Looking for some technical advice rather than composition on this one.

Things like mastering and sound design, etc.

Thanks in advance!

Ok, the song itself isn't too bad. I like it.

However, technically, not the greatest. The clap when it starts at the beginning is WAY too loud in contrast to everything else. Also, there are this little tiny claps that seem to be centered...and really seem one-sided whenever they appear. It really throws off the song. Other than that, it is good.

Wow, sorry I never got back to you. I completely forgot about this post until now.
I appreciate the feedback and in response I have a question: this song is pretty much maxed out as far as mastering goes. If I raise the volume of anything at all, it'll start clipping. But when I play it alongside other music, it's significantly quieter; it's to the point of me having to turn up the volume of whatever system I'm listening on and then way back down after it's over to prevent hurting my ears with the other songs.
Any tips on how to fix this/prevent it in the future?
