I'm just looking for some advice on what it's missing to help me keep getting better.

Hi,

I'de give you a job if i had one to give

If you've done that on a laptop you've done a stunning job! Well you've done a great job anyway.

Personally would like the snare to be sitting higher in the mix and a bit more defined as a snare sound, i found the mix can fall apart a bit if the snare isn't punching through.

Overall to my taste a bit too much in the 6k-10k region, as the hat and cymbals can be a bit bright and fatiguing at high levels. would go for a bit more 1k-2k region to open the mix out a bit.

The level from soundcloud was -4 dbfs peak? Is your mix that low? i', sure other soundcloud tracks are at full level about -0.3 dbfs

Wrock on....


Chris
