Hi guys,a remix i did was recently turned down by a promotion page on soundcloud, they said “Mixing is too bad…sorry!” at first, i amused is was an excuse to not to put it up, because i am very familiar with mixing…but i would like you guys to listen and see. Im pretty happy with it…Thanksbr

I think there are things that could be improved.br
br
- Kick sounds a bit lost in places. Turn it up or find a tougher kick.br
br - Clap sounds like its sitting on top of everything. I like to have the clap compressed or sidechained with kick so they sound more connected. This should also bring the voulme down a bit which it needs. br
br
Dynamics between breaks and drop are a little off… thers no real impact when it kicks in… this could just be the softish kick.br
br
When i turn it up loud some of the upper mids are killing my ears… especially that filtered Bass bit. you need to soften it up.br
br
Need more Lower midsbr
br
Ive attached a Fab Filter EQ Preset that gets it sounding nicer on my speakers.br
br
Just use this as a guide for EQing the channels individually.br
br
br
Thanks!br
