    My track is the result after I listened to their feedback. personally I think the volume of the kick is still too loud.

    Curious to feedback done on anythign in the track which means arrangement or sounds or mixing and mastering. I put alot of effort in the track and it has been different alot of times. Hope u enjoy :)

    I see and hear the same thing: turn the kick down a bit or turn something else up!

    Not sure if kick should be quieter, it should be loud for this type of music. Maybe could be turned slightly down, but I think it's ok. Nice track anyways. Clap could be bit louder but might be just subjective taste

    The kick is too dominant; the other instruments are there, but they don't really stand out. You can hear it immediately, and you've probably heard and noticed it yourself. Listen again with rested ears, perhaps on a different player.

    I agree the kick might be lowered a bit. what kind of techno do u listen Pulsewave? I just use the standard -6db for kick and -8-10 for the rest.

    Rely on your ears and always listen to your work again with rested ears.
    If the room or the monitoring monitors are poor, the bass will be misinterpreted.
    Listen to the video and pay particular attention to the bass, then add other instruments later.
