I got some advice from a professional These were his notes...
Have the drums be more in the mix, the drums aren’t hitting hard enough in my opinion Try to balance individual instruments, In the second drop the snare that was panned to the right was hitting harder than the first drop snare panned left. I feel like the song lacks a lot of low end even with the Kick in it. Theres a sound in the beginning that sounds like hissing that just cuts out and it kinda through me off. Maybe try to fix it by adding a long reverb tail to it. Hi Hats during the drop get lost in the mix. I like the idea you’re going with it if you make the drums more present in the song I think it’ll be way better, Sort of reminds me of a dark carnival festival vibe. That chant in the before the buildup thats panned left sounds so dope you should try and make it more bigger and have its own space in the song.
The song is in the following link. Any input would be dope.
Thanks.
