Nice track! I particularly like the fact that you have good dynamics going on throughout the track, not just blasted up to max volume. I think you might cut back on the reverb a bit to get a cleaner sound with more definition for the various parts.

The overall sound level of the track is a bit low. I see from the forum that you are a new Logic user. Not sure what your experience is with mastering tracks, and I'm certainly no expert, but I also use Logic and here are the effects and settings I was taught to use. Insert them on the "Output" channel in your mixer window. Generally, these will give you a good starting point.

Logic Mastering Settings

Low Cut Filter: 34 Hz (eliminates ultra low frequency that isn't audible on most systems)

Compressor:
Attack: 30 ms
Release: 500 ms or more or set to "auto"
Threshold: -29 db
Ratio: 1.4:1
Knee: 0.7
to for -4 db gain reduction or up to -6 db

Linear Phase EQ: A bit of mid-range boost for warmth if the track needs it. Use sparingly.

Adaptive Limiter: 0 db max for direct output to MP3, etc. -3 db for output of stems for mastering gain aroundd 4.7 db. Don't let input or output light up the red "over" indicators.
