edit: Added Mastered version

Sounds like it has that old dubstep/brostep vibe to it. Really loving the atmosphere as well. If you ask me, sounds a bit over-compressed, and everything that Vortifex said; however I'm no pro at mixing either.

Nice work though.

Just added the revised version. I took the advice of raising the high frequencies so I boosted it on some of the instruments. Hope I didn't over do it.

well, i.m by far an expert at wubby music but what jumps out at me first is the
heavily compressed drums. i mean theres no dynamics in them. as if its drums from
the windows software wavetable synth playing midi drums.

the composition is good overall. held my intrest till the end.

Yeah my compression skills is pretty weak. I absolutely suck at it.

Hi,

typically when there's not enough sparkling highs in the mix, I try to add a little "excitement" to all relevant instruments. But not just using an EQ, but better something like mid/side-EQ or an Exciter-Plugin and emphasizing the highs in the side. Works wonders to my ears, if applied to every instrument a little and not just to the final mix.

Hi Krypto,
I agree with others above. The composition is great, it's all there, but there's something about the stereo image and the high end that's not quite climbing out of the mix to get me. Maybe it's a little too wet, so pull all the reverbs back a bit? Maybe some extra movement in the stereo field... - some dynamic/time-appropriate panning? I feel like I need to get "closer" to the music, but I can't.

It's a nice piece of music and all but It it still feels a little like it's sort of playing behind a door and is a little muffled.

Also.

I've read that SoundCloud Might be problem with audio quality. I always upload an aiff or wav file to Soundcloud. I'm not sure if that helps but I thought I'd mention it.

I added the version that was mixed by a pro. Let me know how it compares and if anything should be changed. Thanks!

wow cool intro.
I like the arpie, not so fan of standard dubstep sounds so a bit sad they all appear after the drop xD

The melody elements are so much cooler with the dubstep beat than the standard sounds. I really dig the synth and melody around 2:30

a pro, huh? it sounds worse. no dynamic range, lots of pumping in the compression and badly clipped. the revised and wip sound way better IMHO

Which part do you find clipping? Can't really tell.

the entire track is clipping almost all the way through. can you hear all the crackling?
