Hi,
Sunrise where you live sound quite harrowing!
I wasn't sure if I liked this at first to be honest, but it was still in my head when I went to take a leak so I have decided I do :)
You have a very different sound - and I mean that as a compliment. The drums in that are pretty sick! Did you make that out of individual drum hits? If so, great job!
I like to come up with constructive criticism, or something I would change usually. Can't think of anything.

Cheers,
Piesy

Hahaha Thank you man, I really just a care a lot about melody and finding different ways to get things stuck in the listeners head, Im still a newb when it comes to EQ, Compression, and mixing so my tunes still sound flat and lack punch which is why I come here, hoping for some info on how to make my sounds more deep and full. I made the beat out of individual hits, I usually just start by recreating something out of my head. I'll be pouring a bowl of cereal and beatboxing and then run over the computer haha Thanks for the listen man!

Like the chilled synth and the beats. Not too keen on the heavier synth.

Same reason I am here Ratcub, that is why I couldn't advise any further unfortunately. I didn't think your tune sounded flat personally....but I am a newb as well :)

I think that my equipment is letting me down at the moment (ooh er), the speakers/headphones I am using just can't deal with the range of frequencies.
All I know of E.Q is scoop out the frequencies that a prominent in one element out of all the rest, and sparingly boost. Basics.
I take it this is not news to you so I will let other people advise.

Yea man I have shit headphones and Im currently packing up to move so I can't use my moniters so I'm literally guessing when I'm Eqing. So lame. I need to sit down for a couple weeks and just practice mixing.

Updated the beat, the mix is so bad. Any tips?

Doesn't sound too bad to me.
Only things that seemed a little quiet was the kick (maybe because these shitty headphones) and what I am going to describe as the white noise hit.
