The only suggestion I can think of is amplifying the bass percussion just a little bit, so the base beat is a bit more obvious.
Other than that, I really like this track. Good job.

I honestly think the biggest piece of advice I could offer on this is not to pan the clap like you did. You can stereo separate it, but don't pan it unless you're trying to make a nice stereo image out of multiple samples.

But other than that, holy shit this is good! :D

Kicks! Boost the volume of the kicks! :)

Also, do you mind using appropriate forum tags in the future?

Agree, correct forum tags on the thread and embedding it would be recommended. Pretty good job though.

Your kick is near nonexistant in the mix, it needs more upper click on it
I'd turn down the hi-hats a little, they don't need to be so prominent

In your synth solo section the lead outpowers everything else, I'd EQ it to get it out of the lower and mid ranges a bit. Also I'd put more space in the solo, like more rests - generally a synth that has infinite sustain you have to be really careful to put plenty of space in it to keep it sounding interesting, otherwise it starts to blend.

Maybe it's just youtube compression cutting it out, but it needs more sub bass - did you layer in a lower sine/triangle bass below your main bass sound?

The ending sounds just rather random, I'd at LEAST have it end with one of the notes going through some intense reverb or something - atm it's rather unsatisfying seeing as it just sorta cuts out.

Watch your limiting, when the kick drums build up fast in the very beginning the levels of everything else decrease to compensate - since the kick drums aren't very loud in the first place as far as snap goes it sounds weird, you don't hear the lower kick rumble nearly as much so it just sounds like everything else is ducking for seemingly no reason.



Pretty good start though
