This is the drop of a song I am making but I need advice because something sounds off with the mix. It's kinda loud so lower your volume.

BTW do you think the melody is boring ??

 

needs more pumping compression !

 

The low end is nice and clean, but mixed a little bit loud and feels disconnected from the melody and perc. Maybe it would sound better if it was more tucked in and tightened.

Where's the pad or "air" type instrument to sparkle up the high end?

The attack/release on your compression (or volume shaper, whatever it is that's pumping) needs to be tuned a bit to the BPM. Play your track in mono and listen to how the melody is practically being torn up by the compressor/volume shaper. It's just a small tune up to make it sound more like it's alive and fits in, instead of being torn to pieces every beat, and I think might make a big difference in feel.

 

video game; what melody? you've presented a chord progression

 

Thanks for the tips guys
I'm using kickstart for all the pumping.

Yep, the pumping is thwarting the track and a bit too much, imho.
The whole track is too mono (maybe make the lower synth extreme stereo?).
The melody is nice.
