Well, my ears tell me you did a very good job! I'm not so much of a techy type to be able to give you more detailed advice. I usualy use slight dynamic compression but only when i feel it really works and it's also hard to make comparisons cause I produce quite different sort of music within which the compression actions might well be a mixed bag. All in all, well done my friend!

There is a lot to like about this mix. Have you experimented with expanding the pan a little bit and using a lighter Dynamic compression. For example when the "do you wanna dance" kicks on it's great, stereo panned and in your face. But that synth stab comes in and it's just kind of in the center and has no energy compared to that phrasing. (and that's the phrase you want to make you feel the energy of the track. Try splitting the stab and hard panning both channels. On one channel add just a small slight touch of distortion. You will be then emulating a hardware unit we used (back in the day)called an audio exciter. For some reason doing this would brighten the sound and make it more interesting. You made a very nice comment on my latest track "You always know how to maximize the minimal sound"
To create that minimal sound I use a hell of a lot of subtle harmonics and sub sounds and barely audible phrasings and percussions that just push the main theme or melody along.
I do like how you build the percussion in this one. But when you use a synth phrase try using multiple phrasing to create something bigger. Even take that synth stab and raise it a third or a fifth (chord structure) and pan it right lower in the mix and you will hear something interesting.
Anyhoo, love where you're going with this.

Thanks for your advice. You definetly know how to mixdown a track and can learn from you a lot. I will definetly try out your advice and put it in my track. I am still a beginner when it comes to mixing and your remarks really help me out.

Looking at the waveform the output level is fine M.H
I enjoyed the track,has some good sections and put together very well.I believe it is lacking a little with dynamics in places but that is part of the mix and easily rectified.Sounds a lot cleaner than previous tracks.Take care.

Description : I like to play with myself... Thats not how that sounded in my head lol. I finally am satisfied with my digital VST band. I have a Drum, Bass, Lead Guitar, Rhodes/Keyboard, Synth and some go-to Vocals.
Now all I need is some good ideas for tracks and more practice on my Mix/Mastering game.
This track is a slow 97.5 "Chill-ish", I'm trying out my new Band :)

PEACE...

Description : This short audio introduces MossFree Shoreline, a roof care service based in Shoreline, Washington. It explains how moss spreads across wet Pacific Northwest roofs, creeps under the shingles, and holds moisture against the roof all year long, and how a gentle soft wash removes that moss without damaging the shingles. It also covers the other services mentioned in the audio: moss treatment and prevention, gutter cleaning, and roof leak detection. roofmossremovalshorelinewa.com

Description : Made with a good amount of out of tune on a very minory chordy tuning I did about a week or two ago.

Lyrics are literally just an absolutely abrasive and unrecognizable part of the verse to John Lennon's Working Class Hero which
illuminates my bullying more than any song I have come across ever.

I named it bandit as a sort of that's what you get to society for people like me
