First thing first you will not win the loudness war!! it's too loud & distorted...

I couldn't finish the track..sorry

it almost sounds like a xmen sequences, but i'm not sure

 

thanks im actually trying to calm it down now the drums are pissing me off!!!!

figures its so loud, my interface was turned halfway down *no*

 

I'm sorry but this is unbearable. Too much distortion.

 

composition is nice, lots of tension, definitely video game / cinematic influence showing through. However, everything is shouting at the top of it's voice to be heard, making for a not very pleasant listening experience.

 

Just looking at the sound (on soundcloud) without even listening to it, I can tell you already that you're pushing everything wayyyyy in the red and your limiter is smashing everything together.
I'm listing to it now and I'm sorry to agree with some of the previous posters, I can't even give you an opinion on the track it's soo distorted and smashed together it's really hard to listen to.
Start by having all of your tracks at -6db, that would be a good start and decrease whatever distortion you put on your master channel. If you use any type of distortion on a master channel, it should always be very subtle (5% wet maximum)

 

The composition is quite nice,it's just way too loud it's squashing everything,it's hard to listen to.Agree with zero-frag everything needs turned down.Only thing composition wise I'd change is that lil glitchy stutter break at around 56 seconds because it's off time.Other than that I think this is gonna be pretty nice once you get that mix under control

 

thanks guys again i didnt realize my interface was turned down so naturally everything is blasting lol sorry guys im working on it now

 

cool

 

^^^ new one! also i only mix with headphones due to living situation :/

 

Sounds alot more better than the first one.
What are you using to FX the track?
it sounds like a distortion plugin?
are you using it to make the sound more edgy & aggressive?

Nice mix nonetheless

 

the bass has a bit of distortion mothing on the master but a limiter lol

 

This is much much better, I like it . I think it would be really great if you added a layer of strings and maybe choirs ? I can see some fast cello ostinatums in there it would really fit well and would make a dope hybrid orchestral track. I would actually be intersted in collabing and adding some orchestral elements to it, hit me up
