Thanks for listening!

Anything before 0:21 is really random.... 0:21 - 0:35 is amazing. Needs a lot better transition there, though. The build is epic, but the drop that follows is WAY overdone.... Way too much going on at the same time and I have a pretty strong feeling that it ruined something absolutely amazing.

Basically it seems you have elements for two different tracks shoved together into one. Undo that.

Also... Not everything belongs in the foreground. Leave some room for the lead sounds and put everything else on the background to support them.

Looking forward to hearing a fixed version. Keep at it!

choice track, id work on the levels in some places.

Hi Shaion. Your feedback makes a lot of sense to me. I'm aware that the intro and other parts are lacking transitioning and I already processed some improvements. I've been producing (in spare time) since beginning 2012. I'm aware that mixing is a big part of producing a track if that's what you mean by 'sounds on Foreground/Background'.
Could you maybe refer me to some basic mixing tutorials/articles, please?

What do you mean by 'choice track'? As in; You either like it or you don't? Or what else?

Thanks for the feedback guys, I will post an update soon.

My bad, posted wrong link, fixed. (also updated on first post)

Intro makes more sense now, I suppose. 0:21-0:35 is still good.
Half-tempo the transition at 0:41, should get a lot better.

The drop is still way too overboard... The synths clash like hell. Try moving the wobbles a few octaves lower or get rid of them altogether. It's just a complete mess as it is now. Also don't use the same synth for everything, it's bound to get in its own way.

Work more on the outro, it could use a better transition.

Hi Shaion,

Thank you for listening again.

Could you maybe explain, or refer me to an article where I can find out, how to get rid of the bandwidth collisions?
I already worked on the leads / bass levels and I thought it sounded a lot more clear now. From a personal point of view I don't see how the drop is overdone.

Thanks
