Hey guys need some critique, mostly on mix and sound quality. Does it lack anything?
Looking forward to your opinions, be it positive or negative. Link:

I can't remember off the top of my head but theres a tag you can use for soundcloud links to make them streamable from here, worth checking out the stickies to find it. It's something like [soundcloud] or something.

Tune wise, sounds interesting, the mix sounded really sparse. It sounded like things were fighting for space. Not sure how you treated channels, groups, or the master, but I'd say thats the place where you could get your most improvement-bang-for-buck at the moment. Maybe have more things grouped and processed together, or side chain more things off each other. Things don't always need to be side-chainging off drums, I get a lot of good results side chaining synths and fx off each other.

Thanks, I'll definitly try side chaining some of the conflicting synths and see if that reconciles the issues.

BTW...I checked out ur soundcloud. U got a pretty dope song up there, do you mix and master everything yourself?

I agree, content wise this is very good. The mastering wasn't too bad but it just needs a little more fine tuning. Big ups!

[elburz]

@amc336 thanks man. I do all the mix and masters myself, definitely still learning on a daily basis though, and some songs seem to work easier than others depending on their content. If you want to upload screen shots or have a Skype session to look at the session, I don't mind lending a hand.

Also noticed the tune is now streamable from here! Right on.

I appriciate your generous offer; im going to attempt mix the song again with the critiques I got from you and other sources. Thanks again
