Ok, first, let's talk Mixers. If you're not, you need to be using one. If these are all loops, each loop should be assigned to it's own mixer track.
Now, let's discuss levels. Louder isn't always better. This entire track is too loud. Not because my volume is turned up, but because it's clipping through the entire thing. If you have these in a mixer, you need to bring all of the volume levels down to about -5 to -3 db then adjust them individually until they are all about the same...in your speakers. Not necessarily the meter. Once you get them where you think it sounds good, then check your meter. If it's bouncing above the 0db line, or peaking into the red, then it's too loud and clipping will occur. That's what it's called when it sounds like it's cracking the speakers.
Now, let's talk spacial dynamics. Everything in this track is centered. There is no panning, or real stereo effects that allow everything to sit in it's own place in the mix. When you leave everything centered in the mix, it all just lays on top of each other, crowding up the same space. Then, it just becomes a wall of noise.
Now that I was painfully hones about your track, let me reassure you that you're heading in the right direction. With more experience and practice, I have no doubt that you will be able to put out some quality work. Keep it up!
thanks, but I'm pretty sure I'm good for now. I'm on a $0 Budget, I have no access to most of this, and I started In march. But I'll look into it. Have a good day!
